DISCUSSION THREAD -- December 2017 75-word Writing Challenge

[Parson]

@LittleStar .... Christmas Time .... When you need to believe that your dreams can really come true.

 

[Starbeast]

I've been fiddling with an idea for a week, and now it's finally tacked up on the wall.

I can't imagine what others have written. But I'll find out.

 

[Parson]

@Starbeast .... Davros Holiday Special .... When you need inspiration to buy the right gift for that very important person.

 

[Starbeast]

@Parson - Thank you for the review, bro. Are you entering the challenge this month?

 

[TheDustyZebra]

If anyone is anxious to vote for something this week, make your way over to HERE and you can read, discuss and vote for your THREE favorite stories in the Kraxon poll.

 

[Parson]

@Parson - Thank you for the review, bro. Are you entering the challenge this month?

I do intend to, but I do not have a story even peculating at this point.

 

[Perpetual Man]

A little interruption, something for people to muse over: A Challenge from Perp?

 

[Parson]

@Bob Senior .... Final Countdown December 24th .... When you need a good excuse for being late for take off.

 

[Calliopenjo]

May the light from stars above, shine down on you. May peace and love become commonplace. I hope all of your wishes comes true.
Happy Holidays!

 

[SilentRoamer]

Really glad to be taking part in these competitions, I've always written but always had a problem letting other people read what I write. So this is a good excuse for me just to get some words down.

@Calliopenjo Something from the Heart - A gift given with the kindest sentiment.

@nixie The Clock on the Wall - A tick-tocking tale of the traumas of a small child's lunch.

@ASleepyGiraffe As the Clock Ticks - The most precious of gifts can only be given but once.

@D.A. Xiaolin Spires The Present is the Present - All historical avenues leading to the road of now.

@Shyrka Savour the Moment - A second for eternity.

@Talysia Blessings - A patient wait for an Angelic wink.

@Cathbad One Life - A mothers tale of a life lost.

@jackwinabox57 Steak n eggs,baked potato,key lime pie,chocolate milk. - A last meal presented to the past.

@dannymcg PURGE: - A ho, ho, horribly festive purging.

@DragonAether The Last - The only remaining flora of Earth cast out into the stars.

@John K Feast not Swords - A gift freely given for a hand rightly stayed.

@SPoots Your New Present - A cure for the past and a salve for the present.

@Droflet The Experiment - Past, Future and Present, all of time on a Harness. Shipwrecked in a present not his own.

Really impressed by the quality of the entries, I expected some great stories spread throughout but the quality is across the board!

More reviews to come!

@David Evil Overlord .... Romeo and Juliette and the Djinn .... When you need inspiration to circumnavigate a dilemma laden conundrum.

 

[Glen]

I logged on to see about getting this month's story in, but I see I have already done one.
Good, that saves me a job.

 

[juelz4sure]

It's been a while since I've tried a challenge... Good grief I forgot how hard it is to get a story across in just 75 words.

 

[Parson]

@Suzanne Jackson .... New Lessons .... When you need to understand that from whom much is given, much is required.

Suzanne, I liked this very much. It's a lesson we should all take to heart.

@Ajid .... The planet .... When you are filled with a nameless compulsion.

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you, Parson.

 

[Parson]

@johnnyjet .... In the Present.... When you need to remember that stopping is the same as dying.

-----------

And then Parson posts his story. I probably shouldn't review it, but I do hope that many will enjoy the story of Ezekiel.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Well done, Parson! A complex story, with lots of world building, all in 75 words, CC

 

[Parson]

@Teresa Edgerton .... In Memory of the Princess’s Birthday .... When you need to remember its the giver not the gift you need to consider.

 

[Ursa major]

Just so no-one forgets....

The Kraxon poll closes at midnight (GMT) tonight, and it's a very close race.
