@nixie
Dark one lass, a dark one indeed

My mood is dark at moment.

 

[Parson]

@Calliopenjo .... Garden Gnome .... When you are looking for a perpetrator, remember and say three times: "There's no place like Gnome."

@dannymcg and @nixie have me worried about reading the next story. Biting bullet and reading now:

@nixie .... Fun in the Snow .... Shuddering I ask: "Is Batman in the bag?"

 

[Calliopenjo]

Thank you, Parson. I have to remember that line.

[elvet]

wonders if she's killed this month's challenge

Nope.

 

[Parson]

@elvet .... The Park Ranger (A Campfire Tale) .... Sometimes you hear a hoot owl and sometimes there's a were-owl hooting. I think tonight would be a good night to avoid the campfire.

 

[Parson]

@chrispenycate .... What? And leave show biz? .... Here we have a case of elf examination which might help a person Somake better choices.

@Elckerlyc .... Night Shift ... Sometimes being careful isn't being careful enough.

@Avelino de Castro .... Night Owls... When you're dealing with a night owl, payback is ...... (a hoot).

 

[Avelino de Castro]

Everything I write is weird fiction...

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Well I have finally entered my piece. It was a hoot to write.

 

[Parson]

@Ian Fortytwo .... One Fatal Night .... Bang! Life is rough when you are not the apex predator.

@AMB .... Reckoning of Crows .... And now we know why a group of crows is called a murder.

I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks @dannymcg

It's been a while since I took a stroll on the dark side.

Works for me!

Kharn: Sometimes dreams do come true, but some dreams are nightmares.

Calliopenjo: Innocence is the best disguise for guilt.

nixie: Nature takes no sides, and will help or hinder anyone.

elvet: Ugly is only skin deep.

chrispenycate: Life in the spotlight has its less glamorous aspects.

Elckerlyc: Some secrets should be kept in the family.

Avelino de Castro: Sometimes you have to fight back, within legal limits.

Ian Fortytwo: The middle of the food chain can be an uncomfortable position.

AMB: A tiny danger becomes serious when multiplied.

Starbeast: Listen for the unexpected wisdom of the young.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Thank you to @Parson and @Victoria Silverwolf for your fantastic reviews. That's one thing I can never do, you both make it look so easy.

 

[Hugh]

Apologies @scarpelius - my entry touches similar territory to yours. I never look at others' stories until I've finished my own as I find it too paralysing, but, while I cannot have taken any ideas from your entry, it's always possible, I suppose, that I may have done some psychic pickpocketing of your brain.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Well, I went old-school weird fiction. Fun to write, and I hope an enjoyable read. CC

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Hugh: Language is a tool which both clarifies and obscures.

Cat's Cradle: It is impossible to hide from some dangers.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Thank you, Victoria Silverwolf, for the spot-on review. As always, a huge thanks to you and Parson for the terrific reviews. I always enjoy reading them all, CC
