DISCUSSION THREAD JULY 2020 75-WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

[Bren G]

Congratulations @The Judge, a very well deserved win.

You asked for some of the more obscure entries to be explained. A Meeting of Minds was inspired by a recent, and rather grim, news article. The deaths of roughly 350 elephants, which were spotted in the Okavanga national park of Botswana by planes overflying the area, are being investigated because the elephants all still had their tusks attached and so were not killed by poachers.

Perhaps it would have been less obscure if I had made more of an effort with the title - Ele-Mentats: A Meeting of Minds, maybe. Probably not, however, and that is a failure of my writing, not of my audience.

BTW, thanks to @Bren G for the mention. I hope the story hasn’t been spoiled for you now!

Not at all @Provincial. It only made it better!
