DISCUSSION THREAD -- October 2020 75 -Word Writing Challenge

[Victoria Silverwolf]

-K2- tellingly enters the heart of one with many regrets.

 

[JJewel]

Shaping up to be a great contest, love some of the idea`s, keep reading them as they come in and thinking why hadnt I thought of that?

And we are only on day 2!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

BT Jones chillingly tells of danger from a most unexpected source.

 

[Droflet]

After a long absence I've thrown something together. But Kerry's entry makes me wonder why. Hey, why not?

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Well I'm sharpening mi axe init.

Weaving the Tuder Punk angle in will call for some thinking though.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Droflet movingly offers a portrait of the ultimate sacrifice.

Daysman eerily presents a menace all the more terrifying for being unseen.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I'm in - now on to the 300 worder! CC

 

[M. Robert Gibson]

Well that's another surprisingly early entry for me, but I thought I'd get it in before someone else used the same idea

Now I can devote more time to the 300 words...

 

[-K2-]

What he said...DOH! See what he means?

[mosaix]

Horror isn't my favourite genre but the 'woodland' bit helps.

I'm in. Now onto the 300.

 

[Parson]

@Danny McG .... Spade Baddies .... We have our first entry from a 7 year old. Go Danny! ---- (Did that seem too easy for you?)

@-K2- .... Of Futures Past .... Sometimes the greatest horror of the present is the future we helped to make and not the beasties who might inhabit it somewhere.

@BT Jones .... Alyssa

Jack .... It's horrible the way the world swallows up love and buries it.
Err.. B.T. that was a hard title to duplicate!

@Droflet .... Salvation .... Sacrifice is more powerful than death or evil.

@Daysman .... Out of the Woods .... When there is no comprehension of the problem there's a problem.

@wagtail .... My Special Place .... Is a place of cold revenge and hot blood.

@Cat's Cradle .... “Running Won't Save You” .... The real curse of humanity is the inability to take wise advice and instead follow our own weird thoughts.

@M. Robert Gibson .... This Ain't No Picnic .... Don't be fooled by appearances of tranquility something evil this way comes.

@mosaix .... Anything For A Laugh… .... Terror smiles at fear and enjoys what comes next.

**** Stars, people! This challenge must be coming entirely too easy for a lot of us. We are more than a third of the way to the magic 42 in less than two days. The Parson in me doesn't want to meditate too long about that.

I'm very annoyed at auto correct.
The title did say Spase Baddies. (Deliberate misspelling)
I noticed the Spade some hours later!

Just as good, Danny. Worry not.

Well, your spelling over the past half-century isn't quite there yet. But keep at it! Only 24 more letters to go

The funny thing is that my first glance read it "space."

 

[Bren G]

Found some inspiration on a morning hike today and dropped my 75’er shortly thereafter. I had to tread lightly..else...

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

wagtail powerfully conveys the desperation of the abused.

Cat's Cradle intriguingly portrays one whose misperceptions cause problems.

M. Robert Gibson wryly offers a gruesome ballad.

mosaix eerily probes into the roots of a common fear.

Bren G sardonically relates the follies of humanity.

[Starbeast]

I'm in.
I've tried to remember it best as I can from 56 years ago!

Spase Baddies That was an unexpected gem. I think it's cool that you entered a story you wrote as a kid. Well played sir.

I must confess I remember a horror tale that I wrote and illustrated as a kid. It was inspired by Jaws.

Well, if you can get Jaws into the woods... Sharknado 87 anyone?
