DISCUSSION THREAD -- APRIL 2021 75-WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

[Starbeast]

@Starbeast .... Film Noir & My Memoir .... Maybe life shouldn't be like the movies.

Starbeast dwells in the city of nostalgia and reminiscence.

Thank you both for the reviews. I'm fascinated by both perspectives.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

chrispenycate dwells in the city of song and mobility.

 

[Parson]

@M. Robert Gibson .... A Tale Of Cities 2.0 .... Asks what do you get when your tools become too efficient.

@chopper .... Check The Scale On That Map .... considers how the universe might become something less intimidating.

@Mr Orange .... Better .... Tells the tale of what some would see as the proto-typical politician.

@chrispenycate .... Urban diaspora .... Gives the phrase "the city on the move" a whole different meaning.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

bingsubb dwells in the city of stealth and consumption.

 

[Parson]

@bingsubb .... Hunger .... Bing brings us the question, if the city is alive what goes on unseen.

 

[bingsubb]

@Victoria Silverwolf @Parson thanks for the cool comments

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Hugh dwells in the city of manifestation and reaction.

 

[Parson]

@Hugh .... Capital Reaction .... reminds us that people share almost identical recognition of a stranger, but their view of what a stranger portends might be very different.

@mosaix .... SIM Cities .... confirms what was long suspected. It's all an allusion.

@Valtharius .... On the Shores of Tranquility .... creates an introvert's paradise.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

mosiax dwells in the city of recursion and realities.

Valtharius dwells in the city of isolation and sociability.

 

[Mr Orange]

Many thanks for the review @Parson

 

[Parson]

@G.T. .... Ozymandias .... All things living have a time limit, and that applies to cities as well.
G.T. you taught me a word, I'm not sure I can pronounce it but it's interesting none the less.

 

[Parson]

@Elckerlyc .... It's Recreational Hour! .... Leaves me with the questions: "What's in a name?" and was Shakespeare right when he said "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?"

 

[Parson]

@Sinergio .... PREFERENCIA .... reminds us that there is no accounting for what someone might prefer.

Translated via Google:

@Sinergio .... PREFERENCIA .... nos recuerda que no hay que dar cuenta de lo que alguien podría preferir.
