October 2021 75 Word Writing Challenge

Have at it!

 

[JS Wiig]

Trying the @Victoria Silverwolf approach here and getting in the first shot…

 

[Mon0Zer0]

Mine's in! Very, very loosely based / inspired by true life. Had a childhood friend whose house was haunted - all four of the family had seen a figure walk through the house from room to room. Spooky stuff!

Going to try to review these - been busy of late, so hope I can keepit up!

@JS Wiig - Triage - watched Steve Buscemi talking about his time at 9/11 recently, and this story brought it to mind. How difficult it must be to make that kind of life or death decision and how it must weigh on the mind afterwards.

 

[Starbeast]

I had a simple question. When you say "Past, Present and/or Future", do you mean we can choose one or combine two, or all three together?

Just wondering before I put my gasoline powered thinking cap on.

You are free to choose one, or two, or all three. Or, in fact, to interpret the theme in whatever way you choose.

 

[Parson]

@JS Wiig .... Triage .... Keeping your eye on what the ultimate truth is eases one's mind.

@Mon0Zer0 .... At Norton Grange .... Some things are unchanged by death.

 

[Ursa major]

All three...?!

What the dickens could that mean...?

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

JS Wiig: Sometimes the intent is as virtuous as the outcome.

Mon0Zer0: Selfish actions echo throughout eternity.

 

[Mon0Zer0]

Victoria Silverwolf - "In... aeons even death may die..."

 

[Starbeast]

Now I'm completely certain what you meant. Thanks. I began to brew a tale in my mind yesterday. Must be the caffeine.

 

[Parson]

@Victoria Silverwolf .... Depopulation .... Victoria brings us a very unusual and interesting view of depopulation.

 

[Guttersnipe]

Is it cheating if I just truncated a longer story I've been thinking about writing? It wasn't really spontaneous.

 

[Parson]

Is it cheating if I just truncated a longer story I've been thinking about writing? It wasn't really spontaneous.

No. It's your original story and just thinking about a longer one in no way discounts that. We've had several winners years back who would rewrite a fairytale. A favorite one to spoof or mock was "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."

 

[Parson]

@Guttersnipe .... The Suicide Room .... Obviously seeing something horrible is horrible in the flesh, or not.

 

[Parson]

@Provincial .... Reference Point .... When time is meaningless so is life.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Guttersnipe: Some experiences take a heavy toll.

Provincial: When everything comes to an end, expect a new beginning.

Betok_Haney: Sometimes you have to change your point of view to understand something.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Cat's Cradle: Any hope is better than none.

 

[Parson]

@Betok_Haney .... A Change in Focus .... Sometimes the right focus changes your entire picture.

@Cat's Cradle .... The Rooms at Night .... Ghosts aren't real. But they might be.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

nixie: We must treat those close to us with great patience.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Bren G: Hindsight and foresight are equally useful.
