DISCUSSION THREAD -- MARCH 2022 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Parson]

@Bowler1 .... Beware The Ides of March ,,,, Bowler1 imagines a future where Caesar is exactly what is claimed for him.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Astro Pen marches to an amusing look at the power of art.

Bowler1 marches to an intriguing revision of history and literature.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Luiglin marches to a droll look at incompetence.

 

[Peter V]

I can honestly say that I am really enjoying reading the entries so far. Already at least four I can say are definitely going to get my vote. Clearly I need help (or bribery).

I would like to say @ Luiglin that your entry is probably my favourite of all the Dark Lord appearances to date. It made me smile and I really appreciate that injection of dark humour, thank you.

As for me, I am bereft of inspiration at the moment and on the few spare moments I have been able to sit and stare at a blank screen, I cannot escape thoughts of something political and cutting along the lines of booted feet driven to march over children. I think though that there is enough coverage of distressing world events and I need this place to escape - if only for a few minutes.

Keep up the good works peeps!

 

[Bowler1]

Bribery???

Save your money everyone and invest in pitchforks which never wear out and unlike a one off bribe, can last a lifetime.

All said with a poker straight face....

 

[Parson]

@Luiglin .... Just put the right left foot in front of the other, surely? .... A story that reminds us that Murphy's law even applies to the Dark Lord.

 

[Bowler1]

I think our reviewers have been ready and primed for almost a week now, with no action. This enforced rest can't last forever.

That Parson has ruined my post - do I pitchfork or RAY GUN Parson???

But clearly only when voting starts, as I like having reviews.

 

[chrispenycate]

Oh bother!

Both the emu and I have plaiarised the same song - and he got there first, so it looks as if I copied.

What's the odds against that when the theme is 'march'?

 

[Lenny]

Ahh, chrispy, I can only apologise for swanning in like that! Great minds though, right? And two wildly different uses of the same base.

 

[Bowler1]

Or we get a mob together, and with a toss of a coin (hard luck Lenny, but the Great Crispy never loses) chase down the loser.

Bowler1 waits, shifting eargly from foot to foot.

 

[Parson]

Bowler1 waits, shifting eargly from foot to foot.

@Bowler1 the facility is around the corner to your right.

That Parson has ruined my post - do I pitchfork or RAY GUN Parson???

Be careful. I have friends in high places.

 

[Parson]

@Lenny .... Leonard Battalion Reporting .... Lenny waxes lyrical about a pied piper who does a cadence that is undeniable.
--- Long time no see! Welcome back Lenny!!

@BT Jones .... March .... BTJ reminds us that the cruelest month has a heart of gold beneath that cold frozen exterior.

@chrispenycate .... The Outer Marches .... C.P. versifies about how different home feels after fighting a war.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Lenny marches to a rousing hymn of praise to the power of music.

BT Jones marches to a poignant bit of anthropomorphism.

chrispenycate marches to the joy of homecoming.

Aknot marches to a chilling depiction of the inhuman.

 

[Parson]

@farntfar .... New Earth tales The Prologue .... Farntfar points us toward a traditional march of remembrance.

@JS Wiig .... Beware the Hands that March .... JSW packs a lifetime of philosophy and insight into 75 words.

 

[Parson]

@johnnyjet .... March of the AI Shoes .... J.J. writes a purely fantastical story, with an ending that makes you both groan and consider a deeper truth.

@Hugh .... That which comes from within... .... Hugh writes a story of self actualization.

 

[Parson]

@Dan Jones .... Hare .... D.J. reminds us that sometimes you're the hammer and sometimes you're the nail.

[Parson]

@Bren G .... All Things End in Time? .... Bren tells a tale that sounds like a beautiful love tale and a fantasy ending. But is it really?

@Mark_Harbinger .... PROSTHETIC .... Mark's story helps us to remember that it's how everything works out at the end which is important.

 

[Mark_Harbinger]

Thanks for the interesting comments!

Post #2 still towers, in my opinion.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Parson marches to a witty comparison between fiction and reality.
