DISCUSSION THREAD -- MAY 2024 75 WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

[Starbeast]

The Muse left me an idea in the fridge. After she ate my meat pie.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Starbeast: A rollicking farce of mishaps and misadventures.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

mosaix: A playfully droll variation on an old tale.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

johnnyjet: A moving look at things lost.

 

[Parson]

@Cat's Cradle .... Shameless Dentistry .... A story that will make you think twice about your next dentist visit.

@Starbeast .... Steptoe & Son: Night of the Blood Oranges .... A story that made me laugh while going huh? what? Oh no!

@mosaix .... You’re My Best Mate You Are… .... A story that may be more logical than the original, but still quite crazy.

@johnnyjet .... I Remember Forget-Me-Nots .... A story that is full of buds and flowers of memory.

 

[Parson]

@emrosenagel .... At the Place Peopled with Trees, the Place Where People Take Root .... A story which makes me remember the old saying that "sometimes the cure is worse than the disease."

@genelewis .... Invasive species .... A story which puts me in mind of the human trait of hubris.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

emrosenagel: A bittersweet tale of transformation.

genelewis: An ironic example of hubris deflated.

 

[Phyrebrat]

I’ve had about six disparate ideas but can’t decide on one. Brain freeze!!

Might get one in before the close off; might just sulk and stamp my feet (in rhythm, of course).

 

[Astro Pen]

A lot of us on the same wavelength for this one.

 

[Parson]

@Astro Pen .... Dissolution .... A story about a slow but thorough cleansing.

 

[Parson]

@reebee .... Hyperborea .... This is a story which makes me think about a subtle and deadly terror.

@Waza .... Fungus Among Us .... This is a story that reminds us that when something new is entered into the equation everything can change.

----- 25 minutes later ---

@AnRoinnUltra .... The smell of Progress .... This is a story which makes me realize that whatever world we inhabit there will always be members who have left common sense far behind.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Astro Pen: A sweeping vision of the vastness of time.

reebee: A chilling tale of adventure and menace.

Waza: A provocative change in point of view.

AnRoinnUltra: A biting satire of quackery.

 

[Parson]

@Luiglin .... And all he said was, “I wouldn’t know about that, sir” .... A story which makes me wonder about what battles are worth fighting.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Luiglin: A wry example of how anyone can be a hero.

 

[Bowler1]

My inspiration has a touch of the Game of Thrones with a wedding feast, so does that still count as an original idea - I have my doubts. Anyway I'm in, let's see how it goes.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Bowler1: An intriguing reminder that victory is not always certain.

 

[Parson]

@Bowler1 .... Angry Ancestors .... A story which reminds us that ignorance is far from bliss and that the battle is not always won by the strong.

 

[Parson]

I'm in but it's a more a story I was done with than a story that I felt was done. I spent several hours trying to pound that story into shape and I still feel that I needed a hotter fire and a better blacksmith to pound that puppy into a piece of Damascus steel rather than pig iron.

 

[THX1138]

I have one thing to say about your story, Parson...
