I was going to chance the English in the opening portion into American English until it occurred to me that I could just make it so the narrator wasn't from America. Then I realized how many annoying...

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Always nice to have more people participating. Great fun to see all the ideas people can pull out of three words.

I'd been planning to write something fairly depressing, but I was in a good mood when I sat down to start writing this, so it's fairly disturbing instead.


In a Minute



“I’ll be with you...

Thanks for taking the time to host these contests, skull. Good reads all around. Rebbie clearly had the top spot in the bag. That was a really good story.

I'd like to say it was dramatic, but it's really rather sad. I finished up the story (which by that point was so far off my outline that I don't even know why I bother planning these things out...

I'm not sure I had any idea what I was writing. This story is pretty ugly.


Sometimes, a few words can change everything.

“Son,” said the man who raised me, “you were adopted.”

Thank...

I have two ideas that I'm spinning. I haven't quite decided which one I want to go with, though. One has more original ideas stuffed into it, but in some ways it feels like a random, excessively...

Never underestimate stupid people.

I can sort of understand his frustration though. Last weekend I was with a few people (dad, uncle, cousin, and friend) and we headed down for the international...

It's not anything I haven't said myself. I haven't bothered trying to be optimistic about him and his BS for years. Although I occasionally think to myself, "Gee golly, I sure do hope all his...

My brother is the same is always, I suppose. No new leaf for him just yet. I hope he eventually cleans his act up, though. He was released from prison at the beginning of October for something...

Bumper car faceplants and puking! None of the carnivals I've been to were ever that fun. I used to be scared of just about every carnival ride in existence when I was a kid. I have always liked those...

My dreams often tend to be on the violent side, but I've only gotten so ill or disturbed by it that one time that I remember. Maybe it was the context or suddenness of the violence that made is so...

Like skull, if I'm in the right mind after waking up from dream worthy of remembering, I'll grab my phone and send a text message to myself or someone else. For that dream I mentioned, once I...

A nightmare that I found particularly enjoyable (Yes, I enjoy them. I am ill.) was so vividly horrific and gruesome that I woke up feeling physically ill.

Me and my homeboy were on the lam,...

Just a short one.


I could hear them speaking outside my room.

“Are you the new doctor?”

“Yes. Tell me of the patient.”

“Of course, sir. As it says in his file, we received him about two...

It's kind of funny, my original idea started off with the protagonist in very similar position to Rebbie's protagonist, although the story went in a very different direction after the similar start....

As last minute, as always. I threw out like three or four ideas for this story. In the end I just had to sit down and write something, at least.

Sorry, I was just drawing blanks this month. Me brain no workey so well at times. It happens. Generally what I do in this case is write something ridiculous, but I wasn't in the mood for that....

Had to do some trimming this time. It's not so bad. I took 500 words off of the end that weren't strictly necessary to begin with. The story was 4940 in Word, but I edited it a bit while posting, so...

The conversation between the main character and his sister should've been significantly longer. The biggest loss is probably a deeper explanation of what the main character's family actually does,...

I was maybe 2000 words in when I sort of realized that I wouldn't me able to fit everything that I felt I needed to and stay under 4000. I had to cut stuff out that, while not exactly vital to the...

I picked song #5. It sounds all fire and brimstone, gates of hell, and apocalyptic fun, all of which are awesome. I even managed to cram all of those in there. Except for the fire. But there's a...

I got the feeling the most of the hospital staff were rather disdainful of Scientology, which isn't really surprising considering their profession. Although, I wouldn't put it past the church to...

Rereading my story (as I generally do once the results are in), I'm pretty pleased with how the dialogue turned out. (I especially like when dialogue turns out good.) Less pleased with all my typos,...

There's a bit of Irish heritage on my mom's side, but I'm really more of a pseudo-Irishman. A ginger, so I fit your average person's mental image. The crackhead was black, so I'm assuming that "go...
