Discussion thread: March 2019 75 word story challenge.

[Parson]

@Vince W .... Frustrating Guests .... Vince has us dallying with the gods and introduces us to an entirely new definition of politeness.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Vince W intriguingly presents a time when the extraordinary is made to seem mundane.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

M. Robert Gibson chillingly creates a tale of science fiction body horror.

Bob Senior wittily deconstructs our expectations about romance stories.

 

[Parson]

@M. Robert Gibson .... There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse. - Igor Stravinsky .... M. Rob writes a real gut wrencher. You don't want to be eating at the end.

@Bob Senior .... YOUNG LOVE .... Bob crafts a clever story that is not about a Chevy Luv.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Parson faithfully delineates the connection between Creator and created.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

LittleStar movingly portrays regret for an enormous loss.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I'm in. Took me forever to edit my story down to 75 words. Was much better at twice the length. But no time to think of something else, so I posted it.

___

Reminder to others who haven't submitted stories yet: Time's a-wastin'.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Teresa Edgerton powerfully demonstrates how history often fails to make people wiser.

HazelRah movingly portrays devotion which offers the ultimate sacrifice.

TheDustyZebra surprisingly shows how beauty is frequently deceiving.

Ursa major merrily offers a tasty display of wordplay.

@LittleStar .... For What It’s Worth .... Star writes a moralistic tale with a serious view of reality.

@Teresa Edgerton .... DUST .... T.E. brings us a prophetess who knows the truth and is incredibly listened to and followed.

@HazelRah .... To Love or Be Loved .... Hazel puts together a sad story of death and perhaps? sacrifice.

@TheDustyZebra .... Caelestis Scopuli .... T.D. Zebra gives her story a twist that made me go .... What? Now that was a surprise.

@Ursa major .... Pod People Rule, OK .... Ursa shows off his facility at turning phrases while leaving us worrying about our noses.

@Dr_R_Dizzle .... Despair is its own kind of calm .... The Doc points us to the pulse beat of the junkie.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

I started to make a short list, but then I saw it was almost everybody who entered.

Instead, I'll just say that the vote goes to HazelRah.

 

[Danny McG]

I didn't have a short list, I've read them all as they got posted and read through them all again before voting.

Twinkle twinkle little star is the one that appealed to me.
I have just looked again to see who penned it; nice story Scarpelius

 

[scarpelius]

@dannymcg You made my day

 

[Luiglin]

Coffee and a read, lazy Sunday morning.

Edit - would help if I posted everything.

Top three for me

@Daysman – I’m glad it’s not only me that think trees look hungry

@Hugh – being someone who avoids lentils and their ilk, it took me sometime to get the theme but then I did, now I know it’s for a good reason

@Dr_R_Dizzle – I’m glad I reminded you to get this in, cracking tale and gets my vote
