DISCUSSION THREAD March 2020 75-Word Challenge

[Parson]

Add me to the list of retired and doing the challenges, but unlike some of the rest of us, I was doing them long before I retired and I am not making any endeavor to write for publication.

 

[scarpelius]

I feel so young
Congratz JJ

 

[Parson]

@Elckerlyc .... Magnum Opus .... Elck writes a last line that Goggle does not translate. It recognizes the phrase as Finnish, which I strongly doubt, but even if I say it's Latin, which is what I believe, it is not translated. So... doing my best without that probably key phrase ....

Elek gives us a contrast and a transformation which leads to an exclamation.
Edit with @Peter V's help (Thanks!!!) Elek shows us by means of contrast that even when impossible dreams and ambitions succeed the results are not all that they are cracked up to be.

@DannMcGrew .... Mariposa monarca .... Dann made me smile as he personalizes a transformation that is ages old.

@johnnyjet .... On a Whim or Stray Thought .... John helps us to understand that all parents have a tough job and just when you think find a little humor someone gives you a bite.

[Karn's Return]

Powerful entry of a classic Greek myth put out by sule there. The story of Echo and Narcissus, the aftermath...

 

[Parson]

@StilLearning .... Shanghaied .... StilL reminds us that sometimes life transformation is sometimes not ultimately life giving.

 

[Parson]

@Vaz .... A Life by the Sword .... tells us a story of a double transformation, to someone whose humanity is in question and back to someone who knows and lives by the only code which leaves room for life. Revenge is never sweet for long.

 

[StilLearning]

Thanks for the review Parson. I should never go back to my stories, I've now got a terrible urge to do a re-write.

 

[Vaz]

[Parson]

@Celine_Brace .... Acceptance in Birkenau .... Celine brings us to the site of perhaps the greatest modern evil and shows us the transformation that changes people and the world.

Celine, Welcome to Chrons and the 75. What an awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

A reminder to those who haven't written their stories yet: there are only a few days left to do so.

But I must say, the stories that have been entered already are excellent!
