DISCUSSION THREAD -- APRIL 2021 75-WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Peter V dwells in the city of hierarchy and desperation.

 

[Parson]

Are you thinking it should be like a twelve, or maybe a twenty?

As an aside, what happened to the “Preview” button?

I'm guessing that you mean that as a joke, (and with my math skill a missing digit is not unlikely), but on the off chance you don't know; a digit is another way of speaking of a finger or a thumb.

 

[JS Wiig]

Yes it was a joke. Sorry, sometimes my senses of humor can be a bit...off.

 

[Luiglin]

Ok, I had been struggling with this theme and, despite it only being a few days into the month, had given up. I'd planned to come at the end, vote and look forward to the May offering.

Yet, a strange work conversation with @Daysman that came out of a bizarre email we'd both received ended up with me coming up with a character name. That name then got twisted so part of the inspiration for my entry has to go to @Daysman, let me just say... Cheers.

 

[Parson]

@Daysman .... Abroad .... In the future city crimes of the shadow are pursued in every sense remotely.

@Luiglin .... You want to be where everybody knows your name .... Turns Cheers into Jeers.

@Michael Bickford .... Rehab City .... Sometimes a city's rebirth is nothing less than a rebirth.

 

[Parson]

@sule .... Epitaph .... Reminds us that it is very dangerous dealing with tools who are smarter than you are.

 

[Parson]

@BT Jones .... Amendment X .... In a world with the rule of law, the rule that the law enforces can be capricious as long as the enforcement is unseen.

 

[Parson]

@Bren G .... What is Old is New Again .... a timely reminder that the only thing permanent is change.

@Wayne Mack .... New Chicago .... in New Chicago something is moving, but is it progressing?

 

[Parson]

@Dan Jones .... It's Up To You... .... is a story that makes me want to sing a song a bit too glorious for it's namesake.

 

[Parson]

@pyan .... Quercus perit... .... Pyan tells the perfect tale of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Halloo? Anyone here? Parson looks around and then looks back. He's the only one to post here in nearly a week. Maybe this thread is haunted?

Bump

 

[Michael Bickford]

It's Up To You...
From Ebb & Kandor, to Liza, to Frank, to Dan Jones, a great song moves into the future. Love that song!
Can't help but see another mayor Rudi torn apart.
Very clever.

 

[Starbeast]

Just posted a little while ago. The Muse showed up at my door step this morning.

@Victoria Silverwolf Thanks for the challenge. Nice idea. I'm looking forward to see your story, as well as many others.

 

[Parson]

@Starbeast .... Film Noir & My Memoir .... Maybe life shouldn't be like the movies.

@johnnyjet .... The Walls ..... "Something there is that doesn't love a wall." *Robert Frost, "Mending Fences

Interesting that the Cities theme has led to a fair number of dystopian stories.
