And now for something completely different.... Thank you Chris Green

 

[JS Wiig]

Looks a bit crabby…

 

[M. Robert Gibson]

I'd like to know more about that picture. Any links to articles or more pictures?

Cheers

 

[The Judge]

It's on display at the Jersey Maritime Museum, but their website is seriously underwhelming and I can't find any information about it or the artist. You'll just have to use your imagination! (Or phone the museum asking for the details!)

 

[Parson]

I don't know about crabby, looks a little more insect-y.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Yes!

 

[The Judge]

Solely two puns so far?! Is everyone floundering...?

Yes!

I thought you'd be happy with the piscine flavour to the picture, even if there is no pike on show!

I didn't think it was my plaice to make puns.

Solely two puns so far

We must be lacking people who are dab hands at producing them (or perhaps some of them believe that their puns will fall flat, so don't post them).

 

[Abernovo]

Solely two puns

Sole-ly? I wondered Dover that choice of words.

As to the picture, it puts me in mind of Dr Who's Sea Devils, but I know that's little kelp to anyone.

dab...flat

A fishy story, Ursa.

 

[Rafellin]

That's got waaaaaaay too much Cthulhu going on.

Just
Don't...

 

[Luiglin]

I'd only flounder if I tried to make a pun.

On a serious note, an idea springs to mind like a writing lamb frolicking in a pasture so green, yet unaware that somewhere near lies the wolf of self doubt and the metaphor farmer of awful anthropomorphic alliterations.

 

[Rafellin]

Don't make it dark
Don't
Just
Don't...

Not dark, just a little creepy at the edges.

Rather belatedly -- I've only just realised what the date is!! -- the Challenge is now open for entries!

Good luck, everyone.

 

[Parson]

@Rafellin .... Go Home .... Asks the question whether some action is enough action and leaves us hanging.

@Astro Pen .... The Uprising .... Asks the question whether or not learning from the mistakes of others is even possible.

A terrific photograph of an amazing and inspiring piece of art. Well done, Chris Green!

I had two stories, one funny, one dark. I kinda wanted to write something with adverbs, so I went dark... adverbs seem to suit dark.

I've enjoyed the stories entered so far. Best of luck with your writing, to all yet to enter. Have a good month, everyone, CC

ps - yes, there is a writer who influenced my story.

 

[Luiglin]

Not written anything as yet. I'm leaning opposite of yourself, @Cat's Cradle and going humourous.

Although many say my humourous entries are the same as my dark... both resulting in distaste
