Saturday Centus
This week we’re supposed to use tactile descriptors, basing our entry on this photo: OK then: The place looks innocent enough in the gold light of sunset. Nobody’s lived here in years, and of course the current inhabitant doesn’t live … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (the on-time edition!)
After not getting last week’s Centus done until last night, I’m actually on time this week for the Centus, huzzah! Jenny Matlock is none too enthusiastic about her prompt this week, but let’s see what we can do here…. Marla … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Friday Edition)
I’m nearly a week late with this, whoops! It’s a standard prompt this time, but it took me a while to come up with an idea. For some reason, this prompt stumped me. Here’s what I came up with: “Gotta…get…into…that…alley,” … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
This week we are given more words — 150 of ’em — but we are limited to dialog only, which is always a fun approach to storytelling. I’ve got Firefly on the brain lately, so here’s something that could happen … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
[EDITED 9-18-11 to add a clarification, below.] Wow, I’m actually on schedule this week! My initial reaction to this week’s prompt was “Oh, crap,” because we’re supposed to take the prompt and work it into a bit of doggerel which … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Tuesday edition)
OK, with this week’s prompt I am officially caught up. Huzzah! And thus it’s time for some morbid humor: Sally was hungry, but Mother wouldn’t let her eat yet. Mother said she had a surprise for Sally, something wonderful. And … Continue reading
Saturday Centus: Football Edition!
I’m actually nine days late with this one. I was stumped for quite a while, but then a really goofy idea came to me, and here it is. “Hey, Joe!” “Frank! Hey Tom, this is Frank. New on our floor, … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
I’m going to do an experiment with this week’s prompt: I’m going to write it right here, without editing it at all. Usually I write my entry in OpenOffice and then tweak and and choose my words to squeeze it … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
This week we get 150 words, but we’re not allowed to use pictures. Oh well! From the liner notes to the remastered If I Die Young, the one album released by Thrash Davis: He was born Reginald Aloysius Bixby III, … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
This week we get another fifty-word prompt, and we’re told that pictures are allowed. So, in keeping with the prompt and my love of whipped-cream related slapstick, here’s my entry: “This is what you do for fun?” he said. “I’m … Continue reading
