So yesterday I did something I’ve never done before – I took my laptop apart. Probably not the most common pastime for most people, but the thing to remember is that I work in IT and I studied engineering, so in a way it’s funny that it took me this long. Anyway, I’ve had my laptop for a […]
Another day, another comment to regret later? After last week, I ain’t sayin’ nuthin’. Title: The Window Cleaner Genre: Romance Dialogue: “So you just let them get away with it? One rule for them and another for everyone else? Give me a break.” Technical: Every sentence has to have a number in it. Although I […]
I’ve had a very busy week, and when I haven’t been busy, I’ve been preoccupied, so I’ve not had a whole lot of time for this week’s story. So when you read this week’s story, you might think it’s a cop out, but I prefer to think of it as a liberal interpretation of the […]
It’s Monday (possibly, depending when you’re reading this I guess) so that means a new round of the WFFC! Let’s see what’s in store today… Title: We have ways… Genre: Adventure Dialogue: “Stop! Where do you think you’re going with my doll?” Technical: The story must be written from the point of view of a […]
So this was a tricky one, considering the restrictions given, and it ended up being quite short. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. Build, Goddammit! Build! The first thing he will do is take you into a long, grey corridor lined with doors along each side, and lead you to the first […]
Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s a day late. So sue me, it was a public holiday. Title: Build, Goddammit! Build! Genre: Horror Dialogue: “They took my money and my dignity, but they sure as hell ain’t takin’ my mayonnaise.” Technical: Has to be written in future tense. I have to be honest, having to write this week’s story […]
Maybe I should change this into a one day challenge rather than weekly, I’m certainly treating it that way. Well, restrictions are here, here’s today’s work. The apostrophes certainly made an interesting challenge. Can’t wait to see what I get next. Blackwater Park Blackwater Park. An old, rundown amusement park, creepy as all hell. The […]
It’s that time of the week again. Here are the restrictions: Title: Blackwater Park Genre: Crime Dialogue: “Before we continue you should know that I did not make that mess in the next room.” Technical: Cannot use any apostrophes. Interesting to note, this is the first time two of the restrictions clashed. The dialogue originally read “don’t”, […]
You’ll find the specifics here. When I got the restrictions for this one, the story I was going to write immediately clicked. There was no period of ‘do I do this, do I do that’, it was immediately ‘I’m doing this’. In the end, it didn’t quite turn out how I had hoped, but the […]
I went to see Captain America: Civil War on the weekend, and while overall I really liked it, I will admit it had some flaws. But before I review it, I want to explain something. I’m a bit of a comic book nerd, and the Civil War event in particular holds a special meaning for me, interestingly from […]
