Just read The Owner – a well written piece and I enjoyed it very much. It’s one of those “what if?” type stories, pondering the ramifications – the human impact – of a most unusual change to the physics of the universe.

Keep up the good writing!

[...] “I think back to when I started this blog. I was terrified of all of it. It literally took months to publish my first post. Then I was gloriously Havi’d (yes, that should be a verb). Then I found Diana and Graham, then later Twitching Grey and of course, Paperback Jack. And so many others.” – From Stories to pave the Path to Dreams [...]

“I think writing is the same. It has to be exercised, again and again. The page is like a gym. Some days I’m dying to get there and work it all out, pour anger, frustration, bile out of myself. Other days I know I should go but it’s comfortable where I am and I am sluggish, reluctant, even though I know it’s not good for me. But oh, how good it feels to go there and work hard and to feel spent afterwards. To feel that sparkling virtuosity of the writer who went to the page and worked hard, even though they didn’t feel like it.”

I LOVE THIS PARAGRAPH! That is all …

(Apologies for the late comment – I’ve been away for a while.)

Okay, I am officially impressed, and ever so slightly disturbed – the right kind of disturbed I hasten to add. Seems to be a darker tone this month, winner announced next week, but already I am struggling to choose between several that have got the cogs turning…

“Her breath caught in her throat as she realized that it was not a dream–not at all, for there he was, in her room, his swash completely unbuckled as he began moving toward her. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. She was born a poor young lass in Pittsburgh.”

“Before we get too far into the story, let’s get one thing out in the open right from the start: he had no intention of spending the rest of his life as a well-behaved little cog in a huge machine owned and operated by someone else.”

The worst of it wasn’t that she was leaning against a gravestone talking to the cat, or that the cat was talking back to her, the worst was what the cat said made sense.

Waking up nude and hungover was nothing new. Having it occur in a mall with shoppers gawking and no clue as to how he got there was a new twist. He wanted nothing more than to ask the crowd if anyone saw his arrival but realizing your tongue has been cut out is NOT conducive to regaining clarity.

Hello,

I’m a new reader Love this blog and joined the short story club. It’s a great idea.

First line:

A shadow fell over her face as she looked into the little memory holder, seeing the last memory of her brother, his smiling face suddenly twisting in agony and his screams echoing through the room alongside the unseen assailant’s laughter.

Random.
