Since I left, I've gotten into writing 100 word stories (aka "Drabble")
Most of them are pretty messed up, and I post them at 100wordstories.com or record them for my podcast.
Here's one for Christmas:
---------------------------------------------
Jimmy put the cookies and milk out on the mantelpiece.
"Isn't that cute?" said Susan. "Our boy is so wonderful."
"It's insane," said Eric. "There's no such thing as Santa Claus."
Later that night, Jimmy heard a jingle and a thud.
He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, giggling.
Santa was in front of the fireplace, his hands on his throat, dead.
Jimmy screamed in horror.
When Susan and Eric came downstairs, they saw the dead Santa and tried to comfort Jimmy.
"I'm so sorry," they told him.
"I am too," said Jimmy. " I was trying to poison Daddy."
---------------------------------------------------
I'll post more here over time.
Oh, and feel free to stop by the podcast and join the Weekly Challenge. |
