Last week’s challenge: Sub-Genre Mash-Up With A Twist.
Hey, I know — most of you are nostrils-deep in NaNoWriMo.
You don’t have time for a big long crazy flash fiction challenge.
As such, let’s tighten the margins on this one.
You have three days to write 100 words.
I don’t care what the story is or what genre it falls into.
But three days: due by Monday, noon EST.
And under 100 words.
Post at your blog and link back here.
Let’s see what you got.
Jake Bible says:
I’m not going to officially join the challenge since I write a free drabble every week (and wrote an entire novel using only drabbles), but thought I’d link to my site if anyone needs to see examples or get some inspiration. You can do a LOT with 100 words!
Cheers,
Jake

I don’t know why this came out so dark. I think I’ll write another, and try for something… happy.

Oh, and I made a slight change to last week’s: “the Admiral” is now “Admiral Cedric.” I’m not sure how that one slipped past my radar.

“A Bottle to Go” — a little risque, but what can you say about the last few minutes of an astronaut’s life?

“I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no iPhone.”
Here’s my effort and it’s a word short to fool you into thinking you haven’t spent a whole dollar.

I broke the 28,000 mark today. I am very relieved. I almost gave up last week. But after a weekend of rape, pillage and plunder, I am feeling much better, thank you!!

For someone who regularly goes well over length on these challenges, I really enjoyed this one, where I came in at exactly 100 words. It’s a bit like assembling a watch.
It’s called “The Chisel’s Sharp Edge”, and it’s here: http://narratorium.com/2012/11/18/the-chisels-sharp-edge/

Sneaking in here at the last minute – I just got my blog up last night.
I cheated smashing my last word to hit the 100 (but at least it is for a story element).
