Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Only seven more days until this contest is over!

Anyone working on anything good? I hope you're having fun writing whatever you are planning on!

Boy is writing such a chore or such a whirlwind of emotions.... but so worth it at the same time! :D

Ray the mouse has decided to take up smoking, but the other mice are worried that he’ll get drunk and set the ship on fire.

Al wrote: "I have a story planned out, but my characters don't like the plot. Which is good, right? But they're resisting hard...."

Hahahaha. I don't know what one can do when that happens! XD

Oh and Al.... DON'T give the mice beans.

It'll be like "fuel" to the fire of Ray's flame!

Det. Mallard: Smoking is bad. Glad I never did it...!

Me: Oh listen to you Mr. "I've never had an addiction!"

Det. Mallard: I only get the feeling to get stuck to a case!

Me: Oh yeah, coppie, well what about coffee?
Ever felt like you were addicted to that....?

Det. Mallard: (Pause)

Me: Yeah. Got ya there!

Det. Mallard: I love coffee.

Me: I love coffee...

but I miss it too.

Det. Mallard stares me down

Det. Mallard: Wait a minute.

Just what in hell are you wearing, by the way...?

Me: Oh this...? It's a mask!

Det. Mallard: Yes. That and what is the purpose?

Me: It's a long story. (I throw my hands up like it's a big joke onstage).

Det. Mallard: (Sighs) (Walks out)

Sometimes I come up with stuff right on the spot.

(Det. Mallard: That's why we need "spot remover...")

Espresso beans covered in dark chocolate. It’s been way too long since I’ve had those! I’ll pick up a bag at the next opportunity.

Al wrote: "Haha! Not THAT kind of beans. Chocolate covered coffee beans, of course. ;)"

Oh okay then. Whew! haha

I've gotta try those M. Sounds good! Though I can't have coffee right now because of a current serious health problem.
