Blatantly stealing the idea of our head writer, I present a (very) short story using every word from a partially completed Words With Friends game. An autographed head shot of me (actual value $0.72) to anyone who can correctly find the 13 words from said game.
Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End
From the darkness that filled the night sky, the gay jaguar
could only glean that the moons that surrounded her beautiful planet had been
rezoned. Knowing this would affect the qi’s of not only the gay jaguar, but the
entire animal kingdom of planet Mitty, she cried a seemingly endless stream of gay jaguar tears. She
could feel in her ovary that her time to reproduce was near, and with this
unfortunate rezoning of the moons, there was a very real chance that time would

ReplyDeleteDid you like how I bestowed the "head writer" label upon you?
DeleteI don't know... I feel a usurpation coming on...
DeleteWhat is the rest of this story?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhat happens to the cussing jaguars of Mitty? What are the secret battle techniques of gay jaguars? Most importantly, does she take Pamprin for her ovary problem?!?!
You don't just rush into sequels in a story this important. It'll happen, but it has to be done right.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Mike
Hmmph. It's not a sequel if it's the end of the beginning.

You make an excellent point. Check the blog regularly, and you may find what you're looking for sooner than you think.
