A few days ago, LC Aggie Sith ordered her readers to come up with a short story.
I responded to the challenge but asked that she choose the genre in which to pitch my tent. She lobbed a softball back at me: old fashioned science fiction.
This was a blessing in disguise as I have had a monkey on my back for years and years, a story about teleportation.
Yes, it has been done before, more times than one can count, but I’d like to think this one is different.
Monday was the impossibly fast and cruel deadline. I have only 3100 words or so and this will require 8000-10,000 words to finish it up. Look for it on Wednesday.
I hope you are satisfied O’ Cruel Muse of the Sith.
Holy shit, dude…mine is only three paragraphs 😀
AND DONE!!
Mine is stalled too. But tomorrow is another day!
You asked for short story. You will be getting a novella. 🙂
Whatever makes him happy, and keeps him entertained, right??
I throw a “to be continued” at the end of what I had, and tossed it out there. It needs lots more work, but amazingly … it’s alive!!
