(can you tell I'm overtired?)
Mine will be up later than normal today, probably in the evening sometime, as I'm scooting out to get a ream* of blood tests done, which will take a few hours. Nothing serious, just a yearly checkup thing-a-ma-boo**.
Soooo... you want your line? I've got your line, I've got it right here:***
The smell was worse than surströmming.****
Remember, take as long as you want, hopefully you can bang something out over the weekend, but if you need longer, feel free to come back whenever and post a link, OR post it in its entirety in the comments.
Happy writing! Please, oh please give me something fun to read!!
* Okay, not 500, but still, like... 9? Nope, 10. I double checked. Though for the 10th one, they draw blood 3x over 2 hours, so that's kinda like 12 :p
** I swear that's the technical term ;)
*** Oh, yeah, obscenely overtired. I'm actually typing this out at 12:58am and scheduling it to go up in the morning since I have to be at the lab before 7am.
**** The short explanation is: rotting fish. The longer explanation is here.
Where do you come up with these lines?? I love herring ...your lines are not the easiest.. but you know that. Though I have managed to incorporate your lines into my weekly blogs so who knows? but we're away this week end so don't know
ReplyDeleteHeh, that was actually a writing prompt from the ONLY writing class I've ever taken... which was in high-school ;) Mine was... typically dark. A guy about to be executed who gets released due to a grammar error.
DeleteI actually intended to use a different one for today, but I knew it would be a rough day for me, so decided at the last minute to go with the one that could inspire a more funny/lighthearted piece.
Did a small one on my blog that isn't very good at it: I knew I wouldn't have time last night, so did it on my phone at lunch Friday :)

Feel free to stop by and read mine. I went over your limit (608 words), but used the prompt. Unfortunately, it isn't as lighthearted as you probably wanted.

Hey, there were no requirements that it be lighthearted ;)
