RE: The Spark + Unbewusstes - Finish The Story Contest - Week #66 @bananafish
I'm not voting until tomorrow because my votes are depleted and I want to give you a full one. This is so very clever that I will have to re-read to catch all the hidden gems. And it starts with the title Unbewusstes. I knew I was going to have fun after I read that.
Teledildonics? Jennifer inhaled a sweet whiff of cigar smoke?
You really lay a trail and hope we know how to follow it, and chuckle.
A writer with subtlety and wit--what a treat. At least this audience of one thinks so.
Kudos!!
OMG I love you!! You're the kind of reader every writer hopes for!
I need to create a book club. I never took my dream of becoming a publisher seriously because I have no business or math skills, but I'd be an accquisitions editor, and moderator of a Book Club - as it happens, @rhondak now has a vision (and the brains) to create a publishing house and a book club.
thank you so much @agmoore!!!!
How did that reply show up so far beneath @agmoore's comment?
My bad...
Nice to see you get disoriented on the platform. I'm always getting lost :)
You must have had great fun writing this...you certainly know how to amuse yourself :))
LOL!
Growing up on a last-century farm, before the internet, before so many things, yes, one had to learn how to entertain herself....
i read too many books, escaped into my own imagination, and overlooked too much in real life, but there is no use lamenting that now.
I was always "out of it."
Old habits die hard.
You, always lost...? You?? You seem so much more savvy than me!!
Thanks for the encouraging words. :)
To add to that a clever dose of humor too.. 500 words are up..😁 😁

They get away with it in Wayne's World - I love how they trot out all the possible endings.
Especially the Scooby Doo ending! OMG, I loved that. (And yet my husband cannot stand that movie. I bought it anyway. For the Bohemian Rhapsody scene if nothing else. For Alice Cooper delivering a monologue about the history of Wisconsin and its native tribes. Sheer genius! Talk about a character acting out of character - that has to be the best example in all cinematic and literary history!
I have a friend who grew up in Arizona and Alice Cooper was one of her neighbors.
She said he was a super nice guy, very smart, and that one of the things she loved about his onstage persona was that it was so incredibly different than the man himself.
I read an interview with him, a couple of years back, and he was asked about the infamous incident where he threw a live chicken into the audience and the fans literally tore it limb from limb.
He said that he and the band were as horrified as those who later vilified them for it, but they were a bunch of city kids, and didn't know that domestic chickens can't fly.
They'd expected it to fly over the crowd and land somewhere safely. Oops.
Ohhhhh the chicken story!!!!
A worse outcome than the ol' "Let's go snipe hunting" ploy country people do to city people, and I have never found it even remotely amusing. Because (as a farm girl) I know that snipe exist, and that shining a light into a chicken's eyes is the way to make them "freeze" (deer in headlights) and get caught. The gag is based on too much logic and not enough "Anyone with half a brain would know not to fall for that."
#GottaLoveAliceCooper!
Lolol, my sister Carol, who never married or had kids, became a Cub Scout leader at age eighteen, because one of our neighbor's kids was in the troop.
I went along as an additional chaperone on a camping trip, in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with the scoutmaster, and I think one of the parents.
And yes, we did indeed take those kids snipe hunting, paper bags and all, and they had a blast . . . and thought it was hilarious the next morning at breakfast, when we let them in on the joke.
;-)
My favorite time was, once we had them at their posts, Carol and the Scoutmaster and I took turn making wild animal sounds. The kids were great fun.
