A writing challenge...
If you dare....

A 100 word story. Exactly a hundred words. Nothing more and nothing less. A full story with beginning middle and end and a rudimentary plot of sorts ;O) Realism, fantasy/sci-fi, western...all genres are acceptable *throws down the gauntlet* I'll start.


He began as a hopeful, nameless barbarian with dreams of being another Alexander or Hannibal. An elephant stepped on his head, ending the dreams.

As fate and reincarnation would have it, he next became aware of his crustaceous self in the lobster tank of Cap’n Dan’s Seafood. Ever enthusiastic, even with eyes on stems, he followed his warrior’s heart.

Ten minutes of carnage later, Bisque the Conqueror squealed as he was dropped in boiling water.

Unsure of what to do with him after that, the gods gave him the janitor position. He conquered the bathrooms and finally knew simple happiness.


(I was bored...what can I say?)

A screech, a crash, an explosion. The street soon filled up with the flashing lights of emergency vehicles.
Dweebman was stuck in the middle of the street with no way around the mess. His only choice was to wait, and wait he did. But soon he found himself unable to control his wild passions. He rolled down all the windows in his car.
He put in his favorite techno CD and turned is stereo up all the way to eleven. He got out of his car and danced. The street became a rave of flashing lights, smoke, and techno music.

I say that we all go into a collaboration to patent Brilliance in a Jar for just these sorts of bouts of genius. Yes?
