Apocrypha of Natural History – Act III

Jun 2nd, 2010 by profadamworth in 100 Words

Amidst all the trimmings that the gardeners of our reality have deemed inappropriate for existence, all the strange treasures from lost histories, only one thing interests the Thief.  Despite its quiet profile, it’s the one artifact that promises to fracture the Thief’s world and reinvent it anew.  Gingerly, the Thief opens the chest….

A scroll, written in ancient Aramaic, tells a story.  It tells of a world where Mashup Month was never possible.  Where thegooddoctor rose, put on his man-panties, and never enriched my weblog with delightful synergies of truth and fiction.

The Thief places the scroll in her bag.

    It's not over until I say it's damn well over!

    I understand your point about using the Figment prompts. It might make more sense to put the prompts first, because I am very directly playing with the expectations created by the prompts. A number of the stories are noticeably weaker if you don’t know the prompt that engendered them.

    You can go back in the archive and see I have plenty of stories that stand alone without any prompts. This batch is just an experiment. I’m trying to create even more restraints beyond the 100 word limit.

    Thanks a lot for your interest.
