Am feeling a bit burned out this week from work, so perhaps not my best work. still, I think there’s a solid base here that could get fleshed out into a decent story. It would need a lot of work though. Original challenge can be found here.

Poor Dick was my setup man, and here we are to finish it If you click on the aforementioned author’s names, you’ll be able to read part one and two of the story on Angela’s and Kristian’s wordpress blogs, respectively. I’m including the entire text, start to fin, below. Mine begins at Part 4. (more…)

Then, after all is said and done, compile the whole shebang and put it out there for sale.
What could be easier? (more…)
