Stalk me
So apparently, penmonkey Chuck Wendig just passed five thousand followers over there on the Twitters, and to mark the occasion, he’s holding a contest. Entering is simple — you just have to write a story in three sentences.
I have written a piece for one of his Flash Fiction challenges before, and there have been a couple more since that I’ve meant to write something for, but just couldn’t find the time to scratch out a measly thousand words.
But three sentences? Yeah, I think I can take time out of my busy schedule to sit down and knock three sentences together.
Here’s my entry, in its entirety:
It took me weeks of searching, but I finally found the girl from the “MISSING” posters, the girl with the sky blue eyes and the blond hair as soft as sunlight, and rescued her from her kidnappers. “My father has money,” she tells me, “he’d make you rich if you’ll just take me home,” but I just know someday, she’ll learn to like it here. I read the posters very carefully, and they just said she was missing — they never said I had to give her back.
You should go check out other people’s entries, too, at his post: The Big Five Triple-Oh. People are doing some pretty clever stuff.
