Writing Challenge type thing

[pyat]

bodhifox challenged his friends list to write a 100 word vignette or story dealing with our default user icons. This is mine!

“Pie!

Automat pie!

Oozing fluorescent jellies, dribbling onto chipped plates, or sealed betwixt flaky dry crusts, the whole basking 24/7 in the electric sun of a fly-specked light bulb, treasures sealed behind glass, awaiting the jingle of silver to free them.

Oh, glory be! A petroleum rainbow of chemical-tinged flavours, and names that bespeak sun-warmed Floridian hills and mist-shrouded orchards. Here lemon, there cherry, or apple, beside foreign delights like coconut cream! A half-dollar buys you these glories, sir, a half-dollar will open the glassy gates of pleasure and permit you to ravish a plateful of quivering pie!

Step up!”


If anyone wants to do this on my list, I’d be interested to read the results!

Raccoon carved into a gourd.

"I like Raccoons.

I am good at carving pumpkins.

Last year I found a raccoon pattern, and a match was made in heaven.

Can't think of more words to pad this out to one hundred. It seems that sometimes I'm not quite as loquacious as some other folks. It's not that I don't have anything to say. I just tend to be succinct when I'm explaining something, preferring an economy of words over useless flourishing of an overextended vocabulary. I have nothing against big vocabularies. I like nifty words, myself. Like callipygian.

Whoops, looks like I wrote one hundred words."

(Yeah, I know I did this one already, but seeing as we have a bit of a cross-over, I didn't think you'd mind.)

Cats have been worshiped as gods, and held to be aloof, arrogant creatures, simply because humans lack the ability to read such a complex face. There is one expression, however, that translates easily – that of befuddled superiority. This expression is worn whenever the cat sees its companion doing something particularly unwise, and, unfortunately, it seems that my cat invariably catches me in compromising positions. Like now, standing on one foot, attempting to put my pantyhose on, while curling my hair as I’m late for work. The look says it all – you’re going to fall over, and I’m going to laugh.

Surely, nothing of nature should be so Lemony as this pie I see before me!

That is not 100 words! ;)
