I know, right?

V.

The germ of an idea for this week's prompt surfaced, so I might have it done by the 31st (it's a Halloween story).

Alllllll righttttttt!!!!!

V.

Mom's funeral was yesterday, so the story's sort of art therapy.

I’m very sorry for your loss Walt!

I’m at rehab visiting with my mother-in-law. These things do take up the time.

Big hug...

V

Thanks, Vixyy.

My coffe's sitting here next to me, freshly poured and as yet untouched. As it happens I watched "Bridge of Spies" last night. Now, putting those two things together and measuring them against the history of clever stories you've done in the past (you know, the ones that may not break the fourth wall but will at the very least lick it once or twice). What you get it the sound of screeching metal and crunching gravel as my train of thought is firmly nudged off its rails. It comes to a rest, smoking slightly and tilted at an odd angle. Out of it pops a disheveled looking wolf, scratching his head and muttering, "How in blazes did we end up HERE?"

Awesome Vixyy, that's how.

*hugs*

Rofl..: Thanks for that Wire... really really really!!!!

V.

Ohy, and so you've arrived to facing the creation, "the portraits of your children".


"I have no beginning, I have no death, I am simply here to please your readers with no depth of substance at all. I am nothing more than an ‘extra’ meant to explain some impossibility you came up with and want your readers to believe.”

*Shutters*... "Why do you kill off so many of your characters Mr. Helix, it makes you seem cheap" *Points up* I would be utterly doomed if this where the case.

Fun tale though.

Thanks so much Helix... always good to see you here...

V.

Our characters are alive, either as pieces of our own consciousness or entities of their own. I’ve stopped trying to make sense of it.

Brilliant story, V. I’d say it reminds me a bit of Onic & Andrea, but that would be backwards since you’ve been influencing my writing for many years now.

*laughs... and you music has done the same for me...

V.

Hmm, I would say my dear... you are ripely ready for the loony bin... Nothing like talking to one's self or is that arguing with yourself over who of you is the sane one.

I enjoyed the read.. and have tossed doing something like this myself.

you mention looney bin and I see faces looking at me... ooooo... must be Halloween...

V.

All Hallows Eve is nearing...

A clear case of entrapment.

Bunners

it just might be at that...

V.

As buggs bunny would say: “Ain’t i a stinker?” ;)

heeheehee... Walt posted this link and I've been wanting to send it to you...

Lol

Oh! That's a scream!!!

isn't it?

V.

Very clever. I can see a story where one of the characters is the writer. Not the main character as that would be too obvious, but a minor side character who guides the story along surreptitiously.

*looks over her shoulder to see who is guiding things along...

*smiles... thanks Keefur...

V.

You are truly a special Fur in the Fandom, my friend.

why thank you Keefur... that, indeed, made my heart sing...

V.

Its not uncommon to imagine the characters in our stories would think that way of us, especially the extras and maybe the antagonists (when they are present.)

Little doubt, in some far off alternate reality, they all would exist.

absolutely they would...

V.

The first thing I though of when I finished reading this, twice, was the lyrics from this 1960's ditty:

"And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time,
and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha"

Creative types think different. You're one of them. Keep it up.

that has always been one of my favorites... they won't play it anymore...
