I write a ton of short stories, so here's one I wrote earlier.
Steven King said: "Stunning, and breath-taking. No story this year will move or inspire you quite so much as this will."
The New York Times said: "I was quite simply moved to tears. No story has had such a positive impact on my life as this one."
Dan Brown said: "I was hooked from the beginning to the very end. Tom Clancy really displays his skill as a writer and an artist from the get-go."
However, I'll let you be the judge. 🙂 Prepare to be force-fed pure liquid awesomeness!*
In the beginning, the page was blank. So I wrote day and night. On the first day, I wrote the past couple sentences. On the second day, I wrote this one to follow them. On the third and fourth days, I wrote this sentence, and on the fifth I created a main character. His name is Purple. He says hi. On the sixth day I created a setting – a town called Disc-Remote. There were only six days in my week, because I didn’t want to try and outdo God. That’d be a bit ambitious.
Purple woke up on Karlsday morning and looked out of his window – it was raining. Purple liked rain, so he went into the garden and stood amidst the downpour for an hour or so. Purple was aware that this wasn’t contributing to the story much, but he had been given an unusual amount of free will for a fictional character, and so he stood there defiantly for most of the day.
“If you don’t move soon, you’re going to catch a cold, or worse, pneumonia.” I said to him, as day turned to night and the rain continued to pound the town.
“You’re the author – it’s within your power to stop that.”
“Yes, but if I’m going to emulate nature within this world, you will be susceptible to the same diseases as us humans.”
Purple snorted and turned his nose up at me. Within a week he was dead from pneumonia.
Well I did warn him.
The End
