December Blog Chain

Last month, the AW blog chain focused on drabbles (stories 100 words or less).  This month the bar has been set higher.  Actually lower - word count that is.  Below is my submission for the December blog chain - hint fiction (25 word stories), followed by a list of all chain participants.  Enjoy and

Write on.

  4. I sense a conspiracy! These hint pieces are such wonderful teases, kind of like prompts unto themselves.

  5. Works on its own and as an opening hook.

    I like it!

  7. Never thought about using this as a hook or an expanded story. The point of this exercise was to basically give a story in 25 words.

    That said. Thank you all so much for your kind words.

  10. How relevant, given all the scandals that cropped up a couple years back. Short (duh) and sweet, and well done.

  12. Are they truly dead? Was it a sleeping potion? Now I want to know more. A quick little mistery.

  13. I suppose that's why they call this "hint fiction."

    Thanks again for the kind posts.
