22-word fiction addiction by ~barnabus:iconbarnabus:

Categories Scraps




Things were not going well for President T-Rex.  Pangaea was united against his “eat the enemy” foreign policy.  He was still reelected.

The four horsemen descended upon the world.  They got mugged in South Africa and ignored in New York.
“Fuck this.”
They left.

“Mr. Jones,” said the doctor,” I’m afraid you have cancer.”
Jones moaned in despair.
“Just kidding!”
Jones sighed in relief.
“It’s AIDS.”

“If I believe in myself, I can do anything!”
Self-confidence alone cannot counter the theory of gravity.
Her death was ruled suicide.

The lights went out.  A gun went off.  A woman screamed.  Lights returned.  Everyone was fine.  The night continued without further incident.

Hehe, good stuff. I think a long long time ago I told you I was going to write something like this and I actually did. These are great boredom relievers.

As always yours are much better than mine *sigh*. The last one is definately the best. You have quite the talent for throwing in an unexpected twist while still making it seem normal.

Great, very droll. I love the use of a strict parameter. Really puts up an interesting challenge; and you seem to exploit almost every angle. I agree that the last one is a classic.

Oh yes. You are most definitely the man.
Long live king Barnabus.

Tried writing some once. Didn't work. When I saw the 22-word addiction title, I almost knocked over the screen in my eagerness to reach the mouse to click on the link. yeah, I'm /that/ sad. I love how you began this series, so appropriate!

Good job, as always!
