    Thanks, LBO Maybe a future prompt will inspire a continuation

    Speak for yourself...rotting fish/skunk is perfume to zombies. I'm glad you liked it. from afar
  3. Valkyrie
    Yes, actually. lol The origin of the zombie/Pepsi joke stems from a prompt response I wrote a couple of years ago about the zombie apocalypse. http://www.gayauthors.org/story/valkyrie/2014promptresponses/22 I'm glad you liked this take. Thanks for the review!

    I had intended to write a more light-hearted piece, but this is what surfaced instead. The power of parenthood apparently transcends zombieism. Thanks for the review.

    Thanks, dughlas. Showing the human side of zombies was deliberate, but the social commentary wasn't specifically planned. Good point, though. The zombie could definitely be a stand-in for anyone deemed 'different'. Thanks for the great review.

    Thanks, Tim. I know it's on the short side, but didn't want to get too in-depth since it's a prompt response. There's definitely room for continuation, so let's see what future prompts inspire. I'm glad you liked it. I've written a little bit in third person, but it takes a bit of getting used to for me. I'm glad it worked.

    Looks like Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty. Thanks!

    I had a high school history teacher who used to play classical music before class started and during breaks. He introduced us to a lot of composers, many of which I have since forgotten. I remember one that I loved, but unfortunately can't remember the exact name of the piece. It was a Russian composer and based on a fairy tale. Sleeping Beauty or Snow White or something. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can point me in the right direction It's lovely Thanks for sharing

    Prompt 516 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following in a story – a zombie, a lab coat, a green car, a rusty bicycle, and a baby. The lone occupant of the pale green Volvo exhaled sharply as her dark blue fingernails drummed impatiently on the steering wheel. She turned off the traffic report, scowling. It wasn’t telling her anything that she couldn’t see during the brief second the wipers cleared the windshield of the driving rain. Traffic hadn’t moved in ten minutes. Lightning

    Sorry to hear. I hope the surgery is successful and doesn't involve you becoming Van Gogh.

    Beethoven has always been one of my favorite composers. The Moonlight Sonata is my go-to piece when I need to relax.

    I'm not sure how to embed videos, but the title of your topic made me think of "Decomposing Composers" by Monty Python.

    Great interview! I really enjoyed this story and look forward to what you post next. In response to readers ignoring things that are 'too much of a coincidence'...it makes me think of the saying "truth is stranger than fiction". Sometimes things happen that are so bizarre they defy imagination. Like my brother moving from Western New York to Colorado and ending up on the same hockey team as a childhood friend from the midwest who spent summers with his grandma who lived next door to us. Hmm...that would make a good prompt story! lol

    It's your choice, but since everyone knows you as "Eminent" or "Emi", maybe just stick with "The Eminent GS".

    I wrote this haiku for the Love is Love anthology, but unfortunately I read the time for the submission deadline wrong and missed it. I'd still like to share it here, though. Pulse Red wails and flashes Blue hastens to the fallen A rainbow appears The area I live in is currently suffering a severe drought, which inspired this piece. Drought Wizened stalks fold, defeated, finding fractured fissures burning for nature's quenching embrace.

    oooo a zombie one! Must tackle that prompt LOL
  23. Valkyrie
    Did you write this? If so, I would encourage you to get author status and post it in a collection of your poetry. It's amazing and brought tears to my eyes. It reminds me of a meditation exercise that I did when I took yoga classes. It was a very powerful and moving experience for me.
  24. Valkyrie
    I'm glad you were able to chalk it up to 'assholes being assholes'. Unfortunately, there will always be bigots in the world. I feel bad for your friend. Words can hurt so deeply no matter how much we don't want them to.

    Happy Birthday, Mann! I hope you have an awesome day Here's a steampunk dragon cake for you
