    Thanks! I always find it fascinating how the same prompt can mean different things to different people.

    Well, ... yes and no. Certainly, I think Leo might disagree, based on his first few days.

    Ah, well... I read it and thought 'Yay!' I can usually make something out of a prompt, even if you end up looking at it sideways. πŸ€¨πŸ˜„

    Belief of some kind - not necessarily tied to religion though. That's the route Theo's trying to head down. Make Hell somewhere attractive. Kinda. One of the best things about a prompt response is not having to devise a complete, bulletproof backstory.

    Sorry - that has been corrected. See the story front page. Glad you enjoyed reading it. 😊

    For a change, the sun shone as Theo Godley entered the unknown part of his new morning commute. He took pleasure in the fresh-minted light which sliced its way through the city centre high-rise thicket with surprising efficiency. His new business shoes were rubbing already. Definitely not designed to be walked in, but he’d forgotten to locate his comfy trainers in the earlier rush. Idiot. The shoes were black, as was his suit. All as per instructions for the new job.

    Gone to Hell

    Theo Godley's on his way to a shiny new job. Maybe the best job of his career so far. Only, it isn't what he expected.
  12. I'm going to be right up to the wire... 😬🀞
  13. Welcome to the club, kbois! Congratulations!
  14. Art is resistance. Art is defiance. Art speaks truth to power. It may not take to the streets or stand in the way of unjust laws, but every contribution is equally valid. Even more so if committing your words to (digital) paper helps you weather the oncoming storm. Self-care is going to be an important part of the next few years. These skyscrapers all speak loud and clear of what may be to come, couched in your inimitable style.
  15. I think I know where I'm going with mine but I've little sense of how long it's going to be or how much time I need to set aside. Planning? What's that? A word limit always gives me a spur - it forces you to be brutal in how you approach the storytelling. Oh, well. Let's see...
