THE LIES

[FlashXer] EXERCISE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2008

Good Morning: My computer has been acting recalcitant an I have just combe back with it from the Apple store. So the delay is hereby explained. I hope. Not much comment this morning, just watch out for 8 year old terrorists...we seem to be running one for president, aren't we? I must not let my political feelings enter into these comments, but I want to say that I have been aware of elections since l945, and this is the wildest, strangest i think I have ever watched. It will be interesting, no doubt very interesting indeed.

WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING, FRIEND, IS A SURE PRESCRIPTION FOR DISASTER....

Usual rules. 1000 words. In the subject line, please, your name, the word Planning and the story title. It should be an interesting trip, down story land.
Trust you have fun with it.
Enjoy.

10/10/08 Janine's Planning "The Lies" 81 words

"What you are planning is a disaster in the making, Tony."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Kate."

"Tony, telling those lies is wrong. I don't care if you don't like her."

You're overreacting, Kate. It's not like anyone is going to see the lies on the website."

The lies spread like wildfire all over the school and throughout the community. The girl ended up moving out of the area. She never got past the lies that never stopped.

Dear Janine,

An interesting exchange, although the dialogue needs to be pared down:

"What you're planning will be a disaster."
"What are you talking about, Kate?"
"Telling lies is wrong, Tony, even if you don't like her."
"You're overacting. Besides, who's gonna see my blog?"

Regards,

Jim

THE LIES by Janine Bouyssounouse 81 words

"What you are planning is a disaster in the making, Tony."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Kate."

"Tony, telling those lies is wrong. I don't care if you don't like her."

You're overreacting, Kate. It's not like anyone is going to see the lies on the website." @@@I would say: It's not like anyone reads my website, blog, myspace page or what ever Tony has posted on.@@@

The lies spread like wildfire all over the school and throughout the community. The girl ended up moving out of the area. She never got past the lies that never stopped. @@@I would eliminate the last sentence, since Tony and Kate wouldn't know this.@@@

Hi Janine. This is a nicely written piece, but there's not enough information. I wanted to know what lies he was telling about the girl, and what happened to make him dislike her so much? I made one comment in your manuscript.

You're overreacting, Kate. It's not like anyone is going to see the lies on the website."@@@I don't quite understand this sentence. What website?@@@

Janine,
I liked this little shot. Wish it could have stretched out a little more.
