My keyboard went on strike, refusing to allow me to touch it, so I hired some scabs while the keys talk to the union boss.

The wind whistles woefully, and I concur.

I just don't get the "punchline".

Speaking as white rabbit, I may enjoy this one.

I'm loving the submissions already.



Don't stop, keyboards! You're singing my song.

I love anthropomorphism! Thanks for another cool writing contest idea. My computer was offline for the last week and oddly enough, the same day you started this thread ... I was thinking about doing a particular idea in an anthropomorphic writing (which I decided against). Coincidence!

Anyway, I'm sorting through ideas for your contest. The one I'm currently analyzing doesn't follow my usual routine of mixing archetypal roles between the main antagonist(s) and protagonist(s). I haven't decided on it for sure yet.

The only thing I have decided on, is my title and the source of my inspiration - special abilities that my (or our or hubby's) real life pets have had.

Evenso, exotic animals would be more fun ... and, I reserve the right to change my mind yet again before I finally get the story spit out of the "white heat" frenzy and posted.

I might toss in a character from a 1995 book of mine - an unusual Druid for the ATS member who seems to be my only reader. I might not toss him in either. Ideas are still whirling and I'll let the "white heat" settle a bit.
