Last week, the guys down at Penny Arcade decided to hold a nifty little contest involving ten word stories. As they put it:
you must write a short story, set in World of Warcraft, and this story must be precisely ten words long. [...] This contest is easy and fun. At least, for me! But Gabriel has told me that I cannot win, so you've got a shot. Something along these lines, maybe:
His father's sword, shattered to the hilt, fell like stars.
It doesn't have to be especially epic, it merely needs to ring true. For example:
"Help," he cried. "My dick is stuck in this Treant!"
See what I mean? It paints a picture. You know everything you need to know about the dick and the Treant.
Naturally, I leapt at the challenge...from my chair, which involved little to no actual movement. Anyway, as I was attempting to write my entry ("Damned Rogues!" he fitfully cursed. "I should have rolled one."), I realized just how potent and fun such a challenge can be; and for any subject.
Basically, I want to try to write a bunch of 'em, and not just for World of Warcraft. And feel free to write some of your own as well, be it here or wherever.
