Random story thread.

nice one camus ... this is the one i like ... http://www.abctales.com/story/brighteyes/backwards-to-bethlehem (i got about 20 i didn't like before i got to it so was super grateful) i like it because it has the word fish in it and because i really took to the last two lines ...

great idea, just read Bob's one recommended by Camus, hilarious - though some of the lines caught me up a little - but great tale! Juliet

Only 20 times ivoryfishbone, I have been clicking away for what feels like hours. Eventually got this http://www.abctales.com/node/506960 I admit I have read it before, i think on random story again, but it is definitely worth a read, fantastic writing and a brilliant (if rather graphic) ending.

Found this one: http://www.abctales.com/node/514342 Chose it cos. got hooked at the beginning. It did the sleep-deprived disorientation thing well. And it was short.

Oh and I thought The Kitten (Celery's selection) was great (winced at the end though...)

http://www.abctales.com/node/530931 there was something appealing about this for me ... apart from the bits about gripping the (crumpled) map ... "to our vehicle" not needed ... but i like the narrative ... the characters came across ... i think it's the ending i like ...also the word "coaxes" ... it is laid out like a poem but i think actually it is prose ... (and i had clicked many times again and counted about 6 "souls" and 2 "shards")

I'm still looking for one that hasn't been cherrry-picked. A good choice, Jem, I feel the same way.

http://www.abctales.com/nancy_am/nostalgia A short poem but a good one. It raised images in my mind, all those photo's of dead relatives, but I saw my mother smile again.
