PROMPT NUMBER TWELVE

Oooooh.  Here we stand at an even dozen.  A dozen short stories is like a small anthology.  Is anyone compiling an anthology?

Here's this week's prompt. 

Write a short story of 1000-10,000 words, based on the following:


Do you know how many times God has wanted to destroy the world?*  I think we must read the same newspaper.**


*Apocalyptic theme courtesy of OMG-the-Mayan-Calendar-is-Ending-Bad-Bad-Things-are-Happening-Freakout-2012.  12 stories.  2012.  Does it work or am I trying too hard?

* *It might be fair to speculate that we may be fans of the same sports teams too.

    I'm going to have to stew on this one. Yes, yes.*

    *For some reason I've gotten in the habit of saying my words twice in my mind. I think it may have to do with the character in my short story last week. XD

Word verification is ON because this blog is closed and I hate spam, which I was getting some of. SORRY :( I do hate those captcha things with a deadly vehemence.
