Chuck’s challenge this week: Infocomm Inventory. This one really called to me because I enjoyed the heck out of these games back when I was a young’un. That said, squeezing eight items from a grab bag into a single story of only 2000 words is not an easy task.
My list of items was: a crucifix, a jade figurine, a soccer ball, an ionic diffusion rasp (!), a veil, a coin, a pearl necklace, a manuscript, and Chaos (capital letters included). That’s right, one of my items was CHAOS.
Anyway, another dark one, and my apologies if it doesn’t hold together as well as I thought it did — I have been on some pretty serious painkillers for the past forty-eight hours. They may have affected my judgment and / or creativity and / or ability to tell if what I’m writing is any good or utter crap.
