Write the story from an unusual perspective, such as:
1. An aliens view of a war with humanity.
2. A foxes view of being hunted
3 A tree being chopped down
4. The iceberg falling from the Antarctic/Arctic
5. The fire works final journey...

I'm sure there would be a stack of other options.
1. Travel 2000 light years. Fire ray gun. The end.
2.Pant pant, rip tear, poor old foxy.
3.Timber
4.Crack ! Melt.
5.A damp squib.

Good stuff! Hemingway would be proud.
It's good to see that clever minimalism is alive and well at RHP.

Indeed.

Mine is more wishy-washy. 'Positivity.'

😀

I just like the idea of sitting down and reading a dozen positive stories from the great writers we have here.
You're right.
It's better to side with positivity.
At this time, doing the wishy-wash is better than creating dirty laundry. 🙂

However, I shall preserve my right to objective reality.

Mmh I see some difficulties with this thread...the vote on length which is quite well visited is now somewhere in the middle, as soon as we start the next voting it will be somewhere in the obscure beginning... The post in which I try to set up and explain the voting may suffer the same fate. So I wil try to have a reminder now and then.


The voting on length can be found here:
