A what? A 'new post'? What?
I randomly wrote a thing for a 100-word fiction competition on bOING bOING. The theme was 'Found in Space". I chose literal over clever.
Here it is:
The Captain lay sprawled next to a blackened metal door wheezing and quietly bleeding to death. His right arm lay wedged between the wounded door and the bulkhead. An impressionist’s bright red bush stroke trailed from the captain's stomach down a polished ceramic hallway.
The Captain reflected on the last hour’s horror. They had expected to feel something new when they finally brought it on board but the wave of mad violence which overtook them caught them completely by surprise. “If only we hadn’t failed,” he thought.
The hope of the world faded with the light in the Captain’s eyes.
Its probably a bit crap. Maybe I'll start doing this sometimes?
"Non-Commital and Kinda Lazy; The Boxer the Horse Story".
