Introduction
Come one, come all to the fantastically ridiculous and wonderfully bizarre world of N8tastrophe! If you’ve a hankering for a smorgasbord stocked heartily with home-spun yarns of dark and lighter fare, whimsical absurdities, amusingly twisted narratives and silly-yet-satisfying wordplay, you may have come to the right place. Either way, you’re here now, so you might as well get cozy.
Years of stories rushing through by way of dreamscapes, active imagining sessions, and involuntary mental dalliances on company time have always found a way of spilling out in an interesting fashion, especially when prompted by situations like this contest and its random subject queues. So, let’s see what happens when the bingo cage is shook around upside down and half of the balls are rattle snake eggs. You never know what’ll fall into your lap, but morbid curiosity will spurn you forward.
Sincerest offerings of good fortune to all participants in this little game. May you channel the greats, but not their hang-ups: like Poe and his drinking or Hemingway and his flatulence. May the words reach the page unabated and render pleasing experiences to the masses, or may whatever other kind of experience you wish to convey be expressed without a stutter. No doubt this shall be a spirited endeavor, and to the victor go the bragging rights.
So, without further ado. The featured presentations approach. Buckle up and grab a mouthpiece, because it’s bound to get bumpy, but in a way that’s oooohh sooo smooth.
Enjoy.
