Title: Mind - A Dangerous Country
Word: execrable
Challenger: tulip_maria
Length: 200 words exactly The abuse had commenced ten minutes through the act and a legend arose that the comedian paused at one point, as if unsure whether or not to react. A smile was on her face though, as if she’d been expecting it

powerful. how do you do it by the way? these are all pretty awesome, where do the ideas come from?

I'm tempted to use Gary Larson's reply when asked a similar question: "I have a trunk in the attic labelled 'ideas'..." :)

Most of them are suggested to me by the title, but by me playing with it. Someone gave me the title "The Beast" once, and I remembered that the largest roller-coaster in one state or another (had to check it at the time) was known as "The Beast".

The story based on another title - MY WEASEL BETRAYED ME - came about because I'd recently read a piece in the newspaper about them retiring polar vehicles (used for getting around antartica), and they were nicknamed "Weasles".

Another one - COLD - came from the kids' game of hide and seek...

But glad you like 'em, anyway... :)

Most of them started "well, the stork came and..."
