Toblerone's Drabbles

some micro short stories.

On my livejournal account I asked people to give me a line of dialogue or a sentence and I had to write a story around it. I wrote a series of short stories that range from being comical to serious to sappy (these last two genres being very un-me!). I might try the same thing here at JU later on.

The link to my stories are here: Link below are the story titles and the sentences I was supplied:

12 Steps to Valhalla

As the clattering sound of the shattering crash boomed its way through the corridor.....

The Love That Dare Not Bleat Its Name

'...you mean the goats are on heat?'

From the Ashes

"In my experience people don't handle things, they just harbour them until their docks are full...some people just have very large docks.'

Would Keep It Down Please, You’re Derailing My Train of Thought!

'She did what-now with who-now? And how does the sandwich fit into this?

Elmo’ Money

A disgruntled party store employee got out of his Elmo costume and...

Glancing blow

“I’ll be wearing your tattoo,”

Heh, heh...not bad, not bad at all. I think the goat one is my favorite, along with the tattoo one.

Good stuff, Toblerone.

Thanks Zoo. The goat one is my favourite too. It is the first one I wrote when I feeling the most creative.

I think the Thor story is my favourite.

Have you checked out the JU Writers Club yet? It has only just started but there are already some good pieces.

No, I might check that out. I like to get some practice. One of the main reason I did this thingy on JU was because at while at uni I don't have much time for creative pursuit. Now that I'm "free" I want to make the most of it before I go to work.

By the way I listened to your band (only one song so far). You sound very polished. I'll have to have another listen before I can make a proper assessment, I had to keep the volume down because I was listening when my parents had the news on.

Oh, thanks mate. If you want a copy of the disk, email me your address and I will send you one. It is only a demo but it still sounds pretty damned good, even if I do say so myself.
