The Confabulators are back doing what we love to do this week: telling stories. This time the challenge was to use a first line and last line devised by the Editorial Board of the Cafe. The Board consulted the Story Oracles, ran those suggestions through the Plot Device and then threw darts at the revised suggestions until they got the best lines.
There was liquor involved. And blindfolds. And Godzilla. (You don’t want to know the details.) In the end, it came down to this:
The first line that all of our writers must use is: “I think I got everyone.”
And the last line is: “This is better than anything.”
We’re pulling shots like crazy here at the Cafe, downing highly caffeinated drinks and consuming inordinate amounts of sugar. Don’t be surprised if we excite, thrill or devastate you with our tales. Be sure to go back and check out all our flash fiction here, too.
The coffee’s hot and the stories are ready to go. Pull up a chair and settle in. We’ll do our best to entertain you.
