This week's sentence was from George Eliot's 'Middlemarch'
It was:
'I suppose it would be unprofessional,' said Rosamond, dimpling.
I had expected something in the bodice-ripping, historical romance line, but I should have known better with your feverish and - let's face it - totally outrageous imaginations.
Dear readers, you are in for a couple of treats this week. Both Lulu and Vanda have rendered me speechless with admiration and in quite severe pain from laughing too much.
Go on: brew up a coffee and settle in to a comfy chair for a good read.
Enjoy!
Lulu's 'Knowledge'
Woah!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Holy moly. This is eye-poppingly, jaw-droppingly wonderful.
Where else but '500 Words' could you find a sultry mélange of steamy erotica, film noir, space aliens and Godzilla?
Hysterically funny and astonishingly inventive storytelling from the quite startling imagination of our Lulu.
More, please!
Vanda's 'Lessons'
And my, oh, my, the hilarity continues in Vanda's gloriously outrageous tale of Rosamond's schooldays.
Harry Potter, eat your heart out!
Hermione Granger? Pah!
Vanda, may I please place my order for a first edition of what will surely become the next monster, blockbuster book and movie franchise?
Pure genius!
Last, and definitely least this week:
Dive's ' Incense And Insensibility'
… in which I succumb to the obvious, don my empire line frock and giggle behind my fan.
Ooh! Ooh!
We've got another story rushing in just before the deadline.
Prudence's 'When Things Went Sideways'
Ooooooh! Something (actually Prudence herself) tells me that this may be (or may not be) a non-fiction piece.
Either way it continues Lulu's theme of erotically charged rampant writing.
Excellent, grin-inducing stuff, Pru.

Yay, Prudence! I think you will enjoy Lulu's and Vanda's tales this week. I am still giggling.
I enjoyed all of them. I hope I will have more time to indulge in writing. I miss it. This week seems to have a similar theme, especially for us women! Mine however, may or may not be fictional!
Details, Pru! DETAILS!
Hee hee. If indeed this is non-fiction I do hope it works out just fine. Enjoy!
Funny that! I'm still waiting for the ending myself! It has yet to be written.
I'm a sucker for happy endings myself.
I actually had this Godzilla lighter. Lost it somewhere along the way, but it was a classic.

Great stories everyone! I printed them all out and read them on my train trip home tonight. Yes, I made sure no one was looking over my shoulder!
Woah, Lulu! That is a truly wonderful work of art. I want one!
Katie: Hee hee. I can imgine how much fun reading about 'manhood' on the train might be.
