500 Words IXX - Story Time

In a fit of atypical seasonality, this week’s sentence was taken from one of Charles Dickens’ many delightful Christmas Books: The Chimes (A Goblin Story).

The sentence was:
‘A lamentable instance, Mr. Fish.’

Even more atypically, it seems only Old Dive (the man who hates Christmas) got into the festive groove this week.

Dive's 'A Christmas Karel'


Appalling title, I know, but hey ho.

I'll be posting another festive sentence tomorrow for the run-up to the day itself.
Bah, humbug to any who don't join in.


Oooh! Hey! Late addendum:
Todd has unleashed his extraordinarily creative imagination on this one and the result is:

Todd's 'Dreaming'


A truly beautiful and quite trippy journey across the universe using a form of transport that would make my commute a sheer joy.

Todd: you are never too late. What a wonderful story.

Cali: Thank you, though I'm not so sure people would really like a Christmas without the greed and hypocrisy.

Petrea: Hee hee hee! That is most extraordinarily funny. Thank you. I love the guns and ciggies.

I look to see glass-goldfish universal transport devices in next years sky-mall retailing for $229.95.

Hee hee. I would DEFINITELY buy one of those, Todd!
