wc 154 after the battle

after the battle (<play it!)

“I demand a recount,” howled the fencing master to the moon-faced giant. Two men sit amidst sundry dismembered body parts;  The Turk cradles the wounded Spaniard, the Dread Pirate Roberts.

“Si, Fezzik, recuentame the gory details…”
“Of how you spilled Selkirk’s entrails?”

“And the queen, she is still in power?”
“Safely hidden in the Matzo Tower.”

“Fezzik, you’ve a way with the rhymes.”
“Then pay me in ducats and not with dimes….”

“It’s ok Inigo. I will take you to Miracle Max.
I will carry you, just relax”

“Bah Fezzik! Set me down! Your end is near my face.”

sometimes the prompts get out of hand. the previous week, there had been a 5 way tie, so we had to write a story incorporating: fencing master, matzo tower, i demand a recount, the end is near, and, howl at the moon. funny, everyone attacked the problem in a different way. some, like me, used all five in a 100 word story. others wrote 5 different stories, and others still picked only one topic. all were welcomed submissions, displaying humor and creativity.
