Announcing our Elements competition

Quote by sprite

scrap them both and write a third one

That's sort of what happened. I rewrote one to incorporate some of the feel of the other. They were very close to start with. It was literally just the last paragraph or so, the "punchline" so to speak, that was different.

According to "science" if you stick both endings in a box, they'll coexist simultaneously as some kind of super-ending. Problem solved... As long as you never, ever, ever, open the box.

So the story ends with a dead cat?

So the story ends with a dead cat?

Or a live one.

No, it’s fucking dead, because you “never, ever, ever” opened the box to feed it.

Ah, but are you sure there even is a cat? Remember, no observation no reality. All possibilities are possible. No purpose on buying cat food for a non-existant cat.

Stop the dead cat chatter, peeps! You’re upsetting my Butters! Mew

My story seems to be Schrodinger's story. I don't know if it exists until I open the file.

But, yeah, don't upset Butters. She's probably one of the judges.😸

If so, Butters has impeccable taste in which stories are deserving. Now, what is her favorite cat food again?

Salmon.

Salmon.

Looks like it's time to go fishing for her bribe. Oops, meant her Salmon.

I'd like to take this opportunity to plug an older story of mine, Go For A Soda: September 5, 1987, in which Cassie wonders about the identity of her biological grandfather...

Mamó’s diary said that both Harvey and Grampa Lloyd came inside her that night.

Was she a Davenport? Was she a Campbell?

If she didn’t know for sure, was she simultaneously both?

“Ugh,” she complained out loud. “I’m like Schrödinger’s cat, because we can’t peek inside my grandmother’s box!”

And the ape is in! Fire is my element (as I already suggested before) so come on in and get ... warmed up. 😉

In my que. Looking forward to it, hoping I don't get burned from the intensity of the conflagration.

No humans were harmed in the writing of this story. I won't speak to property damage, though. 😉
