You mean the sci-fi short story I recommended ages ago? Yeah, I'm a big fan of the sentient spaceship "genre." You'd be surprised how much material there is on it.

I wish they had a big sign for that in Barnes & Nobles.

"Fiction" "Non-Fiction" "Reference" "Children" "Sentient Spaceships".

Better luck next time; don't worry so much.

Sorry Agro! >.> 64 words (not including the title) and -1 point.

Really liked this idea and the outcome of the story. It was this or a shooting but I liked this more. I'd been incubating it since the announcement of the topic. I knew exactly what I wanted to do just wasn't sure how to do it.

Cat exploded? Make good art!

But it was fun. Everything in that story has a thread of truth. Mardi Gras 1984.

I'm not sure that having an idea of something to write and then spitting it out in 45 minutes qualifies as an 'entry.' Its more like its Friday afternoon and I have been dwelling on the past too much lately. Its more like therapy.

Oh 0/2 for grammar. There I graded that part. I'm glad I got that out of the way.
