An Exercise in Absurdity

This is a writing exercise. But a fun one. And one totally made up by me.


You are stranded on a deserted island. Think Treasure Island, Lost, Gulliver's Travels, Five on a Treasure Island or whatever floats your boat. You can be on your own, with a group of friends or a loyal monkey. It doesn't matter, you get to make it up. BUT you have to include at least three of the following characteristics:

• A cave complete with treasure chests and chained skeletons.
• Zombies.
• A super-villain's secret lair. (Volcano optional)
• A shipwreck.
• A castle.
• A native tribe who collect shrunken heads.
• Robot monkeys.
• Alligators/Crocodiles which have evolved to have wings. (It could happen)
• Pirates.
• A haunted burial ground.
• Amelia Earhart.
• A crashed spaceship (with or without aliens)

Sounds like an awesome story already, right? So get writing. I will also write a story and post it on here later. If you guys wanna send me your stories let me know in the comment box below and I'll give you my email address. 

Happy writing

Finally, My Name in Lights!

Well, in size twelve Times New Roman at least. Seems like they were fresh out of halogen lights at the time of print. Still, I WON! I totally won! *dances around room with glee* And, my other story on the website has 98 likes, which makes it the most popular story on there.


So, THANK YOU. You guys are totally awesome. If you have any feedback, or any ideas about what you think I should write, please let me know.


But, I'm getting off topic. You can read my winning story here. If you enjoy it click the little blue heart at the bottom. If you don't enjoy it then I'm afraid we can't be friends. Again, please let me know what you think. Also, please read the other stories on the website if you have the time. 


You can  download an anthology of the Five Stop Stories here for only £2.05. (A bargain, yes?) This includes my earlier story and many other fantastic tales. (At this point I feel obliged to say that I do not like Kindles. I'm a bookseller, and booksellers and Kindles are not compatible. A bookseller promoting a Kindle would be like an environmentalist driving a 4x4; wrong on so many levels.) But, if you do have a *cough* Kindle, please do download the anthology.


Anyways, I promise to be back soon.


Thanks for reading.
