@kevcvs57 saidAs it's really hot today, I'm going to agree with you.
Maybe not for your readers so much but certainly mine 🙁

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWow...I must mark that down on a calendar! How hot is it? We are around 24C but cloudy so doesn't seem so hot. I'm usually good untill it gets up around the 30C mark! 😉

Thank you for your comments, but I disagree.
Also, there's only room for one chef in this kitchen. 😉

@moonbus saidThank you for the compliment.
The Crayon: Excellent story, excellent idea. This would have made a very good episode of the original Twilight Zone tv show, and ranked among my favorites this year. For those not familiar with the name, Adolf Diekmann was a Nazi SS stormtrooper responsible for a massacre in a French village. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Diekmann
@ghost-of-a-duke saidLOL@ Silly ghost....Are you making sure everyone knows you have me on ignore? I am thinking they really don't care one way or the other!!! 😉

@kevcvs57 saidI agree, the word limit is part of the challenge. As we have seen in this and previous years, it is quite possible to compose publishable quality in 800 words.
I like the 800 word limit it compels you edit and word count and it’s part of the challenge. I’m sure it could be useful to add another sentence or two but there is also the risk of rambling.

@wolfgang59 saidSo my plan to make an extra 10 dollars a year from Kindle sales is probably not going to pan out before things go completely topsy-turvy.

@wolfgang59 saidThat sounds like something Hannibal Lector would say.

"I'm eating Al Fresco,....in a T-shirt."

@torunn saidI, of course, stole the best line to end of one my stories:
"I'm having an old friend for dinner..."
“Oh, I ate her liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
(Have spoken of this before, but Hannibal was actually making a medical joke with this line. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors were probably used to treat him, and what are the three things you're not allowed to eat while taking them? Liver, beans and wine. - As a psychiatrist, Lecter would have known this, so as well as making Clarice uncomfortable he was cracking a joke for his own amusement and hinting that he hasn't been taking his meds).

@very-rusty saidDo what?
The old friend isn't the main dish?.....I just had to do it!!! 😉
