60 word story
July 19th 2006 -
Pan in 60 started it and Madbull turned it into a meme. It’s one in which you create a story in sixty words or less, and I’ve decided to take a shot at it. This is the first meme I’ve participated in, and I sort of feel like I’m finally one of the cool kids. Plus it’s an interesting diversion. I’m a lover of sci-fi, so my story will reflect it. Here goes.
Progeny
“She entered the room, eager to learn the secrets of her past. She was adopted, and desperately searching for her parents. She hoped to find answers here. Inside she found large tubes and some files. She read several of them until she found hers. She then realized the awful truth. She was but a clone, part of an experiment.”
Is this Pulitzer Prize material or what?

Quite nice, Leon… also, it could serve as the jump off point for a sci-fi novel, or even the end point, but you would have to spice it up and draw it out some for it to be the endpoint…

Another person very similar to me in the way of thinking. Heck, your blog is even like mine, already you have a twilight zone reference, a stance on something in your country, and even the divinity of superman. (which btw is a correct comparison to jesus since superman was created by two jewish men around the second world war who lived in america and were going for the values of that time)
I don’t think I will do the whole lets become friends thing and will you read my blog too thing because it looks like you have many friends and it is always a hassel to try to put all of my stuff in a short explanation unless you were there at the beginning.
So I won’t say that much about myself other than we are alike in many ways. If you are interested visit my info category and scroll down for the Retro Reaper post for links to my best stuff.
However, if you do read my blog I will read yours and give ya a link. I’ll rate your blog too.
