A man dared his friend to count to exactly one hundred without stopping for £10... His friend laughed and said, “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty...” Then the man randomly sneezed, most likely due to the pepper blown in his face and lost the dare. Losing his pride too, he went home a defeated man. Awesome. Cheating or not, pretty creative.

I love your new one, 4am (Kate, right? I get confused sometimes.) And yay for using our stories ---- Hahaha, there was a whole other page that I missed. I'm completely fine with it. xD Just maybe put a link to the blog that inspired it, I left a comment with the links. I think you can decide if you need to or not, I'm not sure! And Peter's is funny, but I think he cheated. I'm going to remember him as a cheater until he posts a different one. Sorry I didn't see this sooner! You should just usually assume I'm ok with anything you wanna do regarding my stuff and you guys. <3 Yes, I have several names going on here...4amWriter, limebirdkate, Kate. I'll answer to all of them at once for a cookie.

jfb57.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/100-word-challenge-for-grown-ups-week23/Week 23 is up if anyone wants to take part. I'm not sure if I can! I don't do tunes well! (Nor do I know any holiday songs ) ---- And here's a new 100 word or less I wrote (81 words xD) The glossy lake frozen over with ice seemed safe. It melted beneath our feet. We didn’t know; how could we? If only we’d known, we could have saved ourselves. Then we heard the crack and it was too late. I just wanted to warn you about the ice. The ice you’re standing on right now. Well, the ice you were standing on. BREAKING NEWS: LAKE CLAIMS LIVES OF MORE TEENAGERS THIS YEAR LAND OWNER POSTS NO TRESSPASSING SIGN—IS IT ENOUGH?
Oh gosh, now I'm feeling the pressure!! I like this latest one, it's kinda on the poetic side.

Haha!! Thanks everyone! I wrote another to make up for it, whether it's any good or not though, remains to be seen... --- Laying there, motionless, breathing heavily, the flashing lights almost blinding him, the panicked screams almost deafening him. He watched as people scrambled to get away, oh how he envied them. How could a day that started out so well end in such disaster? How was he going to explain this one? I suppose he didn't really have to. Looking down at his exposed chest, blood pumping from where the bullet perforated him, each breath he took got shorter, and shorter until there was no more breathing. The screams and lights soon faded, and at last, he felt nothing but peace.

I think you redeemed yourself. Haha! ;D

Oooh you're all too kind Prelude: He promised his wife he wasn't going to work tonight, tonight was their 10 year wedding anniversary. She hated him working the streets, but he said he'd be cutting back his hours. I got an armed robbery call and there he was, with me, we've been partners for 15 years. We're like brothers so he definitely wasn't going to let me go alone. I probably should have tried harder to make him go to his wife, oh she is definitely going to hate me. We arrived and the moment we stepped out of the car, bang. My best friend fell.

Challenge accepted. Made me think, darn you! LOL
There was once a knife in a gift shop with a dragon handle, but no edge on his blade. The dragon was very sad because his blade had never been sharpened. He just knew nobody would ever buy him in his current state. At night he cried from loneliness thinking he’d be on the display forever.
Months passed and the dragon lost hope. His friends had all found new homes. Finally a woman fell in love with the dragon and brought him home for her husband. He displays the knife proudly on a shelf with its sharp new edge gleaming brightly.

Really different! Aww I felt really sorry for the knife, haha. Great job.

I particularly liked it because it has a poetic quality to it, I could see you turning it into an actual poem frankly. Nice job! limebirdkate
