Ficlets

You Have to Be Nice Sometimes (Nice Things Challenge)

If it’s one thing you learn after eight years of Catholic school, it’s how to be nice. You also learn other important things like lacrosse and how fish and bread like to multiply themselves at the drop of a hat. You only learn later that the Bible isn’t quite historically accurate, but that’s irrevelant.

First, Laine P. Grey, one of the most notable authors on this site. Her stories hint at a deeper meaning, and her descriptions bring everything to life.

Of course I must mention THX 0477 “the” author on Ficlets. His stories never cease to amaze, his flowing vocabulary makes his stories more eloquent and enjoyable than the most. And his comments never fail to make my day.

Stovohobo, whose humorous narratives and enthralling sci-fi series always keep the reader hooked.

Horrorfan13, whose mastery of suspense never fails to make any story just a bit more intriguing.

And to all the others who read, rate, and comment countless stories: thank you and may (insert deity of choice) bless you.

Haha, thank you! Although now I’ll have to live up to those words of praise.

Aww….thanks! THX is definitely one of the most prominent authors on this site, mostly because of his ability to not let a read story go uncommented – and, of course, his great writing.

I saw the first sentence of this one and just had to read the rest. The things I missed out on by going to public school where I learned the best defense is a good offense. And I now warrant a “the”? Oh, I am beyond flattered. Blushing and feeling all gushy inside over here. Somebody get me a tissue!

Very good way to open any story. I also liked the things you had to say.
