Ficlets

The Willy Wonka Challenge

Well, just today I realized I have past 50 ficlets. Now, I know compared to mostly everyone else here, thats very little, but for me its a lot. When I first joined Ficlets, I never dreamed that I would have actually went over 50. I know there are a lot of challenges out but…

I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory over the weekend, and I haven’t seen that movie in years! You know when your really little and you watch that movie, you always thought that it was such a happy film. Well, I finally realized…Its not… Mr. Wonka, just like in the origonal book, is a slighty evil man, and I finally saw that.

So, I thought the challenge would be this:
Write a ficlet that when you first read it seems like a innocent story. But if you read it again, you see a much darker side to it all, just like the movie.

It can be as short or as long as you wish it to be!

I don’t think there will be any judging, unless someone wants there to be.

Lets put the cap on it for… July 27th! (My birthday!)

Wow, that is quite the challenge. Like the others here, I will have to submit it to my rumination queue, to see if anything pops up.

Interestingly difficult. Not sure how I’d be able to pull something like that off. I’ll have ponder this one to see if I’m up for the challenge.

Hey Summer… do you think you’ll be able to come to my party? my birthday is august 12th I don’t know when exactly the party is but it’s gonna be on a weekend. What do you think about inviting Aaron and Vann? If Vann will come… he’s got a girlfriend… Brooke. But Sierra and I think invitng Aaron and Sarah could be a problem… she doesn’t think Sarah should go… for reasons I do not need to display. ha ha. note me or comment on one of my stories.

Congrats on the ficlets milestone. And is my usual habit (read: dead horse to continually pummel), how many comments have you left in between writing those 50 ficlets?
