I had to write a sequel to the best worst ficlet ever done. I mean, I hope THX 0477 didn’t get to upset by BfE’s sequel, because that 15-word sequel is so bad it goes all the way around the track and becomes awesome at the lap marker. Seriously.

I’m just confused because I thought it was established that Malcom was dead (unless he’s _un_dead?). But as always, wonderful descriptions. Love the T-Rex arms.

It’s not really in the same continuity as the great piece THX0477 wrote that “started” this: it’s more of a sequel to BfE’s edwoodian masterpiece.
So, yes, it contradicts THX ’s work, but only because of the specialness of the one-sentence short that was the real inspiration for this. THX ’s story is good and stands on its own. BfE’s piece demands elaboration. Why does the fat man seek Malcolm? Who does the girlfriend belong to? Why are we here? Does God exist? What is the meaning of life?

“Does God exist” was totally a ? tht entered my mind after reading BfE’s sentence [not really.]
anywhoways, very nice job!

Howie, you rock. Leave it to you to find the value in that little one sentence sequel. I wasn’t upset about it, just confused why someone would write one sentence and hit the ‘Publish’ button. You know me, always pondering human nature. And kudos for violating time, space, and life to fit a sequel. Dead? Undead? Was dead? It doesn’t matter. It’s ficlets, baby.

Howie, You do rock. I will throne that honor with pride. And one day, when someone comes along and posts the next best worst ficlet of all time. I will pass that honor. But until then, cheers!
