Good work! :)

Clocks were made to be broken.

The closet was full of skeletons.

"Happy Halloween", read the mysterious gift.

Clowns were everywhere, all bearing knives.

Fire was everywhere. We were doomed.

I love the way Legolas says that :D

Clowns with knives? Sounds like one of those old B&W movies where someone's having a dream, and it's all kind of vague and shadowy. Sounds scary :D

You're hemmingways are all awesome, everyone! Keep up the good work! :D

Into the mirror, alien staring back.

Today: the day rabbits run free.

Books can keep you in suspense.

When the world dies, what next?

Helium plus breathe in equals hilarious!

Where did my chocolate bunny go?

Why's he crying? There's nothing wrong.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

The Internet won't let me sleep!
(This one's true, by the way)
Oops, there's another Hemingway!

Love at first sight? Not true.

The clock struck the 25th hour.

I love a good dragon stew!

But this stew bad for journeys.

Red was the village's bad color.
(Virtual cookie to anyone who knows where that came from :D )

Washed in Jordan River: leprosy gone.

That's all for tonight! Good night!

That was when the light came.

Who killed him? Did anyone care?

Thunder rolled. And so did heads.

I killed him. Or did I?

A victimless crime. Or was it?


Just a few.

A ploy left our rear vulnerable.

Two enemies crept into our camp.

We lost our stronghold; we scattered.

Floreí fell, the end of perfection.

Now...:cool:

Light-speed is just too slow.

Victory tasted a lot like defeat.

I mused. Then it hit me (*cough* *gasp* *choke* :P).

Mysterious screams. At night. My specialty.

The town was consumed with iniquity.


Woohoo! :dieshappy:

The wolves howled. Death crept close.

A shadow crept across the room.

A face peered in the window.

Great ones, Azyln! :D

Now...

Warning: May Explode Under Pressure. Oops.

Caution: Plants Bite. Have A G'Day.

Attention: Don't Feed the Sharks. Thanks.

The hero gave everything...For nothing?

Lunch. With a serial killer. Delightful.

Ah, strobe. How I love thee (*cough* Flashaholic alert *cough*).


Well, there's a few. Nothing spectacular, but perhaps I'll be able to post a few more before the night is out. :)

*is following orders...*

Following orders was what killed him.

He was a prisoner of himself.

Her sweet smile shattered his prison.

They'd never met; friend and enemy.

That second one is intriguing, twinnie. :cool:

*must write more of these*

Hibernation led to the humans downfall.

A pickaxe was my only weapon.

Darkness consumed more than our lantern.

A beast tracked me through labyrinths.

A final duel. We both lost.

And, yes, you must. :D

A note: "We poisoned the punch."

Behind the mask, there she was.

The old theater was supposedly haunted.

Birthday parties just got very deadly.

My friends all wanted me dead.


Eh, a few. :( Better than nothing. :D

That first one is excellent, Joel. :cool:

"Whatever happened to--?" *bang* "Never mind."

Our guide led us to cannibals.

Our last chance for survival: flashlights. ( ;) )

The end of the rope. Falling.


Not too good. :(

Not too good?! :o Those are EXCELLENT! :D

I WILL STROBE THEM TO DEATH!!! (A reference to me fighting off dragons. Me and Mark talking. Look it up. Chat log.)

Push the button, and everyone dies.

I had to regain the airplane.

Blam! Blam! Blam! KABOOM! Mission accomplished.

She was their ticket to amnesty.

The kidnappers' demands were bad news.

I only needed one good shot.


HEMINGWAY EPICNESS GALORE!!! :dieshappy: We must do this more often. :D

Very nice, everyone! :D So many new hemingways since I last checked! Anyway, here's a few of mine.

She was his only living hope.

I am hunted by something ruthless.

Two people. One dead, one dying.

On her deathbed, one word: goodbye.

Happiness could never be found. Ever.

Great ones, Azyln. :D

Now...

The bridge was about to snap (Have I done that one before? o.O).

Itsy-bitsy spiders just got bigger.

My enemies: evil, weapon-wielding gnomes.

Cats. Everywhere. What did they want?

Always carry multiple flashlights. They're handy.

The sacrifice was about to occur.


Alas! Would that I had more. But here are a few. And hopefully someone else will soon post, giving me an occasion to post more...:dieshappy:

That's an awesome one, Riniel! :D

Robots. They are just a machine.

The magical knife wasn't very magical.

Race car backwards spells race car.

The book opened, revealing terrible lies.

A finger stirred his uncertain brain.

Cowboy versus Spaceman; old versus new.

'Twas a little lightbulb that blinks!

The vermin stole all the food.

Finally, the forgotten toys felt loved.

Time was ticking. None stopping it.

His unserious threats were completely serious.

The man killed himself. Bad mistake.
