10 Words Competition

Written for: http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/10-Words-I-Give/53840/

They called him Rooster. And only he was stupid enough not to realise that they called him Rooster because was because he was a c**k. A rude, arrogant c**k. But Rooster had money. And you know as surely as it says in the holy book, the rich man hath many friends. Especially if the rich man throws his money around. (It doesn't actually say that last bit, but it's still true). Either rooster knew this instinctively or he just loved throwing parties. Because he did, a lot. And he would always serve caviar and pineapple jelly. It was an odd combination but rich people are generally eccentric, so you or I wouldn't give it more than a thought. If you're a reporter for a tabloid however, you don't need dirt. Just the smell of dust will do. There were all sorts of theories to justify Roosters odd tastes. They ranged from spiritual healing to madness from calcium poisoning. However special note must go to a reporter named Crater who wrote up a brilliant article with passion and fervour. He claimed he knew exactly why Rooster always served caviar and pineapple jelly. His article was titled, "Rooster is Sponge Bob Reincarnated!"

I'm going to have to pace myself reading your stuff - this is hilarious and made me chuckle. Did you give yourself the 10 words or were they given to you?

[Stan Lee]

Thanks for your read and review Mike. Super glad I could make you chuckle! The 10 words are given as part of the "10 Words I Give" contest. The url for it is in the little quotey bit under the title. I definitely recommend you to check out the contests on this site if you're ever running dry on inspiration. :)

[Mike]

Ah! That is great and I certainly will check out the contest.

Another wacky romp through your imagination. Great stuff.

Thanks Chip :)

All ten words are present and presented in a wacky humor that comes from one's imagination, which is the whole idea behind this 10 Words I Give contest and I am glad that you gave it a shot. It's not easy I know, but that's the challenge. To reach deep into your imagination and pull the rabbit out of the hat, so to speak. "Rooster is Sponge Bob Reincarnated!" Excellent. Thank you for taking this weeks challenge. Well done!

[Stan Lee]

[Stan Lee]

Damn. Every time I see one of these writes, I wonder how the flippin' flip you even begin to turn it into a story. Initiating impressed mode in 5, 4, 3.... :)

[Stan Lee]

Thank Nemo. Glad I managed to impress someone ;) It's a pretty puny excuse for a story but hey, it has the ten words in (:

[Lorry]

It would take me a month of thinking about writing it,before I came to the conclusion that I still have no idea how to begin. So yeah, getting the ten is impressive :)
