bigstock-Mad-Scientist-With-Dangerous-F-6022700I’m not sure what it is about Creative Copy Challenge (CCC) that brings out the dark side of my creative writing.

It’s a good thing it stays there.

If you don’t know, CCC is a word prompt site that helps keep the creative juices flowing.

I love it.

The following is my latest entry of dark fun over at CCC.

Creative Copy Challenge #332

The words in Bold are the challenge words you need to use in some creative form.

=======================

In a hubris haze of eugenics gone wild, a scientist leers at a road less traveled. His personal roster of perfection stares back through the eye of an entrepreneur with a noose around a village of idiots.

Years, so many years in unlocking the intricacies of the human brain. His own genius mapping his course through countless experiments and endless testing with a roller coaster ride through discovery and despair.

Along an oak shelf sits his failures in Linotype precision, reminding him how far he has come. Lifeless forms floating in formaldehyde ruin, whispering their secrets in kindergarten fashion as they wait for salvation and all that is unknown.

Live…Laugh…Love

Shouldn’t Technology Mean Better Communication?

April 25, 2013

In ancient times (back when I was an early teen), we had our own cliques. The Racks With their black eyeliner and beehive hairdos. The Greasers Who channeled Elvis long before Vegas. The In Crowd Doesn’t every generation have one? The Hippies and Flower Children came later. Me? I was into sports, so I didn’t think I [...]

Boston You Are Us

April 17, 2013

We all have challenges in life. Those times when we question how we will go on. But, we survive. And some of us celebrate strength by testing our bodies and spirit in our own personal challenge.

Where Fools Tread Lightly

March 28, 2013

I’m not quite sure what it says about us that April Fools’ Day has been around for centuries. Although we may not agree on the name itself – April Fools’, April’s Fools or All Fools’ Day, we do love our tradition. And no person enjoyed the day more than my mother. A Simple Approach There [...]
