Another Tuesday and time for Kreative Kue by Keith Channing. If you wonder what’s going on here, let me have Keith explain. Just so you know I’m making his mouth move. “Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; and either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithkreates@channing.fr before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here – for reasons I have yet to fathom, pingbacks don’t seem to be working.
Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries, with links to your own blog or web site, next Monday.”

“Let me step back a bit and take a look.”
“Okay, but hurry up. This concrete is cold.”
“Ah, I see a problem.”
“What problem?”
“The outline has a protrusion to the right. You need to bring your leg up more.”
“Leg? Which leg?”
“Well, your right one of course. I would hurry I think the police will be back very shortly.”
“This was all your idea. Let’s lie down on the body outline you said. It will knock the fraternity brothers off their feet you said. Now you are being picky about a leg?”
“Okay, I’ll take the photo. By the way that ceremonial sword you are holding looks fake.”
“It’s supposed to look fake. It’s a joke for heaven’s sake. Who would be lying in the road with the Mystical Knights of the Sea sword sticking out of them anyway?”
“Yeah, but a little blood wouldn’t hurt and can’t you put that sword in such a way, so it doesn’t look like you are holding it?”
“No short of really sticking it in me I can’t.”
“Also, you left your keys on the mat there. That looks stupid.”
“Alright, I guess this was not such a good idea after all. Let’s go. I’m going to get up.”
“No don’t move I’ll take the shot.”
“Whoops. I slipped.”
“Hold still.”
“Do we have any more whiskey?”
“I don’t think so why?”
“I could use a drink of something.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I stuck myself with the sword.”
“OMG. Let me get a shot of that. Now that looks real.”
Friday is upon us with the fleetness of a gazelle. At least, it seems that way. For 
Wednesday Story day again. Last week we left Mrs. Worthe and Ben discussing how Ben could provide some collateral to ensure he would keep his mouth shut. Mrs. Worthe had initially offered up the idea of cutting off Ben’s right thumb. It appeared that she had another thought in mind and questioned Ben on his feelings for Alexis. Ben admitted that he valued Alexis’ relationship and since that is about the only thing he has Mrs. Worthe is about to offer him a deal.
