inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 15 October 2022, stock.
A suit bought million shares, feeling pumped,
But the bond market crashed and they slumped,
When they didn’t reflate,
He climbed Empire State,
Took a silent step forward, and jumped
Mister Bump 
Crikey…….

Right! Solid stories need drama and conflict. No one wants to read “happily ever after,” unless it’s at the end of a fairytale. 🥱

ever tried writing a fairytale? they are great fun. And… they need even more drama even than a regular story. Think Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, any of them! I believe some earlier Cinderella were very dark indeed before the story was Disneyfied.

Actually I have; it is quite fun. Dark drama, yes, then they live happily ever after. Till the sequel. 😏
