Thank you for reading my madness. I was going to enter in October's contest, but ran out of time. The prompts can be challenging to integrate depending on where your mind is at.

Yes! I’ve began to write a few, and then I’m interrupted by my own writing schedule, and I don’t complete it. Lol! I am impressed by anyone who finishes the challenge! Congratulations! 🥳

The Bone Writer cranked this out almost instantly. It’s really good, he used a majority of the prompts.

Holy Cats! That's one intense story. I'm almost afraid to ask, but how much of that is fiction? I say that because it seems personal, almost as if you were there. It sure put ME 'there'. You're very gifted.

Where did that Humanzee figure icon you use come from? It looks like Inca sculpture or something. The only thing that I recall that is similar was in that 1980's movie 'Tron' (I must confess to loving it) towards the very end, the evil thing in the mainframe had a similar appearance. I haven't seen it in ages, but it made me think of it.

Thanks for reading - I just get an idea an run with it. Sort of write what I see in my mind. The Humanzee mask is from the movie Zardoz, 1974 (?). The music in the video is from a Burt Reynolds show from ABC in the late 60s called Dan August.

I've always liked the idea of the 70s shows like Kung Fu where Caine shows up, ends up reluctantly helps people, or the Incredible Hulk. You know where Dr Banner is hitchiking out of town at the end.

Yes, I did watch Kung Fu, thought it was the best thing on the boob at the time. I learned a couple weeks ago that Carradine died under bizarre circumstances!

David was my friend. I saw him about a month before he left for Thailand. His family believes it was murder. I agree. He picked the wrong date. 😬

I am sorry for your loss of a friend. The circumstances must have been really hard for friends and family.

That was years ago, and I attended his memorial which was just beautiful because his family was musical and magical. Following was a private dinner at Stacy Keach’s home. No one believes the press account.

Thank you for the reply. As someone who has eschewed T.V., movies and most corporate news since about the 80's, this all came as a shock I had no idea about his career. Seems success and money can lead many a soul to a dark place.
