I remember telling someone here about my fiction, but I don't know if it was you.
My pinnacle short story was called "Aufsagen Wiederholt." Loosely translated, that's "Repititions Recalled" or "To Repeat Repeatedly." The concept: in the year 2,344, people who tell lame jokes and repeat themselves often have been arrested, labeled enemies of the state, and deported to an island where a seperate society has been built for them.
I had another one called "The Perpetual Liar." In that one, we have two narrators telling their versions of the events. The first is a grocery store employee who was recently fired. The second is the manager who fired him. Each one's account is completely outlandish and overblown, making that narrator sound like an innocent and righteous do-gooder and the other character the evil, twisted villain.
This was out of the class, but I later wrote a small one called "Oliver Mitchellson Has a Dream," about a man who really, sincerely aspires to be an Oscar Mayer Wiener. He is so determined to find a way to transform himself into a hot dog, it becomes his destructive obsession, alienating his family and destroying his home life.
Of course, there are far more complex details to those stories, but that's the basic idea behind each one.
Cool :) You never told me.
First one is very unie. I like it.
Sound one sounds even more itneresting. Wold make a good comedy.
WOW. THe thid one about the Oscar Mayar. That sounds a mix of funny and heavy.
I have no idea what to name my novel yet. Just concentrating on the story.
