Tuesday May 18, 2010 writing contest

I am going to enter my first writing contest sponsored by http://stiryourtea.blogspot.com/ I thought it would be fun and challenging and it was. It’s a beginning of a story that I came up with completely on a whim. It was challenging because I tend to write adult themed stories filled with sex, drugs and serial killers but not with this piece. Nope, I wrote about a Johnny Do Good and I got extra points for using the following words esophagus, pterodactyl, arrowhead and laptop. It was a fun little project that exercised the mind. I might have to enter more contest who knows maybe one day I’ll win something down the road.

Johnny Do Good was his name and he rode his Segway through the esophagus of the Mall like a biker rides his Harley to Sturgis. Johnny named his electronic beast after his favorite dinosaur the Pterodactyl a fast and furious monster that commanded the ancient skies. Johnny was a free spirit but a man of determination and purpose. When he wasn’t reading his Batman comic books he was known to frequent his seconded home the Arrowhead Mall. Johnny felt a sense fraternal brotherhood with the other mall security personnel a bond that was evident by they way they choose to wear their Mountie hats. The hats conveyed a sense of adventure and attitude a small group of elite mall security officers giving directions and upholding mall policies. Risking life and limb, armed only with a laptop and a smile Johnny would saddle his beloved Pterodactyl and ride the beast down the darken services corridors were employees were known to roam. This is a bold story of a modern day hero, his Pterodactyl and the epic battle of good and evil.
