CLASSIFED: TOP SECRET
Failed Investigation
Buzz, the buzzer buzzed!
Under the spell of the questionnaire or so we thought, but it jumped., grabbing her by the throat, blood spurted everywhere.
Zapped by a taser, no affect?
Zapped again, still standing, and now the questionnaire was decapitated.
Twice, with no effect. panic ensued
Once should of put it down
Beaten, security called for help, armed guards arrived within seconds.
Agonisingly the alien submitted, it was then manually restrained..
Next, in anticipation of further trouble it was restrained. with three sets of handcuffs.
Grinning, nodded its head ten times, looked up, then disappeared with a bang!

CLASSIFED: TOP SECRET: 99 Word Flash Fiction: Sound
My apologies to Irene Waters.
Irene,
Hi, I genuinely thought you were hosting this challenge and used your title words as the prompts. I did however not use them for my title, just in the acrostic format of my entry. I did use them when submitting my entry in the pingback, an idiosyncrasy of mine as an indicator as which of challenges it is. I don’t think I have fallen foul of plagiarism, seriously hope I haven’t! Have changed my pingback accordingly, hope you find this in order. Seriously a genuine mistake.

Not a problem Mick. Loved your use of buzz and bang. I think you fitted Charli’s prompt perfectly (and mine as well 😄 )

Thanks for the welcome Charli, Irene, she definitely did that, I was so worried that might of upset her, but in the end she was very nice about it. Been busy on the Elfje trail, but will be visiting the/your ranch soon. 🙂

We all are inspired by one another in some way, so it’s good we can be supportive in our writing. You both made something new of the buzz to bang!

I’ve been catching up on return visits from May – yes I am that far behind. I’d rather write… but it is only respectable to read others too. 🙂
I’ll check in on that link soon. I’m taking a break.

I often do acrostics based on daily prompts and very much admire yours here – especially the way it develops a story. I like a story poem.

I do a few
Dedicated to trying all form of poetry
Often failing, but I’ll keep trying
To Japanese styles addicted
Of acrostics too, an infliction
Onto my latest form the Elfje 5 lines long each line follows a word count as in 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, total words eleven.

Terrific acrostic, Mick! I always believe the poets among us take on an extra constraint and yet such fantastic results. What an action packed flash. I hope you enjoy seeing it in the compilation at the ranch tomorrow (Pages of Sound). One of my favorite parts to the challenge is arranging each piece into a collection. It’s surprisingly dark and wild this week.
