Mainly, I needed an excuse to break out the Official Icon of the rest of 2012...

I offer a meme, taken from kate_elliot

Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story.

*goes back to the freelance, curious to see what challenges will come...*

Illegal immigrants from Heaven and Hell.

[lagilman]

They hadn't built the wall yet that could keep out a Heavenly Host, with or without papers , but that didn't stop the folks in Fort Hancock from tryin'.

The zombie apocalypse has come, and only red wine can stop them. Vintners are the heroes of the Human Renaissance.

[lagilman]

"Yknow, when they told me I'd be working the crush, this isn't what I envision- behind you!"

[jaylake.livejournal.com]

Hah! Well played. I may snurch this for my own blog soon.

What happened to the Sea of Wine?

[lagilman]

"Senator, are you seriously suggesting that we might be reduced to drinking beer, or worse - water?"

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

(And at least you're where there's GOOD tap water. I used to live in Northern Virginia, where the tap's chemical-tasting. VERY happy I'm in Portland with its tap water...almost as good as yours!)

the one about the best friend you never met...

[lagilman]

She drifts, too real to be mist, too vague for fog, through the hours of the night; her thoughts make us cry.

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Nice. Evocative.

[renesears.livejournal.com]

The one about the book of lost names.

[lagilman]

"Seriously, Mitchell, just shut up and keep digging."


(there was an entire paragraph before that, but the meme only calls for one sentence, sorry.)

[renesears.livejournal.com]

The one sentence is plenty awesome. :)

The shipment of wine that went missing between Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani.

[lagilman]

"It's not so much that I mind a judicious amount of shall we say - compensation for our hard-working excise patrol," Giovanni groused as the security locks gave a gentle hiss, indicating that the cargo was once again sealed, this time with an official Eridani imprint replacing the Tau Ceti one, "but did they have to choose that particular crate to 'liberate'?"


(a high number of folk picking wine-based prompts. Can't IMAGINE why....)

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

I slightly wanted to make it about "the Sea of Cheese," but assonance aside I realized that didn't make sense. There can never be a Sea of Cheese. A Sea of Cheese Sauce, at most...

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

Brilliant.

This meme is great.

The one about the rock musician who forgot to stop touring after he died.

[lagilman]

He follows me around during sound check, that's how I knew: if he was just some kind of hanger-on, a wannabe or a random haunt, he'd only come for the show.

Sorry not wine related

[william lawhorn (from livejournal.com)]

After recovering from freezing an army, the hero takes part in the invasion for his brother-in-law.

Re: Sorry not wine related

[lagilman]

He wrapped the blanket around his shoulders more securely, stared at the fortified wall, and said again, still sour, "I told you not to marry him."

The one where the animatronics at Disney World all come alive.

[lagilman]

"Oh, thank god Disney bought LucasFilm - helloooooo Han!"

[joe iriarte (from livejournal.com)]

*laugh*

[wood-dragon.livejournal.com]

The one where "knits up the ravelled sleave of care" is literal.

[lagilman]

In the dream, as always, he walked on a shattered, splintered boardwalk, the wind wrapped harsh around his neck and the sticky stiffness of salt in his hair, waiting for the moment when bones would knit his weary soul back into his flesh and allow him to wake once more, healed and whole, ready to fight once more.


hrmmm....

[wood-dragon.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! I'd read more of that.
