But perhaps an Internet Dibs Court could sort it out?<br /><br />On the other hand, if you and Rusty and/or both use any of those ideas, I'd give up my dibs. I'd like to see what you guys come up with to further them.<br /><br />But I will probably still use them. Remember, I have a long history of taking things Rusty says and turning them into stories. He's my Muse!<br /><br />(Don't feel left out: after all, you are my High Priest of the Cult Of Grammar.

Who's surprised?<br /><br />The drum major, realizing that although she could escape from the soldiers, she couldn't do it without killing all of them (and I'm going with the idea that she's a good guy), knows she has no way of helping the story teller... no way except one. She throws the hat into the abyss as the soldiers take her captive. As the hat falls, the beast escapes, and that is the speck, the huge form of the beast, the story teller sees, the beast falling.<br /><br />The beast, being some part (possibly insane part) of the story tellers psyche will not attack him, which is why it hasn't done anything to him thus far, but we're about to witness an epic battle between the beast and the giant spider.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-86631820074341893182013-09-20T11:53:43.527-04:002013-09-20T11:53:43.527-04:00Oh my... just chiming in here with possibilities.
...Oh my... just chiming in here with possibilities.<br /><br />1) The room has been pumped with an hallucinogen by the soldiers. Our hero(ine) is just trippin right now.<br /><br />2) Stephen King's headless corpse, reanimated, is seeking revenge for it's wrongful death, but since it can't see (sans head) it's just killing everything... including the giant spider that is about to eat our protag. I suppose it just fell in to the inter-dimensional hole earlier and no one noticed.<br /><br />3) Revelation: That nobel prize winning novel has become the most dangerous thing in the universe. All of creation... aliens (future time travelers), spiritual entities, normal people, are all after the author to pen the sequel, as it's promised to unlock even more profound secrets of the cosmos.<br /><br />4) Our main character just realized they are a character in a video game that has gained sentience. Which is why peace can't come until the game is over... but does that mean the apocalypse?<br /><br />5) The Nobel prize winning book also contains a blow torch taped to the inside flap (even the kindle version), which allows the reader to destroy giant spider webs... and create wormholes for escape. <br /><br />Okay, just throwing those out there... nothing is set in stone.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-60331783017290667662013-09-20T11:50:02.967-04:002013-09-20T11:50:02.967-04:00I'm all for the blow torch idea.
