Story Virus - v5



OK I’ll play. Basically this little project is a chain letter for flashers. Break the chain and one thousand editors will send you simultaneous rejections.

I am a virgin at this and as it has been very eloquently explained elsewhere, I provide the explanatory links below - follow the sequence or you will get lost!

The story is getting too long to include in a single post, so I’ll just steer you to the previous threads and let those I tagged take it from there. You'll get to visit some cool blogs so it is worth a little effort.

Start here:

and the bastard that tagged me:

my short addition:

Blanco arrived at the cosmetologist for his foot bath, massage and clip of his cloppers only to find his toes had begun to take on a greenish hue. It was eerily similar to the giant Jenkin's blood and Blanco became obsessed with worry.

“What’ll I do? Can I be saved?” Blanco queried Arantxa, the chief toenailologist at the Poof Palace Spa and Beautification Centre.

The harder Arantxa scrubbed at Blanco’s feet, the deeper green they became. The pigment began to color first his legs, then arms and finally in a matter of minutes Blanco was completely verdant and glowing in total greenness.

“Me thinks you may want to change your name to Verde,” said Arantxa, not missing a beat continuing to clip away at Blanco’s toes.

  4. Short but sweet, and enough to carry it through. I often visit your blog, and just as often forget to leave comments, but as I wound up a link in this chain, how could I not this time?
    Love the sound of Arantxa's voice.
