Maybe not the best I ever wrote, but one of my favorites because of the series it spawned which I do consider one my best writing achievements to date.

This is my first time reading this one, and I never saw the series it birthed either. But it’s an interesting read and it prompts a lot of questions about Gordo and his pretty things, whatever (or whoever?) they are.

gar! ogre-man eat you!
This is very ominous, did i read this before? I don’t quite remember.. and the series either, but nevertheless, that is exactly what this challenge about, reviving the heart of a good tale lost. :)

I haven’t read the series this spawned, but this is definately slap-yo-momma good. It sets up some great cliffhangers.

I loved the line "Unfamiliar was likely pretty. "

I haven’t read the series this led into, but it sounds like this scenc could have been in “Of Mice and Men”

Ho dang! I remember this series!!! T’was most epic, and definitely some great writing!

I certainly remember this in all its major awesomeness. Certainly one of my favorite pieces to read on ficlets.

I remember this series. Definitely one of the best on Ficlets.

oh, i wish i had of read this series this birthed. i really want to know more about gordo and his pretty things.

Thanks for all the great feedback and nice words on this one. As much as I loved the series, there’s no way I could justify the self-indulgence of reposting it all here. If anyone really wants to see where it went, feel free to send a note.
