View Full Version : Story: 'The Anthropomorphiory Incident.' Sir_Nigel 24-07-2006, 11:56 A tale of what happens when madness, genius and obsessiveness meets novelty leisurewear. Based on a true story... This is: The Anthropomorhiary Incident. (http://sheffieldwriters.ath.cx/SFStoryArchive/1154005875.doc) :suspect: taxman 24-07-2006, 16:37 A bizarre cross between Robert Rankin and Jasper Fforde Very Good Jabberwocky 24-07-2006, 19:37 Yet another brilliant piece of work. The standard is very high in this section of the forum, and the idea of a book of stories springs to mind. 42fta 26-07-2006, 06:53 A tale of what happens when madness, genius and obsessiveness meets novelty leisurewear. With an intro like that, how can it fail? :hihi: I like this one, made me laugh, though you may have stoppped me from going to a chinese restaurant for a while.......... shoeshine 26-07-2006, 21:25 I've not read this one yet Sir_Nigel.......but I promise I will tomorrow........I have to have something to look forward to, don't I? :thumbsup: Comments then.......:) tess667 26-07-2006, 21:26 the idea of a book of stories springs to mind. great idea, perhaps we could all contribute one compile a small paperback type, sell it and all money goes to charity?? shoeshine 27-07-2006, 17:59 Sir_Nigel, I have read it today, as promised. What can I say without going "over the top"? Simply magnificent. A real "star" in the making!. It's innovative, beautifully written and just the right length.....it leaves me wanting more of the same. I can assure everyone reading this that I am not just gushing like a member of the "false" luvvies of the literati classes. TwoFour 04-08-2006, 18:56 Very enjoyable, funny and easy to read. pattricia 04-08-2006, 22:35 Very humerous,especially the part about the waitress,and a gun in your pocket.Very quick moving and interesting to read. shoeshine 04-08-2006, 22:51 Note: Some posts slightly edited to reflect the new user-name of the Member. Mantaspook 19-08-2006, 22:53 Well, I’ve read that story several times now and I can only conclude that the author is emulating William Burrough’s opiate technique when he wrote ‘Naked Lunch’ As an experiment I may read it when NOT sober to see if it makes sense then :) A question that springs to mind and I’m surprised no one has already asked this: How on earth can it be based on a true story? An explanation is in order Sir_Nigel! |
