SHORT STORY WRITERS CONTEST for April 2019 - "SNEAKING SUSPICIONS" [SS2019]

a reply to: chris_stibrany

ow! That's not good.
As my years have advanced... I've taken to lesser (lighter) instruments now... and am currently playing rhythm guitar and singing with a new band. My drumming is limited to knocking seven colours of "something" out of my Cajon when under the affluence of incohol at various camp-fire gatherings and wee festivals!!

Heya Gordi- I've seen quite a few disparaging comments yet it seems none will take the stand so ill go ahead and ask: whats the deal with the 50 word count? It seems like you're trying to fit into some "Too Long, Didn't Read" culture thing, which is a tad ridiculous. I get that you want to make things challenging for us but I am not quite sure that brevity is the way to go... In all of the entries I have read so far, they each seem Crippled by the word limit, as our writers find themselves having to snip off essential bits to fit in the barest minimum of a concept. Its very frustrating, reading all these great entries that could have been so much more without such an arbitrary rule.

My entry - writer.
