Well that's 20 years wasted.. by `conorschild:iconconorschild:



Well, that's 20 years wasted. Bugger.


I had searched in the valleys of my mind and the forests of far off lands; climbed to the peaks of mountains of ice and fallen to the bottom of human condition in my quest.
       I had pushed my mind with intoxicants and chemicals and meditation; I sat by myself on the edge of a cliff for days on end.
       I yearned, searched and wandered on the fringes of consciousness to find what every man wanted; I hunted everywhere on earth for complete bliss and perfection.
       
       In the end it turned out that paradise was in between your bed sheets.

dA should make titles longer D:

*Beccalicious has being doing these short, 100 word stories that are really good, and I had the phrase "paradise is in between your bedsheets" stuck in my head for quite a well. Combining their forces, I am Captain Planet!

Or something.

This is exactly 100 words, a short story about searching everywhere for happiness and finding it in the most unexpected place.

I feel I made for the fagginess of the story with the humorous title. Ohoho, British wit.

I like it. :eyes: Really interesting that it's excatly 100 words. Maybe not hard to accomplish, but it's very well written and nicely compositioned, so it gets good grades in my book. :P

I leave books around my bed... They whisper their stories to me in my dreams.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea about my new avatar, the bird is dancing.
I'd have trouble writing something to be exactly 100 words. So congratulations, you've accomplished something that I probably never will/never would want to! =P it's a neat little story, and I like the title ;) yay brits! :highfive:

House: Wanna know what happened to the toilet?
Wilson: ...She'll be with you where you claim to not want her.
House: I smashed it with a sledgehammer.
Wilson: I think in some ancient cultures, that was actually considered a proposal of marriage.
Awesome. If a book started with that, I'd keep reading. :nod:
