Lord of the Flies
Fly-by Dialogue Only Entry31 total reviews
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Too funny. Flies are gross. We never had fly paper, just fly swatters. There were dairies and horses where I grew up so we had plenty of flies. Poor Goose doesn't know he will only live about a month anyway. Sad, just like Goose getting shot down in Top Gun. =] Hope you do well in the contest.

I mixed flies with Top Gun and this is why I came up with. My sense of humor is out there somewhere. Thank you for the wonderful review, dear Rox. Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Cindy Warren
Getting unstuck from flypaper would indeed be cause for celebration. I've never seen one get loose. Hope he won't be dumb enough to get stuck again when he brings his buddy's takeout. LOL Good luck in the contest. I think you may have a winner.

POV of flies--brilliant. Delightful whimsy--witty banter between the two, rife with graphic imagery, some gag-worthy, some delectable. Clever punchline!

Some gag-worthy, is right. And I come by it honestly. I have all boys. I have a large library of these things at my disposal at all times. I pulled from my plethora of gags today. I'm so glad you enjoyed this and I really appreciate the wonderful review. Sending along my best as always, Sally XOs....

What a breath of fresh air. I love it when a writer has a sense of humor and isn't afraid to use the vernacular. Who in the world would have thought about a conversation between two flies?? You?
Congratulations.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
I had to laugh while reading this. Where I used to teach in manure spread farmland, with no screens on the 7 foot glass sliding windows, there was no option but to use fly paper. Disgusting!! So now I'm getting the flies' perspective. How quaint. This was very funny. I'll vote for this when I see where it is. I should be pretty easy to remember the name.

Comment from Ulla
Yikes, how utterly disgusting is this, Sally, LOL. I've been put off for life to eat anything a fly has landed on. hehe, I would be thin as a stick. In autumn and early winter flies are a real problem where I live. I loved your dialogue only entry. Good luck. Ulla:)))

Thank you very much for the wonderful review and kind comments. This is prompted by the recent visit by all my sons, and the watching of Top Gun. I came by this honestly. Sending my best today as always and many thanks for your review,

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is hilarious! I sure wish I had an imagination like yours, Sally. "picture this, Maverick. You and me on a mountain of brownies, smothered in warm chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry on top." I can picture it! then the ending when Maverick is still stuck and Goose says, "No problem. Takeout... it is! FYI the quotation mark is missing at the end.

Thank you for the wonderful review and kind comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Per the contest, when the entire story is nothing but a dialogue, no quotation marks are used. It makes it easier for everyone and cleaner, too. Sending you my best today as always,

Sorry, Sally I confused myself with my own quoting from your work! duh! But I hadn't noticed that no quotes were used at all, something I didn't know about this type of writing contest. Thanks for enlightening me.
