Hi Mikey

You steal the show as usual. Great fun story with a twist. Elvis holds the smoking gun. Poor bugger, can he ever rest? Fabulous presentation. Clever theme. Just one thing, had he eaten the lobster? All that chaos, and it hadn't even happened yet. Hahahaha! You don't lose it that's for sure. Congratulations on your win. I guess the others had no chance? Thanks for the laugh. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

    The lobster was definitely consumed at some point. There's crime and then there's CRIME! This was fun. I can always count on Elvis. The picture is of Andy Kaufman a comedian who everyone thought faked his death. He did a great Elvis impersonation. My little joke to well, myself. :)) mikey

LOL! I have missed a lot I've been writing too much and got waaayyyy behind on reading. Sure glad I found this now, and it's no wonder you won the contest. Elvis will never really die, will he? LOL! :)

    I'm just behind. You name it. You are writing some seriously great stuff. Wow, such variety.
    Glad you liked this. The picture is Andy Kaufman who everyone thought faked his own death. He did a killer Elvis impersonation. A little joke to amuse myself. Ha! Sorry to be so late in responding, but sadly it's better than I usually do, isn't it. :)) mikey

Excellent entry for the contest, I especially enjoyed the twist at the end. The funniest and most creative use of the words and the prompt. Well done and thank you for sharing your writing.

Blue font, a picture of an Elvis impersonator at the conclusion...this could be but one author, and I know it ain't me, Mikey... ha-ha!

While I have absolutely no clue what it's about (except that Shaq is featured as a rookie cop) , I'm sure someone out there in FanStory land will and you'll do very well in the contest.

    The Elvis impersonator is Andy Kaufman! There's a lot of people who swear he faked his death and is still alive. Thus the ending. An inside joke that probably stayed inside my room. Hahaha. Jeesh. I even left the box out this time. I'm soooo obvious ... whoever I am. :)))

Good job getting all the words in for this content. The story was pretty good but I am not sure what happened at the end. Good luck with the contest.

Interesting. I'm not really sure what is happening. I think it is a bit humor flash fiction, combined with police action. The Elvis part was unexpected.

Your story was successful in using all of the words and it was also successful in surprising the reader at the surprise sighting of good old - but very dead- Elvis.

You set up a really nice scene and have presented the text in an attractive fashion. All the words were used and seemed to make sense, although vinegar was a stretch. Nice job.
