What can I say? I think the Boss Kellogg had the right idea of giving Wilson the job of branding milk cows in Alaska! He might do a better job! LOL. Fun story, and you managed to use all the words the contest required. I don't think I could have done it better! Well done. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from F. Wehr3
I really liked the story, but I found one big spag. Overall, very well done. Please consider the following.
'At a meeting with the president and senior vice president of a cereal company in Battle Creek, Michigan.' This is not a sentence. It is four prepositions linked together.

Thank you. It's not a sentence; it's a heading.
Happy day.
Comment from Leineco
It took a minute... but the darn thing grew on me! It's
ludicrously silly, but the fact that it was unrelentingly
so actually converted it from bad to "so bad it's good"
LOL
Heck, I'm still grinning!

Thank you. I am like the fungi on cheese. Harmless and colorful. Some cut it off and others eat it in desperation. Then there are those who are lactose intolerant.
Comment from Louise Michelle
Hm...I get the humor in this story, but it didn't quite make the mark.
However, I like your writing style. That opening paragraph is not strictly grammatically correct, but it sets the light hearted mood.
Actually, you could add the word 'We're' and still keep it in the moment.
I think if you added more detail with regard to facial expressions and emotions, this fine slap stick style comedy would work better. That's my two cents - take or trash it, LOL. Hugs, Lou

Bit of a sneaky one there at the end, mate.
Kind of caught me by surprise.
Very well written though , with breakfast cereal added too.
There were no slow spots in the story

A very clever and witty way to using all the words in one piece. You can imagine a board meeting with this taking place. Really enjoyed and happy New year

Comment from chasennov
a 142-word story. Breakfast of Chimpanzees.' This is a rather difficult task you have been required to do. Writing a story on words supplied by someone else. But you did a fine job with it and good luck in the contest. Very well done.
