Out of the last five people to investigate the screams coming from the Lady Venin’s country estate, four disappeared and one lost his mind.

Amusing Nonsense 
Sounds like fun. Maybe after Christmas. 🙂 Wish you hadn’t threatened with “or something”. 😦

It’ll be okay. The “or something” is just to cover my bases when nothing bad happens as a result of not writing a one-liner. 😦

Technically all of these one-line short stories are lead-ins for longer ones. I won’t feel bad at all if they are taken and re-imagined by other people. Hint hint. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.

The one that lost his mind attempted to overcome the constant raving of the voices in his head by writing one liners for the equally mysterious but less screamy Linda G Hill.

So, I have to ask: did the man literally lose his mind or figuratively?

Hmm, it being people is an interesting interpretation…
As for literal or figuratively, the Lady Venin has not told me anything. She has sworn me on my honor as a gentleman to keep some secrets.

If she’s keeping horrific secrets it would not be gentlemanly of you to keep them, especially if people’s lives are at steak…I mean stake.

That was a good pun. Someone should share that over at Charles’s blog. Hint. Hint.

I only came upon that pun because I recognized my mispelling. I don’t want people to get the idea that I’m good with puns! Lowering other’s expectations always works advantageously.
