Good day, everyone! This blog is about to go boom, as in explode with people visiting soon. I have a facebook page that people can come and visit (and like) at this link. I’m also on Twitter, just look for @MusicAndFiction.
Also, before I go with the show today, make sure you read over the last two stories that have come out. These are big ones, what I call the “normal” stories. Get inspired, get involved, and enjoy them. You can read “Angelia” and “We Fight Another Day” at the links.
Now, time for the Friday Fictioneers story!

Punk Rock
by Miles Rost
Three guys, drunk as sin, walking home from a punk concert and pub crawl. All three passed by a window.
“Oi! Wot ya take an eye at that!”
“Wow! It’s got spikes an’ everything!”
“Yeah! That’s definitely punk!”
All three roared out in laughter, as they kept walking past.
After a few moments, the pile of rocks started to lift up from where it was. Underneath it popped out a head.
“Oooh! I really like this style! I think this hat will go great with my rhino-stone dress,” the head said, standing up straight. Under the hat was a very stylish socialite, opening her very expensive purse.
“The hat rocks, ma’am,” the store owner said, as he chuckled while collecting the money.

Dear Miles,
Now that’s an interesting pile of rocks. Love the dialogue.
Shalom,

Well, it reminded me of the gaudy outfits the folks used to wear at Studio 54, and I just thought…hey, why not. Contrasting with the knowledge of the opposite side of the tracks, the punk side, it makes for a great story.
Thanks for reading!
Off to a rocky start…? Just kidding, I thought this very clever, I love me a good word pun.
Cheers

I was known at my college as “The Man of 10,000 bad puns”. It was an honor. Glad you liked it! 🙂
Ha.. love the punk vs socioelite styles..
It’s the 1970s all over again. The socioelite had disco and Studio 54, the punks had CBGBs. I think I might actually write a story about that. Glad you read it and liked it.
Fun stuff, Miles. I enjoyed the association of this picture with punk rock.
One word of critique: If you eliminate the word “very,” you would have some spare words to fill out your story a bit.
Still, an enjoyable tale.
All my best,
Marie Gail
The good or bad part of punk style is that you can injure someone just by hugging them hard. 🙂 I think if you wore the thing in this picture, you’d be dressed to kill.
Just like Madonna’s cone bra.
Dear Miles, One gals junk is another socialites expensive hat. Good story and you do have to be careful around spiked hair because it will poke you in the eye! Nan 🙂
The guys with the mohawks agree with you.
This was fun! Poor punks, admiring a socialite’s hat.
Definitely a rocky start to any future relationship. *snicker* Thank you for reading and watching! 🙂
Fun story. I like how people of the two opposing styles both admire the same item. There is common ground to be found! 🙂
Sometimes, the same thing has two different meanings. That’s why you always look. 🙂
What were they on?!! Different – I loved it.
I’m guessing they were…stoned?
Though about the spike hair story line myself. Glad I didn’t go there because yours is great!
DJ
And yours was…well…quite interesting! Thanks for reading!
I hope the punks went home and made a cheap knock-off… Fun story!
More than likely, they went home and sniffed some glue. Thanks for the visit! 🙂
A most prickly style. I like the punk twist.
It was actually inspired by Paul Simon and a Simon & Garfunkel song that made fun of Bob Dylan’s music.
Lots of fun. I love the slow reveal as the lady rises into view.
Why thank you! Though, I have to wonder just how heavy that hat will be.
Haha the dialogue is great! I love the last line.
Thank you, Tiffany! I liked your story as well. And I’m not eactly sure what I was on, but I wanted to get something that seemed to be good. So, there it was. 🙂
You’re welcome! And I think you succeeded. 🙂
That was pretty funny.
Class war in extremis. Great to hear the music again. (You could delete the words ‘up from where it was’ to make it read more easily and to avoid a charge of tautology).
