Very cool story. Lots of vivid images in there, and her reasoning for wanting the cookie was touching.

Funny story. I like to imagine how embarrassing it'd be for everyone if the impact never happened and they'd done terrible things and had to live with it. Getting a cookie is a good last thing to do, in light of this!

Ugh - I hope I don't have to see the bleak day...

2010-01-18T19:43:56.569-08:00

Ugh - I hope I don't have to see the bleak days you crafted here. Who the hell is making cookies in the middle of that hoopla? Heh, I suppose the same sort of people that would ask for one...

Good work with dream material!

Yeah, a riot of a tale, I think you created the atmorpshere nicely with details such as the celebrities all hugging each other

good stuff

A cookie before death? Absolutely.

Thanks everyone! I wasn't trying to be funny, so it's funny that people thought it was funny. Although I guess the whole premise is funny. :)

@Corra Thanks for the awards! I'll have to make a post at some point for these :)

Hi Andrew ~

Oh yes - this works! I got a chill. You write dialogue so well; it's totally believable.

This is just a quick note to let you know I left you a couple awards at my blog:

from the desk of a writer

I can't tell from your blog whether you get into 'awards' or not, so no pressure at all to 'pass them along, etc.' I just wanted you to know how highly I regard your work here.

All the very best,
Corra :)

Well, this is completely plausible to me, when I was pregnant I used to send my hubby out for oreos in the middle of the night. Not quite as big a crisis...lol. I kept waiting for the world not to actually end, which would be worse because everyone would have to face the animals they turned into. Nice one!

2010-01-15T12:07:14.775-08:00

the cookie picture looks a bit on the space craft side itself...

Nicely crafted and I think you have the human crowd's reactions spot on when faced with immanent destruction...

Oh, the dream you mentioned the other day! Awesome!

Unfortunately, all I could see was the picture of the cookie. There appear to be words on the page, but . . . COOOOOOOOOOOOOKIE. ;)

2010-01-15T10:42:07.635-08:00

I really enjoyed this. I've often wondered if I could keep my wordcount down to 1000. One day soon I'll give it a try. Thanks for the great example.

2010-01-15T09:22:18.918-08:00

Oh what love he has for his wife!

Really enjoyable. And sharing the cookie, though not fresh, brings their life together full circle. Until the end.

Picture of cookie makes me want one this moment!

In the UK we have a series of advertisements for Cadbury chocolate where a knight goes thorugh hell to give a lady a box of chocolates - "because the lady loves..."

Whic is nothing like your story really, so I'll stop wittering on about irrelevancies now :-)

I'll echo what John Wiswell said, nicely done!

2010-01-15T08:17:55.090-08:00

It was as enjoyable as a fresh-baked cookie with still-melting chocolate.

I love her comment, "That's okay...". It makes the twist at the end so much sweeter!

2010-01-15T08:06:38.598-08:00

How bittersweet! And what a guy to actually concede to such an outrageous demand (even if there was a sweet reason behind it). :-) Nice work!

Mmmmmm...coookies...
I promise, when the zombie apocalypse comes, if I want a cookie I'll at least go WITH you to get it. :D

2010-01-15T00:41:10.746-08:00

I love her reasoning, explicit and silent, in the first half. Her motives turn out sweet, but the humorous preposterousness is so entertaining.

1000 words exactly by some miracle.
I had this dream last night where the Earth was just about to be destroyed and my wife wanted me to go out and get her a cookie. So I used that as a writing prompt and came up with this.

I kept asking myself "why a cookie" so I came up with something. Hopefully it works, if not then maybe I'll rework it at some point.

Enjoy!
