Once a knight, we have a knaval engagement…
Literati!
I am pleased (relieved, overjoyed,ecstatic) that–as far as I can determine–all entries to Of Knights and Knaves have been posted. If you submitted an entry and did not see it on line, please let me know and I will see it gets posted. It was a lark, and Thorn? He might choose words more

Sal Buttaci deNewds America…
…and panders to the editors-in-briefs!
Here is his second entry into our contest Of Knights and Knaves, the contest that required the writer to use the line or create one that sounds similar to “It was a dark and stormy night.”
All right Sal…No fair pandaring to the editors-in-briefs! It’s not like you’re running for

The Kite Bummer…Janet Klise
Literati!
Mercifully, our much protracted contest Of Knights and Knaves is coming to a close. We have a few more entries that made it under the wire, including this one by Janet Klise, which she calls:
Charlie’s Flight of Fancy
by Janet Klise
“Where did the boy find that kite-thing anyways, Ellie? It’s made of

Literati…I have an amazing talent to take the most somber story, well written, and ascribe some absolutely frivolous graphic and comment to it in an effort to entertain you, and compel you to read the stories that get posted on the blog. Just couldn’t do it this time…I must be slippin’…or maybe…

Good Morning Literati!
We have a few more entries into our contest Of Knights and Knaves, and the precocious among you have rightly guessed this is one of them! Still time to submit your own entry, as the contest has been extended to January 25th. Here are the rules that only I am permitted to

Mac Eagan, The Marquis (ac)Count–don’t beat yourself up over it.
Literati!
Mac Eagan has another offering for our contest Of Knights and Knaves. Truth be told, (It happens on rare occasions here at The Word)I missed any reference to a phrase that sounds something like “It was a dark and stormy night,” which was a requirement of the contest, but he does meet the other

The Heist–Sheri Strobaugh says “Nefer again!”
Literati!
“You can get everyone you taunt, at the editor’s favorite haunt.”
Sheri Strobaugh has entered our contest, Of Knights and Knaves, though she may be in da Nile. (BAD PUN ALERT!!! BAD PUN ALERT!!!). The Editor-in-Chief (could that be moi?) apologizes once again for the haphazard nature of this contest, which has been fighting

Billy
Little Billy Welper was born with a set of tools that most of us know nothing about. He couldn’t do much externally but make regular burbling baby sounds and kick his feet until his puppy-head footies flew off. But inside that little fuzzy skull his brain was working overtime. When he hit the landmark milestone

Not all dark and stormy nights are created equally
Literati
I read this poignant confession three times, thinking there had been some mistake, that author Michael Stang did not intend for it to be entered into our contest, but simply as a feature to share for commentary. But I am slow, very slow, in all things except love-making. And then I realized that Michael
