Don't Run Over the Purple Octopus

"Look out for the purple octopus"1

"WHERE?!?!?"2

"RIGHT THERE!!!!"3

"HOLD ON! WE'RE LOSING CONTROL"4

BOOM crash... There was the purple octopus just fine but man, our space ship sure was busted up and broken down on some strange, strange planet... We contacted the home planet, called LALALALULU and told them what happened... They told us it would be about 1 millisecond before they could get to us... That was the longest time ever!!! 5

They showed up and decided to take the purple octopus back to LALALALULU for evidence and wierd scientific study, for we had never seen a purple octopus... Sure we had purple cowz, purple squirrelz, purple catz, purple monkeyz, and purple iquanaz but not purple octopusez...6

Anyways... On our way back home, the captain decided to kiss me... He told me that the near death experience made him realize he loved me... This was a dream come true and all because of a purple octopus!!!7

    The captain kissed you, huh... and ...ummm... did he follow that up with a proposal or did he go the usual route of love 'em and leave 'em....

    Just wondering

    What a neat story, and now I'm already in love with purple octopusez

    Thank you so much for entering the contest

    Cute and Well Done

    Oh, this is so cute, Beth! Short and right to the point. Well done, sweetie. The only suggestion I make is to drop the "And," preceeding "crash," for two reasons: 1) it's not usually advisable to begin a paragraph with a conjunction; and, 2) it causes a delay when, otherwise, the crash should be sudden and unexpected.

    Nevertheless, you've demonstrated your talent quite well! Oh! And, by the way, thank you so much for such an uplifting, encouraging review of "Finite Art." You know I appreciate it when you stop by for a visit!

    Lots of love and hugs, AuntieB&heartsnnieQ

    lol...very interesting, I've got a suggestion though, in one sentence you say: "We called the home planet, called LALALALULU" <aybe change it to "We called the home planet, named LALALALULU " or "We contacted the home planet, called LALALALULU " It's slightly difficult to read the way it is. You want your reading to be flowing, and as soon as you've got a sentence like this which takes some time to understand, well it kinda spoils it. But thats just my opinion

    A purple octopus...I want one, well, I want to see one. I bet one would make a nice butler for me. I mean, lots of hands for serving etc. No idea why I thought of that. Very funny. I love purple animals

    Dear Sexy Angel,
    Was the captain wearing purple lipstick when he kissed you or did you bite his tongue?
    I understand there iz a HUGE demand for purple octopus genitalz in Japan where they pound them into a pulp (after removing them from the octopus) and uze them az an aphrodiziac.
    Applauze for your sci-fi story, good luck to the captain and good luck in the contest.
    Love and purple hugz, XXX Hugh.

    Goodness!! When you tell me where you found the purple octopus, I'll write one as well. I found a purple horse, but I still can't figure out what to write. Jay has issued plagues on those of us who don't enter.

    This is just too cute, Beth. I love it. Good luck Sweetie. Hugs, Gramma ♥
