Chats with Steve: On Storytelling

steve: it's been surprisingly difficult to come up with flash ideas

me: it'll become a story if you add a cow falling out of the sky randomly. then it's all, what do we do about this fallen cow? why did the cow fall-let's investigate. Pure story.

steve: dumb and yes, story

me: the greatest story ever told

because you know what? the cow was jesus

the end

steve: those are the last two sentences

me: before the apocalypse. it happens right after you finish reading the story

steve: i'm thinking about trying to make the quarry story a flash piece

me: oh nice

they're pulling shit out of the quarry. oh, what's this? It's a cow that fell in there. And it's Jesus

steve: the drowned boy has turned into a jesus-cow

me: (they could tell because it had stigmata in its hooves)

steve: stigmoota

me: holy cow. dumb.
