Hey, 100 Word Stories is back. Woot!
Today’s theme is: Resurrection.
Donne had never seen a full-blown resurrection before. Lab-animated corpses, Abwehr revenants, Chinese “singing ghosts,” Haitian zombies, reborn avatars, sure. But the original life spirit slipped cleanly into a restored and revivified body? That was remarkable. In this case, it was terrifying.
“How’d you do it?” he asked Friedl. ”Last guy I heard of pulled off that trick, they made an annual holiday about it.”
Friedl smiled. ”What the mind of God can conceive, Man can imitate. Technology, with certain esoteric arts …”
Donne’s .45 roared. The top of Hitler’s skull blew off in a fine spray. Again. “God makes thunderbolts, too.”

Yay! The Donne’s are back!
I’ve been lurching closer to actually getting back into doing some writing the past week, or two, and thinking about this blog.
That Stacy resurrected 100 Word Stories is just a happy coincidence. Or is it?!
(The Donnes will almost certainly be my NaNoWriMo effort this coming November, assuming I do that. And the fact I’m doing 100 Word Stories doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned Mind & Matter by any means.)
