Two winners – chosen by Alex – will each win one prize:

GRAND PRIZE: A picture of Alex and a download of him playing the guitar.


In +/- 20 words, what does Alex look like?


He might look like this:

Or like this:


We all know he's this:

But...the closest we’ll probably ever get is this:

(sneaky ninja o_0)

In +/- 20 words, who could play Alex in a documentary? (Living or dead.)

To answer that, I’d need to know what he looks like. (hint)
Maybe a young Eric Stoltz.

In +/- 20 words, who does Alex remind you of?

That’s easy. I met someone in the late 80s who was the older brother I never had. He’s the poster child for friendship and the reason I’m still around.

In +/- 100 words, (excluding the title) write flash fiction using all these prompts: Cavanaugh ~ Ninja ~ IWSG ~ Cosbolt ~ Guitar 

Deep Space Drama

.     Brody strode toward the console and dropped into the seat next to Dakes. “Where’s Cavanaugh?”
.     “Dunno.” The guardian kept punching buttons and flipping levers, never looking away. 
    “I’m growing tired of coming in on my day off.” Brody studied the screen and took over. “Had plans with Joya. He owes me.” 
.     “You know how it is during IWSG. By the gods!” Dakes slammed his hand onto the launcher and shot a cosbolt at the giant meteor hurling toward them. He sighed as it disintegrated in a fiery shower. “That was close."
.     “Grubby little ninja,” Brody growled. “I’ll be feeding him his guitar when he gets back.”

For Bonus Points:
In +/- 40 words, leave a comment for Mrs. Cavanaugh - thanking her for sharing.

I'm sure you sometimes want to feed Alex his guitar just like Brody. But don't. He's awesome and we need him. Thanks for sharing your ninja. :)


Cheers, Cavanaugh.

  4. Hey,

    The FF was great - very tight for 100 words and laughed at the pics, especially the Tom-Cruise look-alike with the guitar :)

    (*Whispers* that's Alex...)

    Oh.


    Intrigued by the reminder question, but tell the Friend, "nice save, mate."
