For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator. A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.
Enjoy!
Apocalypse
Office
Memorandum
To:
All
Employees of the Office of Infernal Affairs
From:
Your
Boss the All-Powerful Evil Overlord
Date:
April
1, 2017
Subject:
The
Upcoming Apocalypse
The apocalyptic event scheduled for 4:15
HST (Hell Standard Time) has been postponed due to budget cuts. This decision was not made lightly. I understand a lot of work went into planning
the various natural disasters that would have brought about the doom of
mankind. Your work is appreciated. The
plans will be filed away for future use.
The celebratory barbecue will still take
place as scheduled. I’ll see all of you
there.
LOL Cute! :D

My "theme" - A Thirty-Word Story #AtoZChallenge The Letter A
Great idea for the A-Z. New name for Trump? The All-Powerful Evil Overlord? It covers a lot of overlords ATM. A fun read. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL. I enjoyed this a lot. Can't wait for Monday's :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! A great start to the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteApocalypse seems an appropriate word for the last day of the challenge... I enjoyed your story. A random prompt, and then exactly 100 words...It's challenging!

Hmm....that evil overlord sure sounds familiar. Good opening post.

The Four Horsemen were holding out for more money and threw the whole thing off schedule.

I think someone misread his note. We do have a demon as president, don't we? If that isn't the beginning, I don't know what is! :)
ReplyDeleteA great "A" word... The best book I've known about a delayed Apocalypse is Rob Kroese' "Mercury Falls" It is very funny.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. Good use of the word.

Those budget cuts really do get everywhere. I just don't want to know what's cooking on the barbecue!
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Even Hell can't escape budget cuts!

I'm pretty sure everyone at some point has had a boss they've given that name to (among many other, unprintable, ones :P). Loved your take on it, can't wait to see what you come up with next!
