And 20 snippets

At weekly meetings, aspiring writers are often expected to write something at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesnt.
Sometimes the exercise spawns a semi-decent idea, that can be tweaked and prodded into pretending its a real story.
These arent those.
These are the ones left bleeding on the floor of the operating theatre. They are not full stories. Just bits of scenes. Paragraphs. Snippets.
Most writers leave these tucked away in private notebooks. Thats probably where they belong. But on the off-chance anyone wants to peek inside the mind of an aspiring writer to see how ideas develop - and often die - heres your chance to read 20 ad hoc short shorts that might at least raise a smile.
