@bexx_20 Good use of implication on this one! Thanks for posting it, Bex.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@HarrisonatSHU What a cool format. Thanks, Harrison -- I'm seeing bats now.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@MjGreathouse Clever use of media -- really dug this 'experiment'! ;-)

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@__EmRose__ Enjoyed this story, Emma!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@GrasingerAshley Nice job, Ashley!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@miketrubino @knightsofarcade @ConfluenceSff @DennisJerz Sorry I missed out, Mike! Didn't know you were a part of the festivities darnit. I typically do attend that con, but missed out this year due to teaching obligation. Regardless, I'm sure your performance was awesome.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@Cori_Casto @WritingPrompt_s Heheh. "blood everywhere" indeed.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@HarrisonatSHU Twisted indeed!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@__EmRose__ @PromptList LOL. Good one.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@MjGreathouse You captured the "slip"!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@GrasingerAshley Hahah... nice graphic for this piece!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@Cori_Casto Liked this (the big image is really effective with the "split screen" effect). Curious: was it supposed to say "you won't get hurt"?

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@__EmRose__ Ooh, an ee cummings styled meme! Wonderful.

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

@BGralluzzo Clever ending and layout, Brian!

[Michael Arnzen, Ph.D @arnzen]

My flash fiction class is posting story memes.

@MjGreathouse Oooh, spooky one! I really like how the look of it matches the story told/implied.
