A look on how to stretch a sentence.

at Monday, May 21, 2007 by something in , , ,

i have a competition for you all, i demand that you stretch the following sentence to at least 20 words.

The small dog barked.

here is my version: The very small, minuscule dog shrilled loudly through the night, splitting the dark blanket as many children wandered the creeking dust-filled hallway.
no it doesn't have to sound as demented...althought it can be about a teddy bear trapped in a car...

The tiny, defenseless pooch of mixed Daschund and Poodle heritage stared aimlessly at the sky and brked as loud as five thousand train conductors trying to get the same girl while it murmered to itself, not aware of the troubles of the virulent and turbulent world, only able to know of the things that happen to it in the little asylum that it calls home, where it receives free food and shelter in exchange for its love.

The very undersized and insignificant mutt was belittled by two much larger,fiercer hounds, in a desperate attempt to scare the two off, it inhaled as much as it equally premature lungs and let out an ear-splitting squeak that cracked the glass of the widows three streets down.

After typing the sentence, I decided to make a story!

"The relatively short dog (who I assumed at the time to be a stray animal, as it walked with a slight limp) released a shrill yelp typical of its species, causing me to stiffen my back in shock and gasp a small gasp." ~ Keijiro Hayashi on The Dog in his Yard

"Shocked, and a little angry, I grabbed a gun out of my nightstand and went outside. I shot the dog twice: once in the stomach and once more in the head. It was considerably clean, except a small gush of grey liquid from the head and another liquid from the stomach.

"Seconds after seeing the mess, I realized that the dog's limp was caused by pregnancy; this could be confirmed by the pool of liquid, which I realized then to be embryonic fluid.

"At this time, a girl had come out (I presume now that she had been looking for her dog). As she saw what I had done, she cried, 'What the hell did you do? You bitch!'

So I shot her too." ~ Keijiro Hayashi on The Smell Coming From his Garage
