PROMPT #1 End Date. 5/31/12.

PROMPT #1
A mysterious object is falling/falls/fell from the sky.

 ...is closed. As of 5/31/12, I will not be officially receiving any more of the responses to Prompt #1 and that's okay, because the response was actually quite satisfying. And this is only the first prompt!

Now, per our club's design, ye Knights of Qwerty will be sent attached files, including the works of all other Knights that submitted for month of May. You are encouraged to send them a short one to two page response, if you wish, including your likes, dislikes, and suggestions for improvement. 

Remember:

1. Be creative and constructive.
2. Be considerate and courteous.
3. Be sincere and civil.

Here are the titles and their authors for Prompt #1, as well as their e-mails, so you can send them an e-mailed private response. Excerpts from each of the pieces will be quoted below each title as soon as I am done reading them all. Here you guys are, ordered by last name.

Just a reminder here and then I'll do it at the end, Prompt #2 will be posted on edit: June 6th. Please feel free to suggest any prompts that you would like to see used. Prompts can be anything from a short premise, a quote, a short video, etc.

Patagonia by Sean Barnes 

"Luckily, anyone dumb enough to let slip my participation in “non-sanctioned pest control” would know better than to incur the heavy fines for using a non-contracted exterminator. Phaeton Co made us all into criminals...."

Heroes of the Sea by Rose Pierce
 
"This particular sea cucumber, like most sea cucumbers, does not care about how gross you think she is. In fact, she thinks she is quite lovely. Her spines are soft and bouncy, her tentacle fronds are long and flowing, and her esophagus is in grade A working condition; honestly, what more could one ask for?"

Prompt #2 will be posted on edit: June 6th.
