The Dutch have a saying for moments like this, moments when you are raised up high with expectation of wonder and joy only to have your hopes dashed on the rocks of disappointment.

"You made me happy with a dead sparrow."

The only thing that could life my spirits now would be if it were Trent that had off'ed the bird.

A Quiet Pint

Click click! Went a noise. Click click again! It was the same noise! Well not exactly the same noise it wasn't a time travelling click but it was sonically similar enough to the other one that it was probably coming from the same source. Trent manoeuvred his eyelids to the closed position. This was bad. Click click! It was the sound of the noise again and now trent had decided it was one of three things probably. 1. Someone was loading a loaded shotgun at his head. 2. Someone had just broken his neck four times. 3. A grasshopper, genus African Big, was on the bar somewhere and performing a sub par mating ritual. He turned his head and scanned the bar for randy inverterberates. No grasshopper. Also his top shirt button had pinged off under the muscle strain of his head movement. No broken neck. That left only one thing... Trent turned round as slowly as he could (extremely quickly) and he was suddenly staring not down the barrel of a gun but up the barrel of a gun because the man holding it was a terrible shot and also he was dead!! Click! Click! Click! Click! The noise was making a sound again! Trebt looked past the not a grasshopper using his not broken neck and through the barrel of a shotgun that wasn't down but up and saw a pen. UNLICENSED TRACHEOTOMY! Trent had put the pen through the throat of the bad guy without even realising it and was doing a crossword on the other side of his head and clicking the pen! OTOLARYNGOLOGIST! Shouted trent as he suddenly filled in 9 down which related to ear nose and throat doctors.

The first Trent post is 6 years old, jesus christ.

Mr E

Trent is much older than that. I don't know many 6 year olds who could do tracheotomies.

ibarelycare

I want UNLICENSED TRACHEOTOMY! on a t-shirt.

Ficheall

I wonder if Trent will UNLICENSED TRACHEOTOMY the next beautiful woman who sexes him sexily with her mouth haha.

What I love about this thread was the initial, condescending reaction to the adventures of trent and how it was silenced.

paidragg ignored them and kept posting his insane genius- immune to the sneering.

Some pages later the same snobs were singing his praises like everyone else.

No snobbery on my part. Trent comes across as very badly written, techically speaking. I just didn't realise it was deliberately so.

Like you give a toss! Two posts on Creative writing and both are antagonistic.

Should be made into a book

timthumbni

This is excellent. Really,really excellent. I would buy this book. But the tears of laughter would prevent me from every finishing it. In truth I doubt I would get past the first page.

Mr E

It would make a great book. Imagine it as a graphic novel? Pure gold.

SweetChaos

I remember someone made an audiobook of Trent I cant find it but its somewhere on boards

cdeb

Here - but the link doesn't seem to work any more?

I'm thinking it would read like madcap E-Book fiction. With an Irish name and following he'd get a good income over the years...

It'd work pretty well in the format of that show Drunk History. Specially if the person reading it out was drunk maybe

A boards meet up, something akin to an open-mic where members take it in turns to read extracts.

This should happen.

I heard of a challenge today like putting an ice cube on your head or pushing yourself up off he floor a lot of times and the challenge is to write a story by doing one sentence every day which seems like a lot of writing to me one sentence every day but hear goes I'll give it a go even though it sounds like a crazy way to write a story!!

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccckkk!!!

Day 1
Ok bad start I didnt finish my sentence yesterday. I got one of the words but when I was trying to think of some more I accidentally thought of some pictures of dirt bikes and also about some feelings being hungry was one of them and when I finished my sandwich all of the words that I could think of were about sandwiches. I think the word I did do was quite good hopefully when I go back to it today it still makes sense

endacl

Damn. Now I want a sandwich, but there's no bread left and the shop is shut.

WWTD?

padraiggg

Ok another bad day yesterday I rewrote the first word of my first sentence about 100,00 times and then decided that the first time I did it was probably right but I had so many screwed up bits of paper in my room that I couldnt find the first draft and had to write it out again I think that im happy now and just have to think of the rest of the sentence but like I said writing one sentence is a lot harder than you would think

Edit; I made an edit but I cant see the edit reason anywhere. The reason for the edit was that I forgot to say that it was day 2 so please try to imagine the words day two above the other words before you read them and pleas e also imagine that you read the edit reason that I wrote but that you can't see. Thanks

padraiggg

Ok, reguarding the confusion about day 2 and 3. Its actually quite simple. If yesterday was day 2 of the challenge then today is day 3 so use the creative half of your brain (top half) to imagine it says day two above what I wrote earlier describing yesterday, but use the other logic side of your brain to know that today is actually day 3 in which case your logic might also think that I should write three sentences today to catch up. But if you did think that then please read the damb rules its called the one sentence a day challenge not the try and do the same sentence for two days and then somehow manage to do three sentances on one day challenge who do you think I am Edith Blyton? (Someone who wrote a lot of books go get a dictionary and look it up)! Anyway ive definitely got the first word finished of the first sentence its a noun which is a good start I think, now just need to throw in some verbs and adjectives ect to go with it and maybe find out what an adverb or proposition is and see if any of them are good too. Hopefully i can finish the rest of the sentence today and post it up!

endacl

I have every confidence in you padraiggg. You can do it!

StupidLikeAFox

Do you need more money? We can forward you an advance if you like?

I just like to add to what everyone else has said: great stories that made me laugh out loud. I can't believe that I'd never come across this thread before today, it's the best thing I've read on boards.

padraiggg

Well its taken me all day but I think I've finally cracked it


Day 4: sentance one


Trent entered.

Who did he enter?

This is my favourite thread on the internet. It's like the literary equivalent of the Stone Roses reforming.

Trent. The man. The mystery. The Noun.
