Big Brown Dog
October 13, 2016 8:03
Brown eyes. Brown coat. Brown spots. When a big brown dog comes to mind, it’s like a worn memory of a childhood teddy bear for some. For others, the idea is pure fiction.
Writers took to the form of flash fiction this week to honor the memory of a big brown dog named Grenny. Many had memorials and memories of their own to add — photos and stories. Be sure to click on any highlighted title links to read the blog posts some of our writers include with their flash.
The following is based on the October 5, 2016 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a Big Brown Dog.

Janela de Overton: como manipular a opinião pública
Há 20 anos, um americano elaborou uma teoria sobre como nós podemos ser levados a pensar o que um grupo de pessoas quer que nós pensemos
Pense bem antes de responder. Qual sua opinião sobre a legalização do aborto? A descriminalização das drogas? A privatização das universidades públicas? O casamento gay?
Essas e várias outras questões estão postas de alguma forma na sociedade brasileira atual e, provavelmente, você tem uma opinião mais ou menos fundamentada sobre cada um desses assuntos. Mas a pergunta que fica é: será que essa é verdadeiramente nossa opinião ou fomos levados a pensar assim?

Naked Alliances on Lisa Burton Radio
October 13, 2016 7:55
Coming at you with 1.21 jigawatts of power, you’ve discovered Lisa Burton Radio. The only show where we interview the characters that you love to read about. I’m Lisa Burton, the robot girl, and I’m waiting for my guest Brandi to show up.

dawn is cooler, and its light serenly switches from golden to copper, rust and blood… the whole nature worships the mellow Indian summer that has already shortened, taking back what it has offered to us since June… just a…
