"Rain pounded on the windows, and a fist pounded on the door. I swung the door open just as a bolt of lightning revealed the visage of a bewhiskered man wearing a fedora.
The lady of the house was out, but it was me he wanted. Me and the little lady I was with. He smirked, and I knew there wasn't enough gin in the world to erase the coming nightmare."
Recognise it? No? Ahh, if the Cat in the Hat went Noir, it might look like this.
But maybe you disagree. Well, then, show me what YOU think it would look like if Seuss went Noir... any Dr. Seuss story, just use the original story name as your title.
Not including the title, please tell your story in a maximum of 5000 words. I advise you to write it all in a word processing program and copy/paste it into posts, so that you don't run the risk of someone posting in the middle of your story.
So, there you go. And here's some useful tips for ya, kid:
* Spellcheck is your friend. No, really, it is.
*Punctuation is your friend, too. Period. :-D
Submissions must be posted no later than 11:59PM on Thursday, January 31.
Prize(s) will be awarded!
