fiction - brigits_flame - drabble for "Nirvana"

[hwango]

It can be a real struggle to break into a market already flooded with choices. Some people are going to be happy with their current brand, and won't easily consider trying out something new. Even those who might be interested have to wade through so many other options.

So when I decided to start my own religion, I knew I needed something that would really grab people. Other afterlives have peace and happiness, free of suffering and mortal desires. In other words, they're boring.

My religion's afterlife? Filled with ninjas and dinosaurs. It's gonna be awesome.

As usual, I love your sense of humour! You also did a wonderful job with the prompt, because you didn't actually mention the term within your entry. That's something I always respect.

I do have to wish for some more length; drabbles can be great, but there just isn't enough here to satisfy me ... I want to know so much about this religion, not to mention the narrator!

Can I be a Ninja?

Can my dog be a dinosaur?

I'm not joining until I know those two things.

LOL oh that is an awesome afterlife. I would totally look forward to that. XD

my complaint? it'd be that you didn't write more! =p but I think the shortness of this drabble kinda brings your point across more clearly too, so I'm kind of undecided on that. =p

Ninjas would totally trump dinosaurs =p unless the dinos are fire-breathing!

I want to marry you now. Or join your new religion. Dinosaurs and ninja? Hell yeah! The only thing this perfect paradise is missing are the flying monkeys.

Seriously now, this cracked me up badly. I actually startled the dog by laughing out loud. You, good sir, are a genius.

LOL. I love the second paragraph--after the first one I was like 'hmmm, is this about marketing?' and then it's like BAM, starting your own religion. This is short but but hilarious. Ninjas...XD
