Once upon a time there was a man named Max.

Max lived in France.

Max liked to make lists of people who he didn't like.

One day Max made a very long list. But he wouldn't tell anyone who was on his list. And everyone worried that they might be on Max's list. And they realized that they didn't like Max very much.

So they chopped his head off.
The end.

1. My cousin used to run a site for writers

He would publish anything you submitted. He had a category called the "Short Short Story." Stories submitted in that category had to be 100 words or less. Your's clocks in at 71 words. :)

3. Your cousin sounds cool.

2. Sounds like Max didn't pay much attention to his surroundings....

sounds like Max could take a "TK421 crash course in paranoia", but he lost his head so that wouldn't do him any good now, would it?

4. We could all learn a few things from Max.

5. Hmmmm

I don't like that candidate, either. I know a lot of people don't like my guy as well, but I haven't felt the need to get all NSA on them.

6. Max has resorted to posting in GD? I had better hopes for that boy, I did...

:o

7. Nay, Max is dead.

Let us speaketh old English, and not act like him.
