Now anyone in London could be a Mog,
and everyone is a suspect,
even Urilla the pretty detective
by Mog now is fully possessed.
Mackwill thought "I must use Arnold."
"I'll give you whatever you want
if you admit that you had Flitz killed."
"detective Urilla wants a proof", Mackwill said,
you give it to her and I'll make you rich"
or your turn will be coming soon.
I have Filtzory's in the bed"
"be good, admit that you had him killed."
Arnold thought why not, chance comes but once
"this shall end my miseries, he thought, but he didn't know
that detective Urilla is possessed;
Sad! Mackwill's dreams and Arnold now are dead.

Rula
a small typo you would want to correct
or you[r] turn will be coming soon.
Regards,
Thank you raj
I appreciate your commitment to read the workshop submissions though not an active participant.
guess it's my turn
Time to revamp my original thoughts since I am now dead...however, Anabel is gone but not useless..
I'm confused.
I have forgotten who Arnold is or is he a new character? And how did he die Rula? Can you tell us how he died before I move it? You needn't, but I think it would add to the tale. Your section is not very graphic. Too much ordinary "telling" and not enough telling of the story. It needs the actual action like in my last section where the characters actually "acted" in the poetry (which by the way, I thought was atrocious... mine, not yours. Yours is fine).
Does that make sense?
I can explain it more completely if you want.
Also, you forgot to add your submission to the workshop. It's not on the submissions page. I almost missed it which would have been catastrophic.
sir
Arnold is my character; suspect no. 2.
How he died? He was killed by Mog who possessed Urilla the detective.
I know I am bad at telling the story, and yes I need more explanation of what you mean by it needs the actual action... my guess you mean to talk about things done not tell about it. Is that what you wanted?
I am sorry concerning not choosing the right workshop. Seems I scrolled down before getting the cursor fixed on the right ws. My fault.
Don't concern yourself with choosing the workshop.
It's not a problem.
Please go check out my recent message on the syllabus thread. I'm going to teach.
"think quickly Annabel" Another version for section 20
"think quickly Annabel"
she kept saying to herself
as red glows from Urilla's eyes.
"those eyes hold the monster's rage."
Annable snatched a bottle
and hit onto the head
"the detective immediately died.
Mog's paralyzed then died too.
In no time she raced the wind
holding Urilla's body on her horse
to meet Arnold Winter
somewhere near the factory.
Let's slay as usual the head
and throw where never found
If they are ever found
the cops think it's Mog the serial killer.
Do you think sir this is any better sir?
Wow, did you throw a wrench into it.
Yes, this is storytelling. Mog defeated huh? All that's left is capture Mackwill (although he's innocent in a way having been possessed. Also, is Mog really dead? I wonder. What was he?
Okay Carrie, you will have to make a few adjustments to yours, but I suspect the most of it will work. Read Rula's carefully and change accordingly.
Outrageous Rula.
wow!
Have I really got a wow from a distinguished storyteller?
Wesley
I'm lost Rula, Urilla possessed I must find out how she became so. i have a great story to follow you. . Now Carrie. I must read her to get the full picture of what she found
Okay I read
Great story. I got a horrific scary story to tell.
Oh dear
I thought I've read somewhere that Annabel has died?? If I'm not mistaken its Wes who killed her character along with Guy French in his poem. Looks like I gotta recheck the storyline again in the previous poems. Anyway, this one is a good write. I'm thinking of a good ending for Mackwill but I must wait for Carrie's contribution to see if it can fit.
Alid
I thought I was dead
But I guess I am not....a bit under the weather so now guarantees for any revisions until tomorrow. If I get some quiet time tonight, I will try.
sir
I think this need to move since everyone is happy with it.
Rula
I really like the twist you threw into things. I have re-edited my edit and I think I am happy with it if everyone else is. I added lines to it as per Wesley, this was ok, since we are trying to move the piece along. I think it goes nicely and picks up where you left off with a few twist of its own!!!
Great great
I read you rula and Carrie and can't wait to see what alid has written so I can throw a wrench of my own into it.
So if I got this annabelthe killer of fritzroy, arnold, guy, maxwell, and Urilla, mog. So who's left? Creel?
Hi Barbara
