Have You Ever…Ever?

Have you ever, EVER…?

Literally…or figuratively

Broken ground, OrBroken wind

Bitten the hand that fed you

Added insult to injury

Or poured salt in the wound

Wrapped your head around something

Decided that that was the last straw

Pulled a leg …pulled a finger

Gotten a dozen of anything for a dime

Let someone off the hook

Drown your sorrows …And did they eventually float back to the surface?

Eaten your words …Did they need seasoning?

Needed or gotten elbow room…

Gotten something off of your chest

One point per “yes”, except number 1, which is minus 1; 2 if you broke wind in an elevator as you were leaving it

About Zaslow Crane

Zaslow Crane wrote his first Science fiction story when he was 11 This was after an uncle had given him a Charmin case full of sci fi paperbacks- all the old masters: A.E.Van Vogt, Cordwainer Smith, Heinlen, Bradbury, and dozens more. After that, he never looked back. Zaslow Crane has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers over many years, and has been a contributing editor for a national magazine. He has been published a couple hundred times for non fiction. Regarding fiction, he writes primarily SciFi and was one of the creative talents behind Smoke and Mirrors, a parsec nominated podcast that "re-imagined" the Twilight Zone and, which ran for 2 1/2 years. He has written over two hundred short stories, 7 or 8 novellas and two novels, one of which "explains" a great many advancements in human technology. He likes mindless sort of work, because it frees that other part of his brain to work on story ideas, so if you see him, say, digging a ditch, you'll know that he’s really writing. He lives in a tiny house on a hill in Central California. His home overlooks the ocean - IF you're willing to stand on tip toes and crane your neck. Just a bit.
