Tonight, Dr. Schmendrake would rule the world. He had succeeded where everyone else had failed. He’d created microscopic nanobots that would secretly live inside people’s brains. Nobody knew they were there, but everyone would be under their — and under Dr. Schmendrake’s — influence!

Keep up the GREAT work! This is my first stop as I start each day. Really cool concept.

Thanks, Jeremy! I appreciate the comment. It helps to know there are people reading… it keeps me from slacking off!

There’s a six-word memoir contest at http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/ right now, according to the Freakonomics guys. The first prize is an ipod, I hear.
No sign of writer’s block yet?

That contest looks neat. Some of the entries posted are really clever.
As for writers block, not too much trouble yet… Although many times I’m not too happy with what I do come up with. If I’m really stuck, I take inspiration from a random Wikipedia article (for example, the day before yesterday’s and tomorrow’s posts). That keeps things interesting. :)

Being a great fan of Flash Fiction myself, I’m always impressed and inspired by what other people are doing with bite sized fiction, and I must say I’m enjoying what you’re doing here.

Thanks, Stephen. I’ve been a reader of 365 Tomorrows almost since the beginning. It’s great to see you here! Let me know if you ever need a guest writer. ;)
