Casey Picks Three Things
One potato, two potato, three potato…
Here at The Comic Jam we are always pushing ourselves to improve our skills and this week’s theme was a challenge indeed. Our illustrious leader, Casey, picked three random words and gave them to the writers to craft a compelling story…and they nailed it!
Irrational Bones
Three things: A mall, cigarette, fear
The Basement of my Discontent
Three things: A sword, delirium, sand
The Wolf
Three things: Wolf, broken watch, spy craft
Three Notes
Three things: Guitar, flames, motorcycle
