This week I thought I would write a short story in exactly #fiftywords (the challenge allows for entries between 50 and 1500 words). This is not an entry for the current challenge by Hive account@miniature-tiger, if you like 50 word stories please check his current challenge out, you can also find my entry to the current challenge (my story is called "Brat!") here

“Volunteers wanted! Cash paid!”
Hungry, desperate, broke, he signed up.
“It’s called Mind Rising,” the white coated woman said.
“We upload your consciousness onto a chip.”
“What have I got to lose?” he said.
“Nothing,” she said. “If it works.”
He didn’t read the small print.
He lost his mind.

The picture was taken by me, of me pulling a stupid face, a few minutes ago. Then I used the phone editor to make it look even odder.

Some HUGE news for me!

Another one of my steemit stories has been selected to appear in the Isle of Write Anthology!

“Haunted” is a ghost story (not that the title gave that away or anything) and it currently has 7 parts to it. But it isn’t finished yet. So I had better get on with it, hadn’t I…

It joins my 8 part story “Reunion” that was selected a few weeks ago.
