Rhabbi's first tough assignment

[Rhabbi]

Rhabbi,

It was an interesting interpretations of what I assigned. Consider the ice sheet broken.

Now let's return to your interests, (put down that camera )
I believe I mentioned an admiration for SciFi but a tendency to cringe at the blurring of genres.

So here's something nice and simple. How would you like to write a short tale of a Scifi/pirate/ghost story. be sure to include;

1 damsel in distress,

1 heroic ghost,

a horde of truly nasty pirates.

Bondage and misery would be lovely additions as would ray-guns and space ships.

Just be sure to make the whole thing as believable as possible and let bloody arrogance lead to the downfall of the villain(s).

P.S. try and stay under 1500 words OK.

Gee, sounds simple.

HAH

And I thought Ruby was a harsh taskmistress.

Thank you Mad, and you can tell Lews that I love the Barsoom books as well as the Lensman series. My ghost is a real hero in the finest tradition of both. The damsel will is from Crimmeria, the pirates are from Silesian confederacy. Now I just have to get them all together and hope the good guys win. But I bet you are going to be rooting for my anti-hero.

[Mad Lews]

Rabbi,
I want to be sure you're feeling no pressure here but Mad was wondering how you were progressing. Lews is making catcalls in the background and Mr H Dean is pacing with a knife and fork in hand.
In short you have not been forgotten.
Yours
Mad & Lews
