Yes, you guessed it. I got my author copies of Deep Blue early! And I’m in the mood to celebrate! For the final Holiday Free Book Friday, there will be FIVE winners who will each receive an autographed EARLY copy of Deep Blue!!
Time to play Three-Word Story! How it works: I start the story with three words. Follow up with three words at a time of your own to continue the story! Participate as often as you like Friday, Saturday and Sunday but not twice in a row. In the case of simultaneous comments, just pick which one to follow up and go on with the story. Winners will be chosen by comment number drawing (based on the total comment numbers on Monday morning) and the more often you play, the more chances you have to win! Winners will be announced in Monday’s blog! 
And now, the Three-Word Story (let’s make it a merman story, of course!):
The merman tied……….. (Get your minds out of the gutter! He’s probably just tying his shoes…. I don’t know. You tell me!)
8:05
am
The merman tied
the smallest imaginable
9:06
am
knot in the
9:25
am
whole wide ocean
10:07
am
because he wanted
10:07
am
in a blue
10:10
am
sky dark as
10:20
am
his piercing eyes
10:24
am
he saw a
10:24
am
ship on the
10:28
am
horizon. Too bad …
10:28
am
far distant horizon
10:35
am
while carrying a
11:11
am
black book. He
11:26
am
did not think
11:37
am
he should look
11:41
am
in the book
11:43
am
while trying to
11:45
am
mend the hole
12:03
pm
in his gloves
12:05
pm
In the ocean
12:15
pm
or he might
12:27
pm
drop the gloves
12:27
pm
lose his concentration
12:29
pm
just when he
12:31
pm
saw a gigantic
12:37
pm
trident and followed
12:46
pm
the dancing tuna
12:50
pm
to the ocean’s
12:52
pm
perimeter, he spied
12:54
pm
another glimpse of
12:55
pm
a great big
1:22
pm
barge, carrying a
1:26
pm
tiny yellow dog
1:31
pm
at the helm
1:31
pm
who stood near
1:34
pm
a pretty woman
1:35
pm
blonde secret agent
1:35
pm
a gorgeous mermaid
1:36
pm
with big, beautiful
1:37
pm
blue eyes and
1:38
pm
luscious red lips.
1:39
pm
tear stained cheeks
1:40
pm
unaware she’s being
1:40
pm
also adorned her
1:45
pm
watched from afar
1:45
pm
she struggles to
1:45
pm
come to grips
1:46
pm
with being tied
1:47
pm
and also gagged
1:48
pm
by a pirate.
1:49
pm
with blue eyes
1:50
pm
who hasn’t seen
2:05
pm
a merman before
2:07
pm
After his shock
2:12
pm
he decides to
2:12
pm
at the scene
2:15
pm
approach the barge
2:16
pm
take advantage of
2:16
pm
trident in hand
2:17
pm
his defenses are
2:19
pm
armed and dangerous
2:19
pm
high and he
2:21
pm
seizes the mermaid
2:22
pm
and dives into
2:23
pm
the deep blue
2:25
pm
sea. She struggles
2:33
pm
to no avail
2:35
pm
and then he
2:36
pm
is suddenly struck
2:36
pm
kisses her to
2:38
pm
overwhelm her senses
2:40
pm
and it works!
2:41
pm
She stops struggling
2:47
pm
and falls in …
2:52
pm
love. Suddenly she
2:53
pm
to his arms
2:55
pm
remembers the pirate
2:57
pm
and starts to
2:57
pm
but, gagged she
2:58
pm
worry that he
3:01
pm
will find them
3:01
pm
catch them with
3:02
pm
a fishing net
3:04
pm
then she remembers
3:07
pm
he’s kissing her
3:08
pm
and the merman
3:11
pm
reminds her that
3:12
pm
it’s lovin’ time.
3:14
pm
and she responds
3:15
pm
rather violently. She
3:16
pm
yelled take me!
3:16
pm
pulls away quickly
3:17
pm
she is safe
3:17
pm
The merman is
3:19
pm
none too happy
3:19
pm
ready for action.
3:19
pm
and rather confused
3:20
pm
yes or no?
3:20
pm
Who is she?
3:21
pm
She looks familiar
3:21
pm
and what about
3:22
pm
Have we met?
3:23
pm
those blue eyes?
3:24
pm
They reach safety
3:25
pm
so they thought,
3:26
pm
as he releases
3:27
pm
his amorous hold
3:28
pm
and unties the
3:37
pm
long golden cord
3:38
pm
attached to the
3:38
pm
around her hands.
3:40
pm
she immediately tries
3:42
pm
tiny yellow dog
3:45
pm
to hold him
3:48
pm
a magical dog
3:52
pm
(At this rate, the mercouple is not going to get any water nookie.)
It casts a
3:54
pm
roflmao (how’s this)
sexual spell that
3:57
pm
makes them want
(LOL! I love it!)
3:59
pm
to never stop
4:01
pm
kissing and touching
4:01
pm
swimming in the
(LOL!!!! this is fun)
4:03
pm
depth of blue
4:03
pm
intense desire. Suddenly,
4:05
pm
without warning, she
4:05
pm
thought about contraception
4:06
pm
(LOL!!!!!)
“Don’t worry.” he
4:07
pm
but promptly forgot
4:08
pm
said with a
4:08
pm
sly grin. We
4:13
pm
shouldn’t worry about
4:14
pm
don’t need any.
4:16
pm
besides, a merchild
4:24
pm
the salt water
4:29
pm
acts as protection
4:29
pm
She laughed at
4:31
pm
her silly nerves
4:36
pm
and took him
4:38
pm
by the face
4:40
pm
and passionately said
4:42
pm
thats one big
4:43
pm
sexy bad smile
4:44
pm
Meanwhile, the dog
4:46
pm
granted one wish
4:49
pm
a combined wish
4:50
pm
the mercouple thought
4:51
pm
long and hard
4:51
pm
and decided to
4:54
pm
wish for a
4:54
pm
postpone the wish
4:57
pm
until they had
4:59
pm
agreed upon their
4:59
pm
desired outcome. Suddenly,
5:00
pm
and tragically they
5:01
pm
suddenly saw a
5:02
pm
giant fishing net
5:04
pm
dropping over them
5:04
pm
which already contained
5:05
pm
a treasure chest
5:05
pm
magical bright colored
5:06
pm
The pirate must
5:07
pm
be really strong
5:08
pm
really want them
5:09
pm
but luckily, they
5:09
pm
swim away before
5:10
pm
temptation lures them
5:13
pm
So they escaped.
5:14
pm
The pirate chased
5:15
pm
on his barge
5:15
pm
closely behind them
5:16
pm
The merman grabbed
5:17
pm
the magical dog
5:18
pm
and let go
5:19
pm
of the mermaid
5:20
pm
the tiny dog
5:21
pm
said, “Let me…
5:25
pm
make the wish
5:27
pm
The mermaid said,
5:28
pm
I wish for
5:28
pm
the pirate’s imprisonment
5:29
pm
Then the pirate
5:29
pm
With a blinding
5:30
pm
flash of light
5:30
pm
flash of light
5:31
pm
diappeared into the
5:32
pm
treasure chest. Then
5:32
pm
the merman turned
5:32
pm
King Neptune emerged
5:32
pm
watery depths and
5:33
pm
said thank you
5:34
pm
that pirate preyed
5:34
pm
for ridding the
5:38
pm
sea of that
5:39
pm
$$!!!@@ piratical menace
5:40
pm
my daughter was
5:41
pm
turned into a
5:42
pm
giant crab with
(LOL)
5:44
pm
huge blue claws
5:45
pm
then she became
5:48
pm
a menace to
5:48
pm
our tiny dog
5:48
pm
so reclusive she
5:49
pm
disappeared until now.
5:50
pm
She’s the dog!
5:52
pm
She can magic
5:52
pm
for others only
5:53
pm
and will never
5:53
pm
The Merman said
5:55
pm
transfor back unless
5:56
pm
(that was transform)
5:56
pm
the pirate disappears
5:57
pm
unless, unless, unless…
(I’m in the UK so I’m off to bed now.
Goodnight.)
5:58
pm
and/or mercouples mate
5:59
pm
Wow, the mermaid
6:01
pm
blushed with pleasure
6:04
pm
Were you watching?
6:04
pm
LOL
6:05
pm
Yes, anticipating that
6:13
pm
you would mate
6:26
pm
saving my child,
6:28
pm
Too bad you
(this is getting addicting…lol)
6:29
pm
stopped but now
(good thing i have to go out later lol)
7:01
pm
it’s time for
7:01
pm
the continuation of
7:07
pm
my secret mission
7:11
pm
which immediately means
7:19
pm
getting to it!
7:20
pm
together the two
7:44
pm
found an underwater
7:54
pm
cave and went
8:46
pm
to make love
8:49
pm
but, then suddenly
8:54
pm
the dog barked
8:58
pm
calling attention to…
9:12
pm
another merman who
9:17
pm
has his eyes
9:31
pm
fixated on the
9:33
pm
many replies she
9:49
pm
silently forms before
9:53
pm
fainting to the
10:05
pm
touch of his
10:45
pm
long slender fingers.
11:31
pm
As he approaches
11:38
pm
The other merman
11:41
pm
she opens her
11:48
pm
big eyes and
11:50
pm
licks her bottom
12:05
am
lip. “Where are…
12:09
am
:rotfl:(how many stories are going on here?)
very very slowly
12:09
am
we?” The merman
12:10
am
we going to
12:52
am
says as he
12:57
am
strokes her coconuts
12:57
am
approaches her slowly
1:10
am
Then suddenly there
1:18
am
is a crabbypatty
1:21
am
i’m seeing things
1:24
am
Is it really
1:27
am
what i think?
1:27
am
a waiter with
1:28
am
a very big
1:29
am
tray of wet
1:30
am
tray of appetizers
(LOL…I think our story took a turn:rotfl: )
1:31
am
including one yummy
1:31
am
i’m just halluciating.
1:33
am
cupcake, so he
1:33
am
snaps his fingers
1:34
am
could lick it
1:38
am
and make wishes
1:40
am
that reality would
1:40
am
for her to
1:40
am
fade away and
1:47
am
never come back
1:52
am
Meanwhile, the mermaid
1:53
am
and the merman
1:58
am
could not decide
1:59
am
whether or not
2:02
am
to escape away
2:03
am
and leave the
2:04
am
mysterious cave and
2:08
am
merman stranger behind.
2:10
am
but scared of
2:13
am
what would happen
2:13
am
what might happen
2:15
am
kept her hesitating
2:39
am
She knew that
2:40
am
it was unsafe
2:40
am
she loved the
2:41
am
handsome merman, but
2:43
am
she didn’t want
2:43
am
was that enough
2:43
am
to see his
2:44
am
was she ready
2:46
am
and was he
2:47
am
really in love
2:49
am
and willing to
2:50
am
create a merbaby
2:55
am
and live the
2:56
am
the mercouple life.
3:01
am
The magic spell
3:03
am
brought them together
3:04
am
and will always
3:04
am
without magic would
3:07
am
make her wonder
3:08
am
did he really
3:10
am
love her? How
3:10
am
could she know
3:11
am
would the dog/crab/princess
3:15
am
bless their joining
3:17
am
unmagic the spell
3:18
am
but the pirate
3:19
am
would return. Dilemma.
3:24
am
Times running out.
5:20
am
Merman remembers tying
6:52
am
something, but what?
7:52
am
It’s panic time!
