*Literature Trivia Week Two - Brief Fiction Summaries*

Postby Bostone » Sun Nov 28, 2010 4:11 pm

Not sure how the first week went but here is a try at week two.

1. Murder at the abbey draws attention from the inquisition. Secrets are found in the library and the whole place goes down in flames.

2. A band of bunnies make their way to a new home while dealing with poison, predators, other rabbits, and man.

3. Our hero does not want to fly anymore. The only way not to fly is if he is crazy. A crazy man would have no fear of flying so he clearly cannot be crazy... Round and round we go.

4. A man meets his wife when she is just a small girl. Jumps in and out of her life for many years and finally dies while she is, again, a little girl.

5. A man rents a room from a single mother. The man marries the mother. The mother is hit by a car and the real risky business ensues.

Number 2 is Watership Down I think. No clue for the others.

Didn't seem like there was much interest and not a ton of people in the lit forum. I know the forum is fairly new and figured I would try to revive this in a few months when there were more members to participate. I also think I need to try a new format. Possibly as was suggested in a previous week in positing one and letting whomever got it right to post the next one and so on. Don't worry. We will bring it back shortly.
