The Wacky Adventures of Abraham Lincoln - Chapter 3

Volume 2 begins, and Redsugar Muse has joined the 100 Words Gang

Lovely. Another person who will make me look like crap in comparison.

Cool!

I told you I'd post a Mustard Man story, but I lied. Here's some more Wacky Adventures of Abraham Lincoln, where I take a famous quote of Abe's and twist it around.

"Four score and seven years ago," mumbled Abraham.

He stopped.

"Ago... or... from now?" he said.

What would the World of 1950 be like?

He imagined railroads everywhere, coal-fired behemoths racing fast as a gazelles from town to town. Massive steamboats plying the ocean waters. Maybe hot-air balloons for every man, woman, and child to float around, narrowly grazing the world-wide web of telegraph wires.

And chess machines! Turkish dwarves stuffed in simulacra to play at any time!

Abe liked the World of 1950.

Too bad that he had to kick some more ass in 1863 to make it happen.

I'll be posting the Wacky Adventures of Abraham Lincoln on the podcast at some point.

Yes, the sound quality is terrible and the filesizes are ridiculously large for spoken material. I'll play with the compression a bit and come up with nice, compact little files that people can quickly download, listen to, and delete.
