In +/- 20 words, what does Alex look like?
Mysterious, wise and writerly, with a guitar on his back. Of course.

 

In +/- 20 words, who could play Alex in a documentary? (Living or dead.)

C’mon - Antonio Banderas - he’s got the ninja-esque mask AND the guitar!



In +/- 20 words, who does Alex remind you of?

Master Splinter, Mister Miyagi, Yoda...Does the word sensei come to mind?

 

In +/- 100 words, (excluding the title) write flash fiction using all these prompts (Cavanaugh, ninja, IWSG, Cosbolt, guitar):

 

Somewhere in the depths of intergalactic command...

M: Gentleman, we have a situation. An out-of-control Cosbolt chock-full of panicking insecure writers is hurtling across the blogosphere. This requires our very best. *cue music, a shadowy figure enters*

Agent 1: Who’s this guy?

Agent 2: We, uh, we didn’t have time to give him a proper hyperlink. I hear he’s some type of ninja.

Ninja 007: Cavanaugh. Alex Cavanaugh. I’ll take my scenes shown, not told.

 

Agent 1: Does he have a...guitar?

M: Cavanaugh. We’re running out of time. No one can get through to these writers!

Ninja 007: No problem, ma'am. I can handle it.

M: How? You been a Cosbolt pilot before?

Ninja 007: Better. I write one.

M: Our computer can only maintain its link with the ship for four keystrokes. We’ve got to get it under control before literary disaster strikes!

Ninja 007: I got this one. *typing* I.W.S.G.

 

M: IWS…wha?

 

Ninja 007: The solution to all your problems.
