Now I've found another way, a way which somehow 'strengthens' not only the stories but also 'the message'.
However, they're hidden. I doubt if anyone will ever find them or bother...
In fact, this paragraph in itself is a simple yet essential clue as to how to break my easy, ingenious code. I don't think you will need to be a person with twenty seven degrees to get it right, though. Whatever. All you have to do is try. But do you really care?
On a tangent..what about other writers? Do they do this? Or did they? Without telling?
Anyway, he's a go...on the TIW website...Weekend Quickie 71...

Weekend Quickie
71 - Hidden Within
(The feeling of being tired, winter thaw, hamburger patties
, armed and dangerous little red riding hood - 250 words)
The winter thaw had begun, with snow melting from trees and
small streams of cold, clear water flowing through the waking forest. His
stomach growled and clenched.
"Oh, what I'd do for a morsel of meat," he
muttered. "I'd even go for a couple of rare, tender hamburger
patties." But the hard winter had left him feeling tired.
"Hey!"
Through the naked trees he saw a figure of ruby red.
"What are you doing here?" He saw the flash of red
cross his vision and made the decision to run, run as fast as he could.
"You aren't wanted here anymore!"
He knew that voice. A bullet whizzed past his ear.
"The next one'll be your head!"
No place to run…
"You were warned before and now you're back to feel the
wrath of my Colt M1911?"
The undergrowth wasn't an option, he had to find help.
"Owooooo!" He listened for a reply to the call as
his attacker closed in.
"Owooooo!" A distant, weak answer came forth.
Now the real hunt was on, him on all fours, his assailant
two. There was a chance that he might survive this torment, but his hunger grew
with every step.
"Don't think you can outrun me, you foul-stinking,
flea-ridden old beast!"
Bullets ricocheted off a tree. Without another thought, he
dived into the wet, thawing undergrowth, falling through broken branches,
spouting plants and rotten leaves.
"Owooooo!" The call was close, strong and clear.
"What the…!" His pursuer screamed. The forest
turned red.
..so...did you like the story?
