That was excellent! A virtual 6. I thought the choices were cleverly made, especially putting Jesus in the list. The last line...Trump complained that he was not invited! That was hilarious! I really enjoyed this post, it is a winner for sure. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

Hahaha..I did not expect that ending. I like how you formatted your dinner party story. I am now afraid to enter because this is well-written and well-thought out. The guest list is impressive, indeed. For me the font size could be a tad larger. Secondly there is no color for this colorful and world renown group. A visual of a beautiful place setting or of one or two guests would enhance this piece. However, it is well-written.

    Good for you! I don't know if you notice, but most who win have both of those things.

I think this is a very fun interpretation of this prompt. Wouldn't it be nice to hear what all of these folks would discuss if given the chance?

A few notes:
The timeline established is a little off - it starts by saying "when Sam Adams died", but many of the people he chose for the party were all around long Sam would have arrived in heaven. Perhaps it's not "when" he died, but instead God had this idea and went to find Sam to help him make it happen.
Secondly, you mention the recording being leaked to the media three times. I think once would suffice to get the point across.

Funny last line, too perfect!

LOL, dang it, I am out of sixes, and you deserve one, but so did the last one I used. This is a great entry for the contest, and I wish you well. I loved the ending, both the media and Trump! Your writing is crisp and very creative. You may get some flack because you only had one woman, but you chose a good one. Outstanding work! Thank you for entering. Terry

An interesting configuration of the rules.

The piece flows well. The images are clear. The pace is good. The word choice is conversational. The conclusion is delightful, especially the last sentence.

Thanks for a good read.
