There Was No Punch Line: Expectation subversion contest?

[liliput1]

Shortest Lit story ever:

[the end]

I think my premise would make a good 750 words contest. What do you all think? Kinda goes against the shaggy dog story implication of the title, which then would be a meta joke, which I'm bent that way. No kink shaming.

 

[Voboy]

Newlyweds honeymoon at an island resort. A handsome, strapping young black waiter comes up and serves them drinks. No double-entendres are exchanged. They pay for their drinks, tip him, and go back to their hotel room where they watch Jeopardy.

Could work.

 

[TheLobster]

Girl is doing laundry and gets stuck in the washer. Her stepbrother comes along and helps her out.

Then they both go on separate dates with their respective squeezes. No incest to speak of.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Two hot young nurses arrive back at their shared apartment. They can’t wait to get out of their scrubs. They sit on the couch in T shirts and underwear only. And watch Widow’s Bay while drinking Pinot Grigio until both go to their separate beds.

 

[Seurat]

On the couch, step-mom and step-son get under blanket while the husband/father falls asleep next to them. They eat popcorn and enjoy the movie.

There's a moment of tension where there's only one serving of the Death By Chocolate ice cream left. They agree to just split it and eat slower.

 

[Seurat]

Pizza delivery guy shows up, and the sorority girls ask where the pepperoni is. He apologizes, goes back to the car and gets the correct pizza, the leaves to go to his next stop.

"Can you show me how to make this shot?"

"Sure" <gropes her>

I meant the angles, asshole. Where should I hit the rail?

God, I can't believe my sister dated you for a year.

 

[AStrangeDesire]

Couple goes to see a hypnotist show. She gets called up on stage and it doesn't work on her.

They go home disappointed.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Step-dad walks in on his hot, teen step-daughter masturbating. He confiscates her iPhone and has a long talk with her mother.

So many story ideas should end in therapy and a discussion about boundaries.

 

[AStrangeDesire]

Step-dad walks in on his hot, teen step-daughter masturbating. He confiscates her iPhone and has a long talk with her mother.

Or the alternate version (European based): Step-dad walks in on his hot, teen step-daughter masturbating. he apologizes for not knocking.

Later over dinner he reminds her that she has a lock on her door for a reason.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Too late, a couple experimenting with anal for the first time, realize the that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Or catches daughter and her best friend and just talks about privacy, not about the daughter being LGBT.

I seriously read that as "talks about piracy" on the first pass...

 

[EmilyMiller]

Older sister has a big argument with her boyfriend and storms out, leaving him and her teen sister in the house. They have a discussion about the importance of working through problems in a relationship, and the need to give people space.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Hot daughter comes back from a European vacation and tells her dad she is now a nudist…

Oh wait, that’s @Djmac1031’s actual story

Not just his. I pretty have that exact thing as a current WIP.

I am told that after a couple has kids, this is a bit less of a record scratch than it would be for others.

Wouldn’t know, sadly

 

[liliput1]

Naked Gun style story where none of the inuendo is inuendo.

"Nice beaver!"

"Thanks, I just had it stuffed."

<hands down taxidermy beaver>

Shortest Lit story ever:

"Come on, baby. Let me put it in your ass. Just the tip."

"Absolutely not. Zip up and get away from me."

"...okay."

[the end]

"1 star, totally not believable."

The 'extra help' hinted at in the brochure turns out to be a marriage and couples' counselor who just helps with emotional intimacy, and occasionally with helping a couple realize they should break up.

 

[liliput1]

Older sister has a big argument with her boyfriend and storms out, leaving him and her teen sister in the house. They have a discussion about the importance of working through problems in a relationship, and the need to give people space.

"She really loves you, you know. You just need to work on listening."

Sister ends up being maid of honor at their wedding, at which nobody brings an inappropriate date or gets sloshed.

So my subversion of the trope in My Daughter The Nudist was that, despite some confusion and fantasy thoughts on dad's part, daughter wasn't actually trying to seduce him, and they never fuck. Dad in fact never lays a finger on her.


Most readers understood my subversion of the trope and why.

Well, except this guy, who apparently thinks wanting to fuck your own daughter is the default setting :

Idiotic. What the heck is the matter with Phil (aka you?) She's not a child, and he wouldnt be "exploiting" her, for gods sake. In fact she's far less of a child than he is - she could have taught him so much about intimacy. Theres so much more to mature sex - physical bonding - than Phil denied to them both, with much permanent damage and estrangement, because of his/your thoroughly fatuous (fat-headed) attachment to childish Sunday school mumbo jumbo, and archaic Augustinian control mechanisms. And yet he/you embraced prostitution, and the amorality of all that tawdry, scripted deception and secrecy.
Life is so short, with so few chances of experiencing something special, without a harmful downside.
You've saddened my whole day.
