Thank you, @jacobtothe! Found the sbd, and I'm glad my sequel was prizeworthy again :) Thanks for keeping this contest running, too - I haven't had alot of time, but I'm going to check the other entries to see how the dice were interpreted.
Haven't had time to think about it, but maybe I can turn this into Michael Strutter's trilogy somehow..
Michael Strutters: The Continuing Adventures!
My entry for your contest nr. 7 - continuing with Michael Strutters (but for how long!?): https://steemit.com/storycubes/@marty-art/entry-for-story-cubes-contest-7-so-long-michael-strutter
Hehe, yeah why not? Forgot to mention: good to see your contest picking up some pace!
I don't think we can get enough of Michael Strutters! :D
If I had a billionth of vote-power left, I'd give it to Mike. I'd like to hear more about that ship he was on, that mysteriously caught fire right as he was leaving... I laughed so hard at that.
Haha, awesome, thanks man!
Maybe there was foul play involved in that fire-incident...

I just discovered this contest, very cool ideas as well, just like @robynegg's poetry dice challenge. So glad I stumbled upon this. Thanks for the creative opportunity, here is my entry.

Woohoo! Thank you, @jacobtothe. What a thrill. I am so glad you liked my story. I'm pretty sure this is my first win at ...hmmm... anything. :)... Especially with all the amazing competition. I read/viewed all the other entrees and they were GREAT!!
Congratulations to the winners! :D
(you guys should see trishie's face!)
I had a blast and am looking forward to trying to get into this one as well! Thanks @jocobtothe for all the work!
You're welcome, and thanks both for your participation and your contribution to the prize pool!
Support Story Cubes!
I think this is a great idea. I've enjoyed some awesome art through these things. I don't know how else I would've found these folks, this quick, other than contests like these. I'll be a regular contributor, in as many ways as I can.
That said... I stared for hours at these latest cubes and my macabre just isn't kicking in... I think I'm stuck on what appears to be an old-style cassette tape with square holes? And is that the petcock from my hot water heater?
Not an easy roll of the dice...
Top row: Thought bubble, peering around a corner, and gift.
Middle row: letter/envelope, wand, arrow
Bottom row: ladder, gauge/dial, mountains
trish always says to me "don't try to be funny. you are NOT."
i should listen to her i think. :D
It was around 3 am local time for me, and things can go over my head when I have been awake for far too long, too.
Congratulations to the winners!!! ^^ Thanks @jacobtothe... :)
And yes... I'm in again! :D Here's my entry for the 7th round.. ^^

Here is my entry.
Grandpa is dreaming of mountains to climb
Tommy is dreaming of presents to fine
David is scared gut excited to see
How climbing the latter will be
Will it be magic, will it be fun?
will he be speeding through life once his life has begun?
