Those naughty Z's

It's the final day of the A-Z April 2015 Challenge


I've just noticed this is my 1111th post!

Alphabet Land is rather unusual. For a start, whereas most places have one capital, Alphabet Land has 26.

It is governed by the Phonetics who hold together a diverse community of Vowels and Consonants most of whom lead separate lives, although there are a few couples. 

C’s and K’s get on well and Q’s can't manage without U’s. There are several P’s and S’s who are silent partners, and double L’s who moved there from Wales. Twins abound there are lots of double D’s and double T’s. 

Recently a gang of brutish Z’s were making the lives of the other letters intolerable so the Punctuation police decided they needed to be kept apart. 

First to offer their help were the Hyphens, who were used to keeping groups of letters apart. The Full Stops offered to call a halt, and the Colons and their junior partners the Semis felt that they could slow things down a bit.

The Z's refused comply so the Brackets were sent to round them up. They were taken to court to be sentenced if they refused to abide by the Law of the Letter.

As a result The Z’s agreed never to congregate in a crowd again. 

Number Land was asked if they thought their promise added up to anything. The Pluses outnumbered the Minuses so it was decided to release them.

Outside the court the Y’s questioned the decision, and the P’s held a meeting in the toilet but it was upheld.

Thankfully all is now calm and quiet on Scrabble Square and Crossword Corner.

That's pretty well it for this years A-Z Challenge! All that remains is for me is to look back over the experience. I'll be posting my Reflections tomorrow before heading off on a tour a tour of Turkey. WiFi permitting I'll post a link on the 5th.
