Maria presents a collaborative literary medblog story. “Many of us who maintain sites that have been nominated for ‘Best Medical Literary Weblog’ for the 2005 Medical Weblog Awards (courtesy of Medgadget) agreed to channel our creative (and snarky) energies into a collaborative effort (and to assert our literary solidarity… or something).
These were the rules: Each story must begin with the same prompt. The total word count must be less than or equal to 999 words. At least one recognizable lyric from a well-known holiday song must be incorporated into the tale.
And that was about it.”
