Prompt 274-Animal Attack
Have you ever been attacked by an animal? Janna’s bare feet struck the soft dirt as she ran, zigzagging through the trees, their skeletal branches stretching over her head, pointing to nothing. A more foolish girl might have believed they pointed to safety, but Janna was no such fool. There was nothing deeper in these … Continue reading Prompt 274-Animal Attack
Prompt 273-Recipes
What kind of recipes do you gravitate towards (e.g. desserts, casseroles, drinks)? I like to cook. I prefer simple recipes though.

Prompt 272-Bookshelf
What kinds of items fill your bookshelves? Books. My bookshelves are full of books. I have fantasy books, science fiction books, cookbooks, notebooks, dictionaries, comics and manga, yearbooks, self-help books, and even old textbooks.

Prompt 270-Dream
Describe your most recent dream you can remember. Most nights I dream wild things all night long. It’s really a problem because I do not wake up feeling rested at all.

Prompt 269-Parade Float
Describe in detail a float you have seen in a parade. Pressed in on all sides from the crowd at the barricades, Zack yawned. He had been excited when Mama woke him while the sky was still purple.

Prompt 268-Sports
Are you a sports fan? Do you watch or participate? Which sports? As I have mentioned many times on this blog, and as recently as Monday, I was a shy, bookish kid. I liked playing outside and being active but sports weren’t really my thing. In middle school I played soccer because I needed some … Continue reading Prompt 268-Sports
Prompt 267-Twenty-five Things
List 25 things you will never do. I will never understand baseball or golf. I just don’t get it. I would rather watch paint dry. I will never sprout wings and fly with my own power. It’s incredibly unlikely anyway. Would be pretty sweet though. I will never swim across the ocean. It is not … Continue reading Prompt 267-Twenty-five Things
