Prompt 298-Deserving

What is something you deserve but do not currently have? Todd stumbled along the narrow rocky path, bracing himself against the stone wall of the ravine. His right arm dangled uselessly between him and the wall. He risked a glance up the trail behind him.

Prompt 297-Comfort Object

Did you have a “lovey” as a child? Do you still have one? Jack gazed out the viewscreen of the wall opposite his bed. His arms hugged his knees tightly to his chest as he watched Earth spinning tens of thousand of miles below, her colors not as vibrant as they once had been. The … Continue reading Prompt 297-Comfort Object →

Imagine your life is now a best-selling book. Write the summary for the back cover. From the time she was a young girl, Sara had always loved stories.

Prompt 295-Eulogy 2

Write your own eulogy. Ali stood in front of a small crowd of people in a wooded clearing that was just large enough to accommodate everyone.

Prompt 294-Summer Adventure

Describe one summer adventure from your childhood. I wiggled my toes in the sand, reveling in the sunbaked warmth that soaked into my feet. I didn’t mind the grainy residue between my toes; it would be gone soon enough. The rough Velcro band of my boogie board agitated my wrist. I gripped the edge tightly … Continue reading Prompt 294-Summer Adventure →

Prompt 293-Understanding the Arts

Is there one of the arts that you just do not understand? Which one? Sometimes I read a prompt so broad I have to stop and think about it for a while before I can even come to an understanding of what it is asking so that I can answer it efficiently. This is one … Continue reading Prompt 293-Understanding the Arts →

Prompt 292-Horror Stories

Do you like horror stories? What is the best one you have heard? Time passes differently at one thousand feet below the surface of the sea. Only the ship’s clock and the changing of the shifts indicate any time has passed at all. I don’t remember how many days we have been down here. Surely … Continue reading Prompt 292-Horror Stories →

Prompt 291-Reinvent Your Life

If you had to do it all over again, how would you reinvent your life? The pain faded with the light and I blinked in total darkness. I used to roll my eyes whenever someone would say it was so dark they couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face, but I truly … Continue reading Prompt 291-Reinvent Your Life →

Lion Around

Spoiler warning: I saw Lion King today. I'm going to reflect on it halfway through the post. If you're planning to see it and have avoided all discussion/criticism of it to this point and don't want my opinions coloring your view heading in, this is your heads up. Whoops, forgot it was Sunday and I … Continue reading Lion Around →
