Charli’s Carrot Ranch Fiction prompt this week.
March 14, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes a chisel. Use chisel as a noun or a verb. Think about what might be chiseled, who is chiseling. Be the chisel. Go where the prompt leads!
Drop Dead Gorgeous
All the ladies stopped what they were doing and stared.
Zeus sighed. He was used to it.
No matter where he went, the first sight of his chiselled features always rendered the opposite sex speechless.
His mates would often comment jealously about his ability to have any woman he wanted, falling at his feet.
But it’s not all it’s made out to be, being drop dead gorgeous.
A mute partner, who is always staring at him gormlessly, falling at the sight of him, or even dropping dead on occasion…
Not quite the kind of relationship he was looking for.
But I Smile Anyway...

Hard to be Zeus! What a fun take on the prompt (and great use of the word “gormlessly”).

I’m not sure what’s going on…I posted it and it’s not there – do they moderate first? I’m a bit frustrated because I also included one previously that never showed up and one didn’t get included in their compilation email of all submissions, so not sure what’s going on because another did get included in comments (not wrap-up) and got a number of likes….
