The persistent dog
Now it was so tempting to write something about a cute furry animal, barking and barking to get attention… but I wasn’t going the easy route!
“C.mon baby, you wanna drink?”
Turning away from the alcohol fumes, wafting their way over the bar, Tina went to serve the next customer.
Jim asked again, grabbing her hand this time.
She leered at her cheating ex, who thought a quick drink would fix everything.
The persistent dog never gave up.

Sacha’s prompt this week for her #Writespiration challenge:
A streaky sky
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Dappled with the colours of the sunset, the sky looked beautiful tonight, Reena thought. She got ready for dinner. Tonight, finally, she would tell him the good news.
Returning from the bathroom, the streaky sky took on another meaning. Reminiscent of the streaks of blood gracing her panties. No longer good news.

It was always Josh!
She’d been dreading this school trip to the zoo, and with genuine cause for concern, as she turned to spot Josh dangling over the gorilla’s enclosure with a banana…

Sacha’s #Writespiration prompt this week is
Pie
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
I hate maths.
Why on earth would I need to know that the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter is always 3.1414 – also known as π (or pi)?
Let’s be honest… I’d much rather be learning about Pie not Pi… Lemon meringue… Apple… Or a nice shortcrust pastry chicken pie….
For Sacha Black’s #Writespiration Challenge!

Sacha’s #Writespiration prompt this week…
This week tell your story using dialogue only.
“So, we gonna do it?”
“I dunno…”
“Don’t be boring, it’ll be easy! We wait until they go to bed, then creep downstairs… and wait!”
“But I’m too tired!”
“Listen, if you want to see if Father Christmas is real, then we’ve only got tonight…Come on! Seriously? Asleep in 10 seconds? Whatever!”
