Sacha’s #Writespiration prompt this week:
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week I want you to write about the night you spent in a cemetery
That’s the last time I take a bottle with me when going to visit Gran!
She always liked a tipple, so, I brought her favourite drink to the cemetery, where she was buried.
One bottle of sherry plus only one (alive) person drinking = passed out and locked in for the night!

Charli’s prompt this week:
December 14, 2017 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story using the phrase “only in…” It can be used to tell a story about a profession, a place or situation. Go were the prompt leads you.
There were so many possibilities! I wanted to write about things that happen only in my family, or only in school but didn’t want to offend, so I went for a slightly cultural one!!
Drama!!!!!
A knock at the door.
The man looks at his wife, who looks to her mother, who turns to her husband, who looks at his grandchild, who turns back to his father.
The doorbell sounds.
The boy looks at his mother who looks to her father, who looks at his son in law, who turns to his mother in law.
Pounding now.
Repeated looks.
Five minutes later the door is finally opened by the household servant.
A courier stands there with a letter.
Only in an Indian soap opera, does it take a whole episode to answer the door!

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken.
Ken sat staring out across the fields, deep in thought, as the sun began to set. Mists clouded his vision, as the hours passed, so he closed his eyes and began to ponder…
Did she really love him, or was she taking him for a total fool? He wracked his brains daily, trying to fulfil her every need and dream, and nothing was ever enough…
Maybe it was time.
Time to join his boys back in the dating ring.
There were plenty of other girls out there; take Sindy, she was always giving him the eye. Sweet, simple Sindy. She looked like the appreciative type. She’d love all his attempts at showing his affection.
“Ken! Mate! Wake up!”
“What?!” Joey hadn’t been with him under the tree? Ken opened his eyes in confusion.
“Mate, you are red as a lobster, man!” Slowly the mist-like steam cleared and the silhouette of his best mate became clearer. “You know you’re only meant to be in here for, like, half an hour at a time! You’ve been sat in here for 3 hours!”
It all came back to him… They’d come to the gym for a workout, and sauna, and were meant to be meeting the girls for drinks in the bar after.
“And you need to get your skates on… Barbie’s screwing out there! She’s been waiting for you for the last 20 minutes!” Joey left the sauna, and more steam escaped with him.
Barbie? Kept waiting? Oh man, he was really going to get it in the neck tonight!
To be continued…
