Charli’s prompt this week:
December 7, 2017 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write that features a performance. You can interpret what is a performance any way the prompt leads you.
Well, being as I work in school teaching, this time of year is filled with performances! We have the Nursery Christmas singing to parents, the Reception Nativity, the KS1 alternative Nativity, then Lower KS 2 and Upper KS 2 hold their performances of Christmas songs from around the world too!
I am personally involved in the Nursery and Reception performance preparations this year, and I have to say, my throat is hurting from the over singing we have to do, to compensate for the vast majority of the kids who stand and do nothing!
So it goes without saying that my piece for the week would be influenced by my day job!
Nativity
“Come on children, nice and loud now! Please no shouting – it’s singing we want to hear.”
Mrs Keeble started the intro on the school piano, and nodded to the class in front of her.
As usual, there were the performers: the children who thought they were born for the stage. There were the skulkers: the ones who stood at the back, heads down, hoping no one would notice them. And then there were the stunned: the ones who stood there, gawping, no sound leaving their mouths, eyes scanning the audience for family.
Wonderful!
Welcome to another infant Christmas performance!

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken. A little limerick-al today!
Said Barbie to Ken one day
“I don’t want to go that way
That portal looks dirty,
No, don’t get all flirty
If my shoes get ruined, you’ll pay!”Said Ken to Barbie ” Oh Babe,
Just trust me please, I pray
Just through there we’ll go
And you’ll find the snow
I’m sure there’s even a sleigh!”“Just kill me now,” she said
“Oh God, I’d rather be dead
Than to sit on a crate
With your dressed up mate!”
And she left Ken scratching his head“These women are too hard to please
Said Ken, “She can be such a tease”
“I’ve tried everything.
I really can’t win
Is it time to find a new squeeze?”Ritu 2017
To be continued… Will Ken give up??? Has Barbie lost her man???

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 what lays behind a waterfall.
The stench was coming from behind the curtain of water falling ahead of them.
“What do you think, Inspector?”
DI Jones looked at the waterfall. They’d looked everywhere else.
“Get the team to go in.”

A few hours later, three body bags lay in front of him.
What a hiding place!
