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.

writespiration-2017

This week I want you to write a story including these words:

jugs, bamboo, nostril and frozen.

Sitting under the shade of the bamboo tree, Becca coolly sipped her near-empty drink.
She looked up and saw the most handsome waiter with jugs of cocktails for her. As she raised her glass to drink, the straw went up her nostril.
Frozen with embarrassment, she looked at him then reddened.
“Oops!”

I’m taking a chance on one of Charli’s 99-word prompts over at The Carrot Ranch!

November 23, 2017 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about Five a Day. It does not have to be five servings of fruits and vegetables. What is needed five times a day? Have fun with what pops to mind for the prompt.

Here’s my take!

Five-A-Day

“Five?”
“Yes sir, five.”
“So, Doctor, I have to take five of these little beauties a day?”
“That’s right. Five of these golden capsules every day.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier for me to just move to a country full of sunshine?”
“If only it was that easy, Mr James.”
“Wow! Shake me and I’ll rattle!”
Jack laughed to himself as he left the surgery with his prescription.
Another addition to his daily cocktail of pills. Vitamin D3.
Sat behind a desk all day, earning good money but not seeing daylight, meant losing his health instead…
The price we pay…

This week your story needs to include the following phrase:

“I don’t believe you.”

“I don’t believe you! There is no way Johnny Depp is inside that café. Stop playing with me!”
Leanne stormed past her best friends, the bell tinkling to signal her arrival.
Only he was there, and so was she, stinking of manure, after having cleaned out the stables.
“Ground! Swallow me now!”

Flash Fiction Challenge – Meshed #CarrotRanch #FlashFiction @Charli_Mills

I’m taking a chance on one of Charli’s 99-word prompts over at The Carrot Ranch!

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, and I was prompted to write something that tied with this momentous occasion when reading Charli’s prompt this week. ❤

November 16, 2017 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) use the word mesh in a story. Mesh is both an object and a verb, which you can freely explore. You can play with its sound, too. Go where the prompt leads.

Here’s my take!

Meshed

Sitting together in the backseat, our fingers met and slowly entwined. Our eyes met and a smile spread across our faces.
It had been a big day today. Emotional, but worth every tear I had shed.
After vows had been taken, congratulations had been exchanged, music and merriment, feasting and festivities had finished, the final goodbyes had started.
Looking back, I saw my family waving. Looking forward, his family held their arms open, welcoming me.
It was then I realised that there was no them and us, but two families, forever meshed together because of our love and union.

Write about THE LAUNCH!

And…
Lift off!
The launch went perfectly.
Or so everyone thought.
Peter shuffled backwards, and into the crowd, allowing his shuffle turn into a sprint as soon as he was able.
Looking down at the bag in his hand once he stopped, he gulped.
Shame he’d forgotten to load the toilet paper!

http://sachablack.co.uk/2017/11/15/writespiration-141-52-weeks-in-52-words-week-46/

The Launch, because in literally a couple of days a certain lady named Ms De Black is launching her debut novel in her Eden East Trilogy, Keepers! A YA Fiction piece that promises to please fans of JK Rowling, Genevieve Cogman Trudy Canaan and the like!

She has been literally run off her feet with the organisation involved in writing and publishing a book, as well as penning writers help book, and workbook, and working, and being a fantastic mum, and being the Super Boss of the ABBA’s!!!!

So, no wonder she forgot to fill the body of the prompt post first thing this morning lol! Still, a timely reminder meant that no one went without their weekly #Writespiration fix!

Anyhow, I’ve downloaded my copy…. And you? Stop procrastinating…
