Sue’s #writephoto prompt this week…
It wasn’t often that she got to the beach ahead of the rest of the crowds, but today was one of those days. The morning mists were just clearing, and the sun was starting to shine.
Looking at the empty run of golden sand, with the tufts of green grass inviting her to sit, she took a step forward.
Then stopped.
Those shadows.
Glancing to her right, she expected to see other standing there. Drat, she wasn’t the first after all.
But there was no one there. The whole beach was empty.
Yet the shadows remained.
And they appeared to be moving towards her.
Footprints appeared in the sand.
She needed no other warning.
Tightening her grip on her beach bag, she sped off, screaming to no one in particular.

Sacha’s back with a special prompt.. because, erm, well, she is getting a little more, ahem, mature 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 is a rather significant week for me so let’s theme the writespiration accordingly. This week, your prompt is:
Tomorrow is THE DAY!
Tomorrow it will all change,
Finally I’ll go from child to adult
My opinions will count.
I can do whatever I want!
It’s here!
…nothing’s changed…
Mum’s still nagging me to get up.
I still have to go to college.
So much for my big birthday.
Eighteen? Over-rated!

Wednesday means it’s #writespiration time!
Sacha’s prompt this week…
This week, we’re playing a game. *muhahahaha* Write your 52 words describing just one emotion, BUT you’re not allowed to use the name of the emotion or tell me what it is. I want to guess.
I hope I did this right!
Each second passing feels like an hour.
My stomach is twisting up in knots.
My fists clench and loosen, then clench again.
Unknowingly I begin to nibble at the dry skin on my lips.
Looking up at the clock, I almost gasp.
It’s time.
I pick up the phone and hit ‘call’.

Today I am combining two of my weekly prompts, as they came up on the same day!
Writespiration by Sacha Black where the prompt word is Choke. The challenge is that we only have 52 words, no more no less, with which to spin a fictional web!
And
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto, where we have the following photo to use as we wish.
So here is my little tale…
A bridge over troubled water.
Or over hardly any water.
A stench so foul from the rotting debris, strewn into the water, pungent enough to make the hardiest human choke.
But not me. This place was perfect.
It smelled glorious to me, the new troll on the block, or under the bridge!

Wednesday’s here and on my blog that means that the awesome Sacha has set her next #writespiration prompt!
Fulfilling a prompt in fifty two words is not an easy thing to do, but here goes! The prompt is…
This week include the theme below in your story:
The distance between…
Now if you know me, you know how important my Malteasers are to me!… So I give you
The Malteaser Marathon!
One, two, thr… damn, where was three?
Having just got my shopping done before closing time, and caught the bus by the skin of my teeth, I thought my luck would have changed.
But no, one bag was left on the bus!
I ran… The distance between my Malteasers and me growing…
