Sacha’s #writespiration prompt this week…
The Switch
I didn’t go all kinky like my blog sis Judy with this prompt, but the first thing that came to mind for me was sexuality and transgender issues…
Looking in the mirror he smiled a coy smile.
He smoothed his hands down his body, stopping briefly at the waist, before allowing them to undulate over his hips.
Not long now.
He glanced at the fake flowing locks and tossed his hair back seductively.
Not long at all until the Switch…

Sacha’s #writespiration prompt this week.
This week your challenge is to write the most romantic 52 words you can. Turn my black coal infested heart into mush. I need some love to keep me going under the pressure. Bonus points if anyone makes me weepy!
She is a hard task master, that Sacha! If you know her, you know that she has a real tough facade, but I know that deep down there is a soft, cuddly teddy bear inside… Anyway, here is my entry!
It’s always touched my heart to see the devotion of elderly couples… This is in their honour… ❤
It’s the little things that count.
As she sat beside his hospital bed, she reminisced.
The way he held her hand, no matter where they walked.
How he always stood up whenever she came in.
He never said those three words.
He didn’t have to.
It was always shown in his eyes.

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!
