Free Writing Friday - Angels are Watching
Your Best 6, 50, and 100 Word Stories!
REMINDER: This exercise is twice a month.
IMAGE PROMPT
Doors can lead anywhere. Some are locked. Others are wide open. This one can only be entered by knocking! But beware…
You don’t have to write your story today!
Write all weekend long!
This exercise is intended to help us learn the art of brevity, and in that spirit, here are the guidelines to follow:
Post only ONE story per length. Yes, this means you can share up to three stories per image prompt.
Be respectful when leaving comments. We are all just trying to tell a story our own unique way.
There are no winners or losers here. But look for “the challenge” if you are so inclined to more competitive storytelling!
WRITE YOUR OWN 6/50/100 WORD STORY
First, select the length of story you want to write.
Second, write exactly 6, 50 or 100 words. The Word Count Police 👮🏾♀️ are checking!
Genre? Writer’s choice!
Third, copy/paste your story in the comments. If you Restack, be sure to (@) mention me as well so I can keep an eye out.
WANT AN EXTRA CHALLENGE? If you’re looking for an extra challenge, write one story for each length! Just make sure you let us know which is which by putting “(6-word story” “(50-word story)” “(100-word story)” at the end of each.
I will share my 6, 50, or 100 word story in the comments section along with you!
Lol, I somehow overlooked the prompt. Let me try again:
"My Guardian Angel" (50 word story)
My Guardian Angel perhaps has the most difficult job ever, at least as far as people still alive are concerned. I never care for my health: eating McDonald’s, smoking cigars, and drinking beer like crazy. I'm also a total speed demon. And let us not get into my spiritual life.
50 word story:
"World War III"
World War III lasted for two hours, thanks to me. When both sides activated their nukes, I activated a bug we planted in the system. The missiles refused to operate, to the consternation of the American generals. My friend in China did the same thing. We were saved, for now.
