Thank G*d It's Friday! A chance to relax for most, a time to look forward to partying or time with family. For us, it is also a time to take a chance, for one last dance for romance... errr - I mean for writing.

Thanks to our Prompt-Guru Comicfan, we have two great new prompts this week, The Storm and The Job. I'd love to see how YOU might respond to either (or both) of these prompts. And then, please, share what you have with the Writing Prompt Community!

Prompt 174 – Creative
Tag – The Storm
The news has been talking about a rare cosmic storm heading for earth. They are unsure what it will do. The night it arrives people all over the world watch the freak storm create an unusual light show in the sky. A week later doctor’s begin to notice changes in the plants, animals, and people of earth. What happened?

Prompt 175 – Creative
Tag – The Job
Since you were laid off things have been bad. Bills are piling up and you are unsure what to do. Then you find an unusual advertisement for a job. It states you must apply in person and be ready to start immediately. It also states your pay for the year. What is startling is the fact it says you will be unable to communicate with anyone you know for a year. What is the job and do you take it?

Now - prompt responses don't have to be long, it's an exercise, trying your creative fingers to see where you can take the prompt. Prompt 156 from this past summer was

You haven’t been sleeping right lately. In fact you have been having this really horrible nightmare nearly every night. The only problem is, you are pretty sure you haven’t gone to sleep and everything is starting to happen like it did in your nightmare. What is happening?

Tony803 took up the challenge with

I am in a old farm house that is engulfed in flames. I hear screams coming from the entire building but I am the only one there. The floors begin to vibrate as the walls close in quickly. As the walls are closing in big black spiders begin to climb through the cracks in the floor and cover my entire body. I scream but no sound comes out as the walls begin to crush my body and I am being bitten repeatedly by the spiders and burned by the flames.

 

Just trying it out lol umm how was it for a start?

Well, what do YOU think of that for a start. Let Tony803 know - he's relatively new and immediately jumped into a writing prompt. I think that's fantastic! I think he has an interesting start and may just need a little push to continue, and maybe someone willing to step forward and see if Tony803 might be willing to work with an editor/beta to really flesh out this out idea. Our community has fantastic resources and I look forward to seeing new writers like Tony803 and others flourish and grow.
