Happy Friday, Y'all!!!!! Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend, I know I am! To help start your weekend off right, it's time for some new prompts. Hopefully one of these great prompts will inspire you, and don't forget to share your responses (at least a link) so that they can possibly be featured next week. Also, as always, remember that prompt responses under 1K have to be posted as part of a collection.

 


 

Prompt 552 – Creative
Tag – End of the world
Due to a lack of humanity, the world was a lot less forgiving. New strains of diseases, ones thought to have been eradicated, have come back stronger and with no vaccine. People everywhere are dying. How are you going to survive the end of the world.

 

Prompt 553 – Creative
Tag – List of Words
Use the following words in a story – a dvd, a blanket, library card, a book, and a dagger.

 


 

Last weeks Prompt #550 had a lot of responses, lets take a look.

 


 

Prompts 2017 by Cazpedroso

 

“There is no way I’m wearing that!” Dereck snapped.

 

Chris looked at the costume he was holding then back at his furious looking partner. “Why not?”

 

“I’ll look like an idiot. That’s why not!”

 

“But, it’s couples costume night. We’re supposed to either dress in matching costume or as a famous couple. If you don’t like this what about, Tweedle-dumb and Tweedle-dee? They’d be less revealing if that’s the problem.”

"There is no way I’m wearing that!"

 

The comm crackled, "Come on Bobby, you have to. There's too much damage. Most of the ship is open to vacuum."

 

"I can't. I've got claustrophobia. I'll go nuts in there."

 

"Look- you've got to do it. Containment is breaking down on the #3 Fusion plant. We lose that and this wreck will become a mini supernova. You've got to get out of there."

“There is no way I'm wearing that!”

 

Geoff stared in disbelief at the sartorial monstrosity Helen was offering him. She laughed at him although with some sympathy.

 

“Geoff, what else are you gonna wear for the gig this evening?”

 

He backed away from her slightly, still unable to take his eyes off … it.

“There is no way I’m wearing that!”

 

“Why not?”

 

Max snorted at his best friend, and turned away.

 

“Because it’s two sizes too small, and it’s blue.”

 


 

Prompt #550 by Hunter Bartholomew

 

“There is no way I’m wearing that!”

 

“Why not?”

 

“Because!” Marcus waved at the contraption as if the gesture was explanation enough.

 

“What?” Andy flipped the black cotton vest back and forth, inspecting it for defects. “What’s wrong with it?”

 


 

Prompt #550 by Greg_A

 

“There is no way I’m wearing that!” I growled, glaring at Alex.

 

“Why not?” Alex asked with a grin on his face letting me know he knew perfectly well why not. “I know you normally like blue, but I thought you’d look good in green. Well, green and black.”

 

“The color is not the point,” I hissed with my teeth clenched. “I’m not wearing that thing!”

 

“Why?” Alex asked again, his voice getting a little defensive. “What’s wrong with it?”

 


 

Plan by JohnAR

 

“There is no way I’m wearing that!” The wind carried the protesting voice up to his terrace.

 

She cried in his arms.

 

He might be Fate, but he couldn’t make the world silent to comfort his goddess. Even if her child had died.

 

“Come on, you’re not in Alabama. This is Greece. Speedos are normal here.”
