Cinco de Mayo


May is a month full of days both fun and solemn.  We start the month with Beltane - Gaelic May Day at the approximate halfway point between spring and summer, to welcome summer, and end with Memorial Day in the US (a day we remember those who died in service of our country).  Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer in the US.  While not an official holiday, Star Wars fans celebrate their fandom on May the Fourth, usually by binge-watching the movies.  Another holiday growing in popularity in the US is Cinco de Mayo, or the Fifth of May, which commemorates Mexico's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.  Since yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, let's travel to Mexico for our prompts!  Viva La Mexico!  

 

PT Prompt #45 - Creative

Word list:  Use the following words in a story:  umbrella, tamales, broken cell phone, Chihuahua, and couch. 

 

PT Prompt #46 - Creative 

While visiting ancient Mayan ruins, you accidentally stumble and fall against the wall of a crumbling temple.  As you push yourself upright, the bricks beneath your hands give way.  The earth trembles and an opening appears in the front of the temple.  A shadowy figure emerges from the dust.  Who is it and what happens next?

Considering my current story's set in Mexico, and I wrote about Mayan ruins twice, I think I'll skip these. They're both interesting, but I hate to repeat myself. :P

@Carlos Hazday I expected you'd write a poem anyway. Oh-well there's always next year. :rofl:

Me? Poetry? LMAO That's as likely as me writing love stories. Interestingly, one of my main characters turned 45 yesterday and another one turns 30 tomorrow. Something about fellow Taurus men...

Well, I didn't expect a love poem, more a Limerick. Congrats to the Taurus men. I prefer dragons.

I have one of those!

But it's small, takes up half my left biceps.

That one had to hurt like hell.
