Aditus - I really enjoyed your story. It was cute and a lot of fun.

 

Jo Ann - Remind me not to piss you off dear. I can see I might end up with my hands full with the four of you. :lol: I don't know whether I should be grateful you leave me out of your stories or upset you haven't included me. :P

I never worry about length when it comes to a prompt. I have seen them turned into poetry and into full length multi-chaptered stories. It is all up to how the author sees the prompt and runs with it. I really enjoyed this Greg. You really had an interesting twist to it and I hope you find other prompts that inspire you as well.

I decided to try this in poem form, i hope that's okay.

 

 

For you I danced in summer rain

Naked beneath the streetlights twirling

On tiptoes in leaves and grass

Worshipping the moon

And you

Always you.

 

You said jump and I jumped

Arms outstretched

Grasping at stars and air

Laughing and screaming

Trusting in you to catch me

But you never did.

 

For you I bowed when you said bow

And crawled across the floor

Your fingers on the strings

And my pulse racing

‘cause you were the light

And I was just a room

Empty and dark

 

You said follow and I followed

Dragging tired limbs through broken glass

My dreams abandoned

Yours embraced

Even when you left me shattered

A broken marionette upon the floor

 

You said love and I loved

Though I didn’t believe the word meant

What you thought it meant

And when you said break I broke

All while thinking…

“You want me to what?”

 

Love how you incorporated that into the ending :P

I guess I should have saved up all my comments for one reply.

 

I got so engrossed in reading all of these terrific prompts. I never paid any attention to this prompt section before.

 

Aditus - your short story was terrific! Ben sure knew what he was doing to get Nick to do what he wanted. lol

 

Greg - it was so good to read something from you again. I loved the story; it had me at the edge of my seat.

 

Layla - oh my freaking God - what a fantastic poem! It gave me chills. Emily Dickinson who? Jesus, you should submit that. Seriously. Better than your fave, Frost. Imo.

 

Everyone wrote such terrific stuff. I really should check this out more often.

 

Markypoo, too funny! ;)
