GA Writing Prompts - 75. Out of Bounds

GA Newsletter Game: Pride Month Headline
I tried something new. A Dictionary Story is a collection of stories built around definitions in dictionaries and composed entirely of example sentences from the dictionaries. I used the Online Oxford Dictionaries.
Headline: Man behind machete attack plan at gay pride event detained in Hospital
 
 
Out of Bounds
 


This was a sad situation on the eve of our gay pride celebration. It was a blustery winter eve, the sun was sinking into slumber and in the town square, people were gathering for a meeting.

Here, chance meetings and encounters create a mood where anything can happen, even murder. We have laws on murder, but, tragically, we still have murders and killings in this country. The affairs of the town, the country and the outside world means little to them. The site is outside of any defined development boundary. Grey weathered posts, with white ant mounds creeping up around them, mark the boundary. Gates of bamboo or weathered wood will typically let you know where you're not welcome. We were unlikely to receive the warmest of welcomes.

Those investigating the case say they won't rest until the person responsible receives a prison term. I, and all the officers who worked on the case, were utterly shocked at the callous level of violence he used. More than rage, it was a pity that filled me on seeing this callous indifference all around.

You got that from a dictionary? Wow! I never would have guessed. Sounds like a thing I'd like to try.
