WonHundred Word Wednesday: The flame

Welcome, welcome to WonHundred Word Wednesday! I am loving this challenge and getting to read everyone's stories. It's amazing the different directions these end up going.

Today's prompt: I stared at the flames that had...

It started so small, just a tiny flicker, harmless really. The thought had occurred to extinguish it then, when it was weak, but I resisted. It felt good to keep that tiny spark alive, feeding it faithfully. But then, confident in my control, I let it grow. It spread faster than expected; becoming a roaring inferno I could no longer smother.

Suddenly I realized the heat I felt rose not from the hate burning within, but from the unbridled blaze around me. I stared at the flames that began as a seed of disdain, acknowledging the power of anger unchecked.

Let me know what you think in the comments and be sure to check out everyone else's stories too!

Happy Reading!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Fries with that?

Here it is, Wednesday!! If you're wondering "What is WonHundred Word Wednesday?" We are a writing group that responds to a writing prompt each week (on Wednesday), the kicker is we only get 100 words to write a story. Ever tried it? It's a little crazy :) But its super fun to write and to read everyone's stories. These writers are so creative!
Anyway, here is my response for this week's prompt: Would you like fries with that?

When I saw him, I knew he was the one. He was gorgeous, perfect in every way, and vastly superior to those around him. I waited anxiously, imagining when we would at last meet. A voice pierced through my fantasy, asking what I had dreamed of hearing. I responded automatically, anticipating every sinful moment that would soon be mine, trying to ignore the consequences that would undoubtedly follow.

The voice spoke again.

“What?” I asked, irritated at the interruption.

“Would you like fries with that?”

“No!” I exclaimed, horrified at the thought. “Just the burger.” The beautiful, wonderful, mouthwatering, burger.

I had fun with this one, let me know what you thought in the comments. And make sure to check out the other blogs, they are fantastic!

Happy reading!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Horoscope

Wow, I totally forgot today was Wednesday... then when I remembered, I was in a hurry and couldn't post. My apologies. But here you go! Today's prompt is "Today's horoscope: Your prized possession will end up in someone else's hands."

I grab my phone, silencing the alarm. Before my eyes are fully open, I've anxiously clicked into my favorite app. Yawning, I read the words on the screen.

I jump out of bed, still tangled in my sheets and fall heavily to the floor. My heart is racing, I can barely breathe. How can this be happening?  

My husband peers over the edge of the bed. “You ok?”

I show him the cursed words on my phone: “Today’s horoscope: Your prized possession will end up in someone else’s hands.”

“I’m sorry, honey,” I say. “You’ll have to stay home today.”

Let me know what you think! And go check out everyone else's blogs too, they come up with great stories!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Follow your heart

Here's another week of this awesome challenge! This week's prompt: "That's what happens when you follow your heart."

“Follow your heart,” they said. “It will never lead you astray.”

But mine did, the traitorous thing. It led a mutiny against itself, plunging headlong into the arms of one undeserving. My mind called to it, begging its return to safety, but it would not listen. And I followed along, helpless to its drumming call, deaf to the cries of my neglected instinct.

Now I can see clearly, the haze of blind love removed from my eyes. Regrets fall one on another, eager at last to be heard. For it’s in the quiet that I realize, shattered hearts are silent.

Let me know what you think! And go check out everyone else's responses. Last week's were awesome!

Wonhundred Word Wednesday: Fred the devil

As part of my resolve to post more on my blog, I've joined up with a group of writers doing what we call "Wonhundred Word Wednesday." Each week we are given a writing prompt and write a 100 word response. We each post the response on our blog, then share with you, our readers, the links to the other blogs participating. This way you can see how differently people respond to a single prompt.

This week's prompt is "The devil's name was Fred."

Here is my response!

I stared at the man in front of me, amazed and terrified by the change that had suddenly taken place. His kind face had transformed, now hard and stony. His eyes, clear blue and usually filled with love, burned flaming red, and were edged with scorching hate.

I stepped away, “F-f-Fred, what’s happening? You’re scaring me.”

He chuckled darkly, advancing on me, and I knew he was no longer the man I had known for so long, the man I had loved. Maybe he never really was. He was the devil, he was my husband, and I was his forever.

It's been a long time since I've written anything and this was a fun way to get back into it! I hope you enjoyed it, please let me know what you thought in the comments. 

Here are the other author's blogs, check them out!
