WonHundred Word Wednesday: Close your eyes



Can you believe it's already Wednesday!? I love it! Man, this one was hard, but not for the usual reasons. Once I had my idea, it flowed really easily. But then I had 140ish words... and I really liked it! Made some revisions... 123... seriously? Anyway, after far too long, I finally got it to my cutoff... even though I cringed with each word I cut. But here we are! 100 words! (And then, just before I'm about to go to bed... I decide to turn the computer back on and make some changes... oh boy.)

 Today's prompt: "No matter what you hear, no matter how badly you want to, do NOT open your eyes."

 My story:
There is complete darkness.

But I know I'm not alone, I can feel his hand in mine. I don't dare let go, afraid I'll lose him.

“It’s going to be okay.” he whispers.

There. A light ahead, growing brighter; closer.

“Close your eyes.” he instructs. “No matter what you hear, no matter how badly you want to, do NOT open them.”

I obey, trusting him entirely. His hand leaves mine. I hear footsteps fading, then… silence.

I wait until I can’t bear it any longer. Ignoring my pounding heart, I open my eyes.

There is complete darkness.

I am alone.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Truth about love


It's Wednesday! Man, these last few have been hard for me for some reason. It's just hard to get my brain going. But I like where this one ended up, and I hope you do too! 

Prompt: The truth about love is...

My story:


She gave it away first before she even knew she was doing it. It was an automatic response to those who gave it to her. As she learned and grew, she gave it away more carefully, choosing to give it to those closest to her. She promised to give it forever with an exchange of rings. When she first held each tiny, wiggling bundle of joy, she gave away more than she knew she had. Though she gave and gave, she never ran out, because the truth about love is the more you give it away, the more it grows.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Box in the attic


So I realize it's Thursday... but Wednesday was just not happening for me for some reason. The day just went funny. Anyway, I finally got around to writing and posting this week's prompt! It's kind of ended up as a continuation of last week's story. :) Hope you enjoy!

Prompt: You find a box in the attic that isn't yours"


He balanced the heavy box carefully as he pushed open the attic door with his foot. The wedding fast approaching, they had finally finished moving her things into his home. He rearranged a few boxes, stabilizing the pile. He set a shoe box on top and flipped the lid open, curious what was inside. He smiled as he lifted snapshots out one by one, memories from their first days. Then… telephoto pictures, pages of detailed information, all about him. He heard her footsteps on the stairs, grasped the papers in his fist and turned to face her.

“What is this?”


Check out what everyone else did too!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: What they say


Whew... this one was hard for me. First it took me forever to decide on what direction to go. And even then it took a while to confine my thoughts to only 100 words. Anyway, without further ado... my 100 word story:


He handed me the tiny velvet box as we sat in his Porsche.

“You know what they say: Good things come in small packages.”

I opened the box and was amazed to see the sparkling diamond inside. Feelings of relief and pure joy soared through me. I succeeded. The months spent in constant efforts to win his affection, his trust, were worth the prize. My employer would be pleased, very pleased.

“Yes,” I agreed, thinking of the briefcases full of cash I would earn in exchange for the information I would pass on. “But better things come in big ones.”


Let me know what you think in the comments, and as always, be sure to check out the other writer's stories. (I've read them already, they are great and all take such different directions!)
