WonHundred Word Wednesday: The pink glove


Welcome, wonderful readers to WonHundred Word Wednesday! Let's get to it, shall we?

This week's prompt: The pink glove lay on the ground, almost covered
My story:
“There, Princess, what do you think of that one?”

My fingers ache from lacing up gowns, but of course, she has to look “perfect.”

She stands in front of the mirror, a sour look on her face. “I don’t know! And it is time to leave! Find my other glove,” she orders.

The pink glove lay on the ground, almost covered by one of several discarded gowns. I quickly pull the dress over it, hiding my smile. “I’m sorry; you’ll have to go without it.”

She stomps her foot.  “Life’s not fair!”

I, her handmaid, know this is too true.


Let me know what you think in the comments, and be sure to check out the other author's posts! Have a great day!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: It was time.


It's the most wonderful time of the week! That's right, it's Wednesday again! I dedicate this week's story to all my WWW friends, but hope everyone else will like it too!

The prompt: It was time. She had fought against it for so long.

My Story:


Minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days. Try as she might, she couldn't wrestle this beast. It spoke to her, taunting her, teasing the corners of her mind. Others had emerged victorious, thus adding to the pressure to succeed.

It was time. She’d fought against it for so long, but she could wait no longer. It was already the midnight hour. She gingerly placed her fingers on the keyboard; staring down her opponent, so small, yet so powerful. Her vision blurred as she willed her mind to create. It was only 100 words. She only needed 100 words. 


There you have it dear readers! Writer's block is an ever looming threat which must be conquered! Leave me a comment and don't forget to read these other awesome stories.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Just one night



Here we are again. Another WonHundred Word Wednesday! This week, I'm taking you back in time to the year 1820 in England.

The prompt: It was just for one night.

My story:


Emiline anxiously entered the ballroom. She saw him instantly. He smiled at her, sending her heart racing. She drew in a breath, steadying herself. This would be more difficult than she imagined. But his future and her reputation depended on his believing she had changed her mind.

No matter that his grandfather coerced her into this scheme.

No matter that her feelings remained firm.

No matter that her heart was irrevocably his.

For tonight, she must not love him. Tomorrow he would leave for London, and she would be left with her broken heart. Drawing her courage, she approached him.


I hope you liked it and I love to read your comments. (I believe the settings are fixed so anyone can comment now, if you still can't comment, send me an email and I'll try again.) As always, make sure you check out the other's take on this prompt. They are always fantastic!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: The necklace


WooHoo! It's Wednesday! If you're new this week, here's what we do. Myself and an AWESOME group of writers all get a short prompt and write a 100 word story based on that prompt. We all post our stories on our blogs, so that you, dear readers, can see the amazing directions each story goes. It's been so much fun being a part of this group, and I hope you all are enjoying the journey as much as I am.

Anyway, without further ado, this week's prompt: She had to find the necklace, before...

My story:


She had to find the necklace, before the king realized it was gone.

Amber hurried through the castle, searching every corner and crevice. Fear crept up inside her.

“Why did I take it? I knew I shouldn’t take it.”

Technically, since her mother had passed away fifteen years ago, the necklace was hers. But Amber knew the magic it held was far beyond her control. She only meant to wear it for a minute, but she’d become distracted. Princesses weren’t supposed to get distracted.

Then again, princesses weren’t supposed to lose the only thing that kept their kingdom safe either.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Key



Ready or not, here you go! It's Wednesday, everyone!

Prompt: Reluctantly he handed over the key.

My story:


He looked up at the house they had planned and built together; thought of the laughter and the memories in those walls. Where had the life he had dreamed of gone?

Back in the car, packed with their 3 kids and all their belongings, his wife stared longingly at the house. He had promised her the world, but with two words, their lives were tossed upside down. First his job, now their home, gone.

Reluctantly he handed over the key, retreated to the car. His wife took his hand, smiled through the tears. “Never forget, we still have each other.”

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Double Dose!

Good day, dear readers. Today is Wednesday, and since I was off having fun on vacation last week, today you get a double dose of WonHundred Word Wednesday. Without further ado:

This week's prompt: My heart pounded wildly

My Story


My hands started to shake, I clenched them into sweaty fists to calm them, but to no avail. Unsure how long my rubbery legs would hold me, I knelt. My heart pounded wildly, threatening to break my ribs. My eyes and throat burned from holding back the tears, though try as I did, one escaped. My ears rang, full of the sounds around me, unable to process them fully. My mind fought hard against what it knew I had to do. But I had to do it. I stood precariously, took what felt like my last breath, and stepped forward.


Last week's prompt: He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching.

My Story


He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching. Usually the first day of school was a little hectic, but this… this was pure chaos. He stood at the front of the room, completely ignored by the chatting, texting, Facebooking hoard in front of him.
Over the sound of dismissive teens he heard it. A fire drill? On the first day of school? He listened closely, then snapped to attention… in his bed. He looked around for the sound. The alarm he forgot to turn off. He sighed with relief, snuggling back into the sheets. He still had three months of summer.


I would love to hear your thoughts and comments! As always, make sure you read everyone else's stories. The variety is awesome!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Home


Here it is again, WonHundred Word Wednesday! In case you're new here, here's how it works: Each week myself and a handful of other awesome writers take a prompt and write a 100 word story based on that prompt. We then post our stories and the links to the other blogs so you can share in the awesomeness! It really is cool to see where each writer takes the prompt.

This week's prompt: "In all the years I've lived here, I never once called this place my home."

My story:
In all the years I've lived here, I never once called this place my home. Maybe that’s because it’s not. Don’t get me wrong, I know this place well, so well it’s become boring. I know I’m not supposed to be here, but I can’t seem to leave. I've tried with everything I have left. But my prison does its job well, keeping me down, holding me in. Every morning I gaze out a dusty window, almost able to feel an ache where my heart used to be. Not even death can free me. After all, you can only die once.


As always, I would love to hear what you think, and be sure to check out the other stories!
