Not Quite Silver Screen

Hello hello and welcome to this week’s response to the six-sentence story prompt WRAP.  I decided to go with the classic Hollywood version of the word, and tell the story of our narrator that just headlined a production disaster.  I never thought I could be so relieved as I was when they yelled out, “That’s a wrap,” after two months of production hell. It was a low budget film, which we all…

The Reddest of Flags

So this week I fell off the posting wagon between finals, final assignments, work, NaNoWriMo, renovations, and an upcoming visitor, I forgot to edit my Friday work, and forgot to schedule this, my six sentence story based on the word valet. Follow our non-specific narrator as they drive up to a place that is out of there league, and realize that this is no ordinary dinner. I knew that a mistake…

Rustling in the Dark

Follow our narrator of no specific gender as they go home and realize that there is someone in the house… I knew that Tom wasn’t supposed to be home, and his car wasn’t in the driveway, which is why I hesitated in unlocking the door.  I could hear a rustling sound within, a hushed…

Neon Dreaming

Hello Hello and Welcome to this week’s six-sentence story, based on the word CAROUSEL. I went about 16 dark places with this, and yes, apparently the word can inspire some pretty good horror, but instead I went to a slightly different place, well a dream really. It’s a bit odd, but for once no warnings apply, so I hope you enjoy! Sometimes when I am dreaming, there is a moment when I realise…

Who, me?

This week’s six sentence story is based on the word of the week YELLOWBELLY, which I managed to shoehorn into these six sentences twice.  This one is about our narrator trying to talk their way out of a sticky situation, which is a complete misunderstanding and doing whatever it take to escape.  I hope you enjoy, and that you get the reference inside. Also PRIDE MONTH STARTS TOMORROW!!! If you…

Lingering Regrets..

Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story, where the word of the week is replay. I had a lot of ways to go with this one and I went with the replay of a memory, and well I will admit, I don’t think this one is my best work, but I am short on time this week, so I will not be rewriting it. I couldn’t believe the words that had left my mouth, even though they had been on my mind for…

The Telescreen is Next

 Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story using the word SECURITY.  This was inspired in part by a half-remembered quote “those who are willing to give up freedom in return for temporary security are deserving of neither”, which was NOT the quote, but I decided to roll with the concept anyways. It’s also based on my experience in London, where CCTV is EVERYWHERE, and how I…

Filling the Cup

Hello Hello, and welcome to this week’s six sentence story, based on the world cup. I know it’s a little late, but my usual Sunday night writing time was eaten by the 3-day novel contest, which I completed (barely) and I thoroughly enjoyed.  This week’s story follows are narrator as they deal with a friendship which is taking more than they can give.  I think it’s a happy ending, but kike all…

Unexpected Visitor

Hello hello and welcome to this month’s short story. This one is actually based on this Tumblr prompt: “God can come have coffee with me if he’s really interested.” You said, shutting the door on some irritating guys with pamphlets. The very next day, God taps lightly on your door, to have a coffee. It’s kind of odd, and if you are super religious, you might want to skip it, because it isn’t…
