Finish the Story - Running Away

As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! The yellow lines on the highway sped by in a blur, and we flew through the night, and we felt free. But we weren’t, and we knew it. We were running away from something, and running away was never the path to freedom. I thought about asking John to turn back. I thought about suggesting…

Finish the Story - Reporters

As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! Reporters are trained to develop a sixth sense, a nose for when a story smells fishy. And something about this one wasn't right. First of all, ...

Finish the Story - Winter

As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! The wind whispered through the dark, empty trees like a warning in a foreign language. Winter was coming, and with winter …

Finish the Story - Careful

New week? New prompt! As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! "How did you know?" I asked, not sure I wanted the answer. I thought I had been careful. I thought she …."

Finish the Story - Homesick

New week? New prompt! As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! I've lived in this town my whole life, and most of the time that's fine by me. But in the late fall when the sky fills with birds migrating south for the winter, traveling thousands of miles, I get homesick for places I've never been. Places like ….

Finish the Story - Perhaps a Dream

New week? New prompt! As always, beware the comments section if you plan on writing something, so as to avoid being influenced. I look forward to seeing your responses! Perhaps it was a dream, she thought. Perhaps if she pinched herself, she would wake up. But she didn't want to wake up. She wanted to stay in this dream world where ….

Finish The Story - Black Liquid

Perry and I have been propping each other up on the writing front for a while now, but I've loved seeing some Saucy faces in the comments and on Facebook, so I figure we should get the band back together. Even if just in a small way. Obviously, no pressure to contribute (or even share your contribution if you don't feel like it) but if you participate, I'd love to see your story in the comments! ... on a related note, avoid the comments until you've written yours, just to be safe. I know I can be accidentally influenced by reading how other people respond to a prompt and I'd hate to accidentally squash your voice. Also, these prompts are the equivalent of an artist's sketch. Repeat, these are WRITING SKETCHES. Perfection is in no way a goal here. All we're doing is stretching our writing muscles with something small and flippant. That being said, the first prompt is .... *drumroll please* At first, we thought the black liquid was oil, that w...
