THE CHALLENGE:
Write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle and an end. (No one will be ostracized for going over or under the word count.)
THE KEY:
Make every word count.
Hello everyone. Here it is, another Friday, another Friday Fictioneers. This is where a bunch of great writers get together and write a story based on one picture. It is hosted by the great Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, please click on her name to read the few rules we have, or scroll down and click on the little blue guy to read other interpretations of the photo. It never ceases to surprise me at the many different stories that come out of this event. They will make you laugh, smile, frown, scratch your head, feel emotions, and say ‘damn!’
We have some truly talented people, so come join the fun!
This weeks picture:
Genre/General Fiction (99 words)
He stood across the street, 5th day in a row. Today it’s pink chiffon, yesterday it was blue satin, day before emerald-green lace.
With hope in heart, he waited to catch a glimpse of the woman who wore such beautiful concoctions of cloth.
His mind played scenarios of love with the shadowy figure of the woman draped in such beauty.
Heart thumped hard when he spied the window opening. Long bare leg gracefully stepped through, then the other.
He held his breath, as slender body turned, graceful hand reached towards the dress.
Surprise made his eyes wide, his mystery love needed a shave.
The ambiguity of that last line is to die for — a shave where?

I couldn’t bear to see them first – then I’d never know if my idea was original or not. We’ll just have to risk coinciding. Denmother did a similar theme this week – all three of our stories are very different though, so even when we write about the same thing, we are unique (and wonderful) people! Yay for creativity 😀

I read denmothers, hers is very good too, but darker I think. It still amazes me how many different stories happen out of one picture. As you say Yay for creativity. 😉

After this encounter the MC might be thinking it’s a good excuse for drinking wood grain alcohol. 😉 Quite a twist.
