The tennis courts basked in the afternoon sun, the warm rays reminiscent of a dream of spring. The familiar sound of that small green leather balls hitting the sweet spot of the rackets filled the air as I lined up slowly waiting my turn. "Do you want to pair with me?" I hear a soft voice ask me as I turned my head...

[WP] Story of a moment.
-098 One thinks a moment is a personal experience, but a moment can change everything. A bullet fired at a celebration, in its savage and terrifying flight into the heavens, experiences a moment that changes everything about it. It goes up and up and up, but at some point, it slows, and though the moment is brief, it ...

[WP] The flu virus mutates to the point where it is lethal on contact.
Everybody thought it was a common flu, but overnight, half of the world had gone dark as they die while asleep, on the bed and without knowing what hit them. The mutation of virus was so sudden and so unify, one would think that someone or something had planned this.

[WP] Describe to me a beautiful sunset.
The shine of the sun glistened off her dark hair, reflected itself in her glasses, and bronzed her skin. As it set, we watched the surf crash in. Words were not needed. I knew it was one of the best moments of my life.

[WP] Describe to me a beautiful sunset.
We had spent a few hours trekking up the foothills to reach it, to see what we had been promised. Trudging through the mud and overgrowth we bitched and moaned, but we still moved on, upwards and towards where we had met three years prior. When we arrived not much had changed, the same trodden grass, the same broken pi...

[WP] Describe to me a beautiful sunset.
It was the highest hill that we sat on, surrounded by golden grass and lazy flowers, bright in the final rays. I sat by myself, yet nature was here. Together, we reminisced the hours of the day, spent relaxing under the great oak and splashing in the small creek. Nature's soft breeze caressed my hair, hugging me gently...

[WP] Write from the point of view of an inanimate object
As a side table I see many interesting things. I'm used to hold important things for the humans, a plate of food, a drink, and the lamp. Now other furniture in the house would have you believe I'm not as important as say the dining room table, or the recliner but that's just their opinion. I don't want water and food s...

[WP] Write from the point of view of an inanimate object
The shaking began, getting more and more violent. I tried to hold on to the ground, but with smooth sides and no limbs, I was jounced around with my fellow objects. We knocked heads and bums and sides and backs and prayed that we would stay on the road. Suddenly, we were all compressed down, squished under the hard, cr...

[WP] trouble is brewing when a man comes pounding on another man's trailer.
A burly man saunters up to the door, his eyes shifting side to side, looking for anything else suspicious. It's open, and he knows not to walk in. He strikes a heavy blow on the door jamb, another in quick succession, plus one more for good measure. "Oi, who is it?" Comes a voice from inside the trailer, followed by c...

[EU] Describe an existing character while he/she is walking downtown, make other people guess who the character is.
People kept staring. Their eyes opened wide when they saw him, the expressions on their faces clear; they could not fathom that he was real, live in the flesh, in front of them. He rubbed the scar on his forehead- it always worried him when it itched. It made him feel like he could fall apart at any moment. As he con...

[EU] Describe an existing character while he/she is walking downtown, make other people guess who the character is.
At six feet, five inches tall, he was easily the tallest person sitting on this bus. "You're not from this town, are you? I can tell. Where are you from?" He looks over at the person speaking. Observant as he is, he notices the bruises on her arm, hidden by the long jacket. "Who hit you?" "No one. Why?" She says def...

[EU] Describe an existing character while he/she is walking downtown, make other people guess who the character is.
He walks with purpose and is not distracted by anything going on in the busy street. Cool eyes scan the horizon for his destination, willfully ignoring the women beckoning him into the massage parlors and alleyways. One eyebrow cocks in restrained indignance to even be offered such wantonness. His green-tinged skin a...

"A pint of London Pride please." "Right you are. Here you go. That'll be 5 pounds." "Thanks. Do you mind if I sit at the bar? I'm waiting for a friend." "Not a problem. Odd seeing someone as young as you here, in this establishment." "How's that then?" "Well. This corner of town is mostly occupied by those...

[WP] A bartender telling a newcomer the stories of the regulars and why they come to the bar.
I walked in and saddled up to the seat closest to the door. The sun shined through the windows, but the sky was bruised by the dusk. At the end of the bar furthest from the door, I could see a man reading the paper and frowning. Past the man, on the service side of the bar, was a door to what had to be the kitchen. ...

[WP] A bartender telling a newcomer the stories of the regulars and why they come to the bar.
The young man looked up from his breakfast to see an unusual stand off happening up at the bar. The barmaid who was maybe in her late teens or early twenties was casually leaning against the bar occasionally glancing at the clock. She wore the kind of bored expression that told him she had seen many mornings like that...
