I am no longer requiring that the story be posted in the comment section below, although you can if you choose. Instead, post the story in your blog, then post a link in the comment section, along with your twitter handle or email address, so I can contact you if you are the winner. Again, if you don't have a blog, feel free to post in the comment section. On Wednesdays I will post the winning stories in the blog post.
And what does the winner get? How about a badge, right sidebar,) which can proudly be displayed on your blog or website? There are 3, a Winners badge, an Honorable Mention and an Overachiever badge. To be eligible for the Overachiever Badge, you need to use all 3 prompts. And here we go...

“Then what did they do?” Lily's eyes went wide.
Wes smiled inside. Even an old coot like him could woo a lady with a wild story.
Alone
ReplyDeleteFifty years ago she moved into the house next door, her dark hair flying in the wind, her eyes brimming with sadness. He scaled tall iron bridges to bring her happiness.
