#55WordChallenge: Week Sixteen
For
those that are uninitiated, the 55 Word Challenge is a contest to write a
story in 55 words or less. Not an easy task, but fun and I have been
blown away by some of the entries. See for yourself, past contests can
be found here. The challenge begins at noon Eastern time every Wednesday
and ends at noon the following Tuesday. Winners will be posted Wednesday. The story is based on one of three photo
prompts. My only request is no porn. I don't want to hear graphic
details. If it is erotic, make it titillating, not obscene. I know that
can be done and done well.
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...

Not sure if it is proper etiquette to post something the same day as the prompt but I'm new to this and learning the ropes!

"Stand, right like that. The sunset in the background just nails it."
ReplyDeleteSimon looked through his camera lens and smiled. The client wanted a photograph depicting a man at the end of his life who never lived, shackled by others expectations. He could smell the man’s sweat, feel his heartache, know his troubled pain. “Genius!”

I looked down the path, dark asphalt dividing lush lawn. I tilted my head to one side, considering. The path indicated that one was meant to choose that route to traverse to one's destination. I was tired of taking the path others meant me to. I strode off to the right, making my own path.

Chained and mentally journeying down memory lanes, turning inward on this lonely path, I ask myself: "Did mom expected ‘this’ of me? When did that innocent smile of mine, her love-filled gaze and all vanish? Like me, every wrong-doer, propagator or of crime and violence has enjoyed this bliss too, once upon a time! Sad!”
