Mission Story Sayers

Greetings, agents!

This month's mission should be right up most of y'alls' alleys. Even if you're not a writer, it still should be fun.

The mission:

I have three different prompt sets here, courtesy of the wonderful Agent Perspicacious Eagle.

You, agent, shall choose one set and write a short story or scene, including every element of the prompt.

Then post the outcome on your blog or newsletter, if you have one. Otherwise, email it to neverstoptherain@yahoo.com, and it shall be included in a post later this month. (The deadline for it to be included in said post is May 25).

Without further ado: the prompts.

Set One:

Top hats

Curly hair

Jacket

Hidden

Friends

Broken

Dance

Excitement

Help

“Hello, ma’am, I am—” “My brother? Yeah, I know.” “You didn’t let me finish!”

“Why are your hands purple?”

“Oh, just stop.”

And must mention a hose.

Set Two:

Sunglasses

Earpiece

Bluebird

Sweaters

Red lipstick

Mirror

Shadows

Rain

Separated

“Help!” “Why? It’s just a poodle.” “It’s the poodle of doom!!!”

“I wasn’t the one who suggested doing THIS!!”

“Well, if you had woken up properly the first time I had kicked you, I wouldn’t have had to do it four more times!”

And must mention toast.

Set Three:

Fear

Siblings

Laughter

Horn

Blue

Knife

Beanbag

Grape

Throne

“Small fire! I said set a small fire! This is not small!”

“Go!” “No!”

“When I asked for a coffee… I did not mean this.”

And must mention an elevator.

You can certainly use multiple prompts, but only one, with a maximum of 500 words, will be included in the Story Sayers post at the end of the month.

If you have an questions, comment below, or email the ISA at the address that can be found at the bottom of this page.

Have fun. 😎
