Write a story/poem in five sentences, each sentence based on one of the prompts.
And I also wrote in third person, which I never do! Here goes:
The blood gushed from the woman's leg; Keifer shook wet hair from his eyes and stared up at the moon where not two days ago a concrete bridge had blocked the view. The phantasmal explosion had come without warning, searing through the sky like an angry star with a death wish. He shuddered, watching the children dig through the resulting debris. Two days ago those same children had been playing soccer on this very street. The woman moaned and grappled at her leg, and Keifer wished he could reverse it somehow, that he could capture the explosion before it happened.
First sentence: Prompt 1
Two people are sitting together under the remains of a concrete bridge. Their backs are against a rusted bridge support. One person's leg is cut. The other person has wet hair.
Second sentence: Prompt 5
Third sentence: Prompt 4
Fourth sentence: Prompt 2
Fifth sentence: Prompt 3

That was pretty challenging - great job!
Cort, that was awesome. Way to go with the 3rd! I've never written that either, LOL. ;) "Liked" ;)
Wow, great job! I'd say you nailed that challenge!
My head hurts trying to figure out how you took all of that and came up with what you did. Bravo! That was awesome :) I love the last sentence.
Good job! I especially liked the imagery in you entry!

Great job - and with those prompts!
OOOH! Fantabulous job! I love it! You are a fantastic writer. The more I read of your stuff, the more I love it!
I like how you used the prompts....and I'm glad you had a good time in Texas!
Good use of the prompts! (#30)
This. Was. Awesome. Such great talent! :)
It was a bigger challenge this time, especially the one prompt per sentence one, but you did great with it. I loved the "angry star with a death wish" part. Awesome job!
Wow! You did great on that. Awesome job!
Great job getting all the prompts in :-)
This was quite a challenge but you did a fabulous job!
Great job. I thought you did well. ; )

You used the prompts really well! Great job!
Great job. It flowed nicely, which must of been hard to do with the prompts.
You worked those in really smoothly! I especially liked the way you used the "pear" prompt to have Keifer wish he could have contained the explosion.
Wow, that story packs a punch! You fit a lot in there and in such a short space, way better than mine. Good luck this round!
Also, I tagged you in the Write Campaign 7 Meme that's been going around on my blog. Fun writing times!
