I didn't see a thread around for this, but I generally when I find my way to the writers nook of a forum I try and find one.
oneword.com is a fun little daily prompt side for those of you who aren't on there. It's not too serious, you get 60 seconds every day with a new prompt to write out a quick little piece and then submit it. :] I think it's amazing for keeping your creative juices flowing.
So I figure we could have a little collection of short stories here, and maybe they'll spark a huge story for you. The pieces of course aren't meant for serious critique but I think it'd be fun to put together a little random prose. (or if you want to link to your user account on there that's fine too).
The prompt they had today was; base
" There's a low thrum that's pumping through her body, or at least that's what I think is happening. She's drumming her fingers in rhythm to music that no one else will ever hear, and probably shouldn't be (or they would be making memories with little blue pills). She kicks her legs over the edge of the square she's occupying, high up in the sky, and as I leave, I imagine yanking her only sturdy base from under her. It is not fair. "
Is what I got churned out. :3 What can you think up? :D
