The following challenge comes from Janet Reid. Write a story with 100 or fewer words, using:
choice
destroy
risk
sequel
allegiance
Here’s mine:
~No Regrets~
They had no choice.
They always walked in line. They
owed their allegiance to it. Today was no different. And yet…
They felt it in the air. Their
pace quickened. And then they saw it. A white temple with archways all around. A gasp of amazement rolled like a wave down
the line. Entranced, they kept moving forward. “Wait!” a feeble voice called out, “Don’t go
in! It’ll destroy you!” The line
leader hesitated for a brief moment, then replied with confidence, “I’ll take
that risk, no matter the sequel.” He smiled and walked into the ant trap.
Live for the Love of
it,
The Happy Amateur

I’m
still figuring out how to organize my blog, so please bear with me as I try
something different, or change things. I
thought I had a pretty good idea of having a specific theme to my posts each
day of the week, and it was fun for a while, but… I found myself – as much as I
love lists, plans, etc. – rebelling against any sort of blogging schedule. I was obligated to post, when I didn’t feel
like it, and I had to wait until a designated day, when I really wanted to
post. It wasn’t fun anymore. So, I’ll go “kind of random” and see what
happens. I’ll still post at least once a
week. I want, however, to devote more
time to my book project – a middle grade novel I promised to my daughter I’d
complete by her 12th birthday (that is January 2013) – I’m really
behind on it… I’m most probably talking
to myself here, but if you happen to read this, thank you very much for your
interest, I do hope this humble blog eventually evolves into a place worth visiting :-) . I’m also open to, and grateful for, any
suggestions from you. Thank you! Have a great weekend, everyone!
