Saturday Centus
Well, I've screwed this weekly writing exercise of late...I did one two weeks ago, but I forgot to link the bloody thing on Jenny's site, so no Centusians are aware that it existed! And last week's, I just missed entirely, because I just couldn't think of a way to do that one without dwelling on death. So let's see if we can't do things right, this time! Instead of a word-based prompt, Jenny Matlock asks us to write a story in 25 words, using 5 sentences of 5 words each.

ReplyDeleteWell, I COULD get very picky and say your second line is actually TWO sentences. But instead I'll just savor your words and smile. Well done!

ReplyDeleteAhh, very interesting. And says a lot in those 25 words. Nicely done and very imaginative. I like Sci Fi.
ReplyDeleteClever, and fits your ongoing theme of 'intergallectic-gloom-and-doom'.
