I am participating in the ongoing meme, Saturday Centus, brought to you by Jenny at Jennymatlock.blogspot.com. It is a creative writing meme in which we are given a writing prompt. Using this prompt we then explore our own creative abilities in 100 words or less. I encourage you to try this and see if you might have a little Faulkner in you...The first paragraph below is the prompt, the second paragraph is mine...Peace, and may your pens flow...I look back over my shoulder, squinting into the late afternoon sun, gawking with stunned alarm at the broad rolling muddy waters of the Mississippi.
What am I afraid of? That this dark and murky river holds secrets of my past...secrets that 'til now have only been revealed in the playground of my dreams.
Ohh, secrets? What kind of secrets? This is surely a cliffhanger, and we want to know more! :) Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLove a good "dark secrets" story :) Nicely done, makes me want to read more! Kathy
ReplyDeleteJeff what a tease...now we want more! Secrets!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved "playground of my dreams". Very deep and thought provoking. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteLadies...Secrets are as secrets keep...
ReplyDeleteIn the mind...
And oh so deep...
Beautifully done. Not quite as dark as some of us but you're catching up!
ReplyDeleteShort and secretive...I love it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Jeff! We can all identify with the "What am I afraid of".
ReplyDeleteMy favorite phrase was "playground of my dreams"
Good job!
ReplyDeleteSecrets and dreams. We all have them, and that it was makes this piece resonate with me. Good writing, concise and condensed. Are you a poet?
ReplyDeleteOoo...water holding the dreams...cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the prompt
ReplyDeleteJeff! I didn't know you had linked...I was so surprised to see you here AND it was amazing as usual. I think you are missing your calling...you need to be sitting at a desk somewhere for about 12 hours a day writing a novel for us to buy!
ReplyDeleteReally neat!
The Mississippi is lovely... dark and deep...
Holding secrets you can no longer keep.
I dunno. You're the master of that stuff. I was just trying to keep you company! ha!
