Writing Challenge
I got this idea from knightofhyn as well my writing drama class I took last semester. Why don't we post a writing challenge weekly.
At topic is picked anyone who wants to write a short story (no more then a typed page) on the topic and see what we get.
The person posting the topic and ver detail on what the story should be about, or open with very little details. The person who posted the topic will pick the person who can post the topic when the next week starts.
This week's topic is:
The main character parents are killed as well older brother/Sister and Brother/Sister enlaw. Leaving the main character with their five month old niece or nephew.
The week will end Saturday September 17, the new week will start Sunday the 18th.
Well that is if enough people are up for this.
Tim

Re: Writing Challenge
I could try it, but my characters won't be very developed.
P.S.
Why am I always the first one to try theses kinds of things? I mean, I was first in Koh's thingy too. Creepy.
Nikki looked around at the wreckage of his home. The carnage was almost more than the twelve year old could take. Tears in his eyes, he began to pick through the remains of the house where he'd grown up. Then he saw a twisted arm with the hand still clenched on the door post as if to run out of the house. But only the arm. It was too much. Nikki sat down and sobbed.
"No, no no no no NO!!"
Then he just leaned against a tree and folded in on himself sobbing as if his heart would break. The night passed, morning came again and found Nikki still leaned against the tree, frozen in a sheen of frost. He woke with a start and bashed a hole in the ice and crawled through it. His lips were blue, and his face had an icy colored tinge. He looked one final time at the wreckage and saw, a tiny form in the middle of the place. Despite his frost-bitten limbs, Nikki dashed over to the baby and took her in his arms.
"Veronica, oh, Veronica."
He hugged his five month old niece to his chest and said,
“God, thank You.”
Then Veronica cooed softly and fell asleep. Nikki woke her up and said,
“No, Veronica, you can’t sleep, you’ll freeze.”
Then he tucked her under his jacket and set off across the frozen wasteland that had once been their home, eighty miles away from Juneau, Alaska.
The End

Re: Writing Challenge
Looks like I came a little too late. Now what's the challenge?

Re: Writing Challenge
*Stammers* M-me? O-okay.
Umm, the topic now is... A male or female of any age under fifteen who is...heh, I'm out of ideas now. Rique, could you just take what I said and make a good topic? I don't know what else to say, I really only looked at this because I like a challenge, I don't like telling people what to write about.

Re: Writing Challenge
A male or female 12-15 in age, one day steps off the school bus and end up on the otherside of the universe
That's All I got, let me suggest if anyone has a challenge to throw it out instead of just having one person a week do it. I don't have the time to organize it like I would like to.

Re: Writing Challenge
Ok, I'll try my hand at this.
I stepped off the bus and looked around. All I saw was stars and stars. I looked down at my feet and all I saw were more stars, but something else caught my eye. My purple sneakers I was wearing earlier were gone. In their place were space boots. "Wow," I said "I must be in outer Space." I looked around to see if I could find the earth, but to my dismay I couldn't. As I turned around examining my new sourndings something caught my eye. I saw a spaceship of some kind coming towards me. I hatch opened and I felt myself being pulled toward the opening. Once I got in I saw a sign that said:
Congradulations! You are the first pearson to reach the end of the universe. Unfortunaly I can't tell anyone about my experience because there is no way for me to return and when I did everyone I know could be gone. So I Grace live a space ship by my self.
the end

Re: Writing Challenge
Sorry... this was written in about three minutes, and isn't very good. Forgive the poor lack of plot. (grins) But I couldn't resist writing a piece for this.
***
Not so long ago, in what seemed an everyday and ordinary occurance, a girl found herself walking out the door through very unordinary rainfalls that splattered and spit at her hoodie. It was a perfectly normal thing to do, walking out the door while it rained to exit to the schoolbus waiting at the end of the block. It should've remained a perfectly ordinary thing as well.
However, it so happened that as our brown haired heroine walked into the doors, her backpack snagged on the door, and the convenient lanyard chain on it snapped and fell off. Splattering down towards the gutter, she whirled on her feet towards it and snagged it up (mud and all) in her left hand.
This should've been just as ordinary as boarding the schoolbus with rain in her hair. Of course, as she was wearing a hoodie, the rain was only in her eyes... but yes. As she stood up, there was suddenly an odd flare in existance.
The land seemed to change around her, the schoolbus growing vague and blurry around her eyes. It whirled away, falling far, far away from her grasp. Faintly, she heard a voice cry out, "It hurts!" And then realized it was her own as she was sent hurling through a silvery vortex into a smattering of brilliant glass.
It shattered.
And when she stood up, she realized she was on the complete other end of the universe, in a mirror-version of the planet she had once called home. Gravity was distorted, the sky was orange, and the bus traveled across the sky as the rain flew up into the gray clouds. Unfortunately, as everything was backwards, the oyxgen level was also reversed. Our heroine, who could've been herelded as a great scientific discovery, had she returned, found that she died of asphixation.
The moral of this story is that alternate universes aren't all cracked up to be. Thank you, that is all. Support your local farmers, buy Canadian beef, and don't drink and drive. The end. At least, presumably...
