Words for
Wednesday
Delores from ’Under The Porch Light’ offers six words as a writing prompt – crystallize, morbid, fragrance, cling, instant, blueprint. Why not visit her and see what other writing has been
prompted?
Soul Mate?
It
was a blueprint for disaster. She should have
known that from the beginning. For an instant,
when he said he wanted to buy her some perfume, she found herself clinging to the hope that this time he would buy
something she liked. Short of writing a list of her favourite fragrances or, worse, buying one herself and giving it
to him to give to her, she could think of no way of persuading him towards the scents
she favoured.
Never
the most cheerful of companions, he was becoming daily more morbid and sadly she realised that their relationship
was never going to crystallize into the
long-term partnership she had envisaged. She would have to look elsewhere for
her soul mate.
I love when people can do this, make stories out of a predetermined set of words.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could.
Well done!

Great use of the prompt words.
ReplyDeleteThat's coll. I've never tried a writing excercise like that. I'll have to.
ReplyDeleteThat is very sad... (excellent use of Delores' words, but such a sad story).
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the words.....and she's right, by the way, if he can't figure out what perfume she likes he's not for her lol.
ReplyDeleteI guess it just wasn't to be!!
ReplyDeleteIf he can't mind read the right perfume scent, he definitely must be useless. LOL.
Health and prosperity for you and your family! Shana Tova!
ReplyDeleteA blueprint for disaster...that's a little sad, but a good story just the same. Soul mates are so hard to come by. Drop in tomorrow and read mine.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Well, maybe not sweet, but nice writing. I like the idea of the perfume, that she might have to buy it to give to him to give to her. That says something about both of them at the same time. Great work.
ReplyDeletewell done!!
ReplyDeleteI think most of us can relate to this
And a soul mate would know just the right perfume scent wouldn't he? ;) Good job with the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThat writing challenge is a real muscle builder. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat job you did of this Janice.
