Janet Reid's Back to Brooklyn writing contest
I was ensconced with
Her Grace the Duchess of Yowl for three weeks, and then with Intern Ty for this
past week. Needless to say, I'm quite blue at the prospect of being furrless
after Sunday. Thus, a writing contest is needed. Nothing is more fun than
seeing what you guyz do with prompt words.
The usual rules apply:
1. Write a story using
100 words or fewer.
2. Use these words in
the story: cat claw hork purr snore
To compete for the
Steve Forti Deft Use of Prompt Words prize (or if you are Steve Forti) you must
also use: calamity
3. You must use the
whole word, but that whole word can be part of a larger word. The letters for
the prompt must appear in consecutive order. They cannot be backwards. Thus:
cat/catchy is ok, but cat/cast or cat/tacky is not.
4. Post the entry in
the comment column of THIS blog post.
5. One entry per
person. If you need a mulligan (a do-over) erase your entry and post again. It
helps to work out your entry first, then post.
7. Titles count as part
of the word count (you don't need a title)
Contest opens Saturday
2/9/19 at 9am ~~ Contest closes: Sunday 2/10/19 at 9am
Cabin Fever Catastrophe On A Winter’s Day
with Her Grace, D of Y,
when out of the blue
She said with a sigh,
“I wish we had
something to do!”
They did nothing at all
but sit sit sit.
They did not like it,
not one little bit.
“You claw the couch
and hork up your fur.”
“You snore all night
and drown out my purr.”
“I'm putting an end
to this calamity:
Cream for you,
Macallan for me.”
They lounged on the
couch,
their worries were few,
no longer caring
they'd nothing to do.
