Write the beginning of an unusual love story (not a real one). I only want the first paragraph. You can add an illustration or a picture to spice it up if you are really daring.Let's have a go... completely off the top of my head...
Katia walked forlornly through the freshly fallen snow. Her heavy footprints left a wandering trail, while sullen gusts of chilled wind tried to erase the marks of her emptiness. Echoes of her hollow footsteps passed unheeded by her consciousness. A heartrending sigh broke through her almost-frozen lips, Katia's young tear-streaked face almost totally encased in a heavy woollen hood of her mothers. Pausing quietly, alone in the deserted, darkening street of her tiny rural village, she slowly, deliberately lowered her head. She sobbed softly to herself, a breaking heart unheard to anyone except the gathered angels.

ReplyDeletegeez, Mal. Send me some tissue.
You are good~ now why didn't I think to employ you as my ghost writer! LOl
ReplyDeleteGeez! Thanks [blush]. Twas just written straight off the bat, you know... I'm actually in a great mood. Sometimes it's just easier to attempt to write atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteMe? A ghost writer for you? Oh, I couldn't possibly do that... I'm not scary enough! [rolls eyes and groans] :P

Hey you should definitely follow this up, there's surely a novel inside you.
ReplyDeleteThat was very good. I'm glad you decided to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteMust be just me. I was waiting for the punchline.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've only just met you! :)
Gawd orighty what happened next to Katia? Would sound so much less interesting had you called her Doreen or Beryl
