This weekend we're asking for exactly 33 of your own words plus the following three words:
- charge
- century
- lost
So 33 of yours plus 3 of ours means that everyone will have a 36 word response this time around.
Three extra words this week? Huzzah!
“ You've lost your damn mind. They’re calling this ‘the crime of the century’!”
Suzanne shrugged. “I don’t care. Let them charge me. I helped those kids and I have no regrets. I wouldn't change a thing.”
BRAVO! this was a perfect way to mix and match those words. "lost your damn mind" is always such a great way to start a story isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI loved this.
Many, many stories about me start with the line "You've lost your damn mind!", so this was familiar territory. *grin* I think I may run with this one. It's got potential.
DeleteThank you for your sweet comments!
Loved her attitude!
ReplyDeleteShe's definitely sassy!
DeleteI like her conviction in standing by her actions.
ReplyDeleteYay for saving the kids! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWho can say no to saving the kids??? Thanks!
DeleteYES! Great job!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Love saving the kids.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Renee!
DeleteLove the way you used the prompt words to create such a vivid scene.
ReplyDeleteeek - hope that conviction serves her well in prison (and hope whatever she helped with was truly worth it, as many scenarios played through my mind, along with the sadness of this week's tragedy being in the foreground)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'm not so sure she's going to prison. She feels like the plucky sort of gal who manages to weasel out of prison time. ;)
DeleteI like this, when the prompts don't stick out or sounds forced. The dialogue here rings true. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteJust Wow! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! ;)
DeleteExcellent! Had to search for those key words. :-D
ReplyDeleteHa ha...I snuck 'em in there. Thanks for reading!
DeleteNow just what did she do?? The words fit so well in this.
ReplyDeleteOh, just a little garden-variety embezzlement, that's all. Rich corporations won't miss a few million, right?
DeleteThanks!
this is great . . . leaves me wanting for ore.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It left me wanting to write more, so I think that Suzanne will definitely be back!
Delete*more (Silly fingers)
ReplyDeleteI have silly fingers too. ;)
DeleteI like the start "Have you lost your mind?" When I taught school, I would have a student on occasion to ask me if I was crazy. I was always tempted to say, "You better do what I say, I could be." lol Good job with the prompt.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like she has her priorities in the right order.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
Nicely done!! I want to read the rest of Suzanne's story!
ReplyDeleteLove how intense and passionate this piece is. Definitely piqued my interest. Great use of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the prompt Nenna!loved the defiant attitude of the protagonist here:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI love this one.
ReplyDeleteLove defiance with a shrug. Great post!
