Welcome to my weekly writing prompt series. The rules of the challenge are simple. I’ve provided two options below, and there’s a handy link-up button at the end of the post, so you can upload your contribution and share it with others. If you prefer to use the pingback method, I’ll check out each link I receive. Here is the hashtag, should you wish to use it – #MelsWritingMenagerie.
But before we get to the prompts, I wanted to draw your attention to the entries from last week. Click on each title to read the full, original post (I’ve only provided a preview). Here they are:
The First Time I Died by Corina Carrasco
The first time I died, I was nineteen years old, and resigned to my fate; the second time was a different story. The first time I was leaving a horrible situation. I didn’t care to stay any longer, even though it meant my demise. That was okay.
But then, I found myself in paradise and I never wanted to leave it. I could see the deep blue water from the high point on the island. The palm trees shaded me from the hot sun and let me hear their fronds tickling each other as the winds made them sway coquettishly. A gentle breeze. Just enough to move the air around. There was so much fruit every where. I would never feel the rumblings of my empty stomach on this island.
The Elf Killer – Part III by Colleen Chesebro
A Situation by Cassie Newell
I died on the operating table…coded, flat lined. Sayonara everyone, that’s all she wrote. Okay, well she put the pen back down but dang if she didn’t wait a good thirty seconds before she jumps starts my heart.
Reasons For Rejection: Rejection Spinoff – An M.I. High Fanfic
“Why? Stella, you can’t just kiss me and then reject me. If you don’t love me then fine but if you do, just tell me why you keep refusing to talk? You owe me that much” Frank said.

Option 2: Fanfiction –
Write a diary entry from the point of view of your favourite character from film, television, or literature.
Have fun!
Thanks for stopping by.

It’s great to see so many entries! It’s no surprise given how tempting those sentence starters are each week. I only wish I’d had the time to take part more often myself 🙂
Thanks, Callum. I’ve missed reading your short stories, but I completely understand how busy you are 😀
I know we shouldn’t complain about being busy with our day jobs but here’s hoping I can squeeze a short story in sometime over the next few weeks or so 🙂
That would be awesome 😀
Love the ‘first time I died’ entry. What a thought. You die, reach eternity, but it’s not. Something to ponder.
