WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY...07-17-2024

Charlotte (MotherOwl) is providing the prompts on her blog.  Her colour of the month is pale ivory.

 For today the prompt are:
Harvest
Golden
Moon
Gentle
Cut
Stones
     and/or
Order
Panic
Quince
Roses
Soliloquy
Table

Mary stood alone on the stage preparing to deliver a SOLILOQUY. With GENTLE care she placed her script on the TABLE.  The silence in the room kept her PANIC in check.  Faces that stared back at her made Mary wonder if they would throw STONES at the end of her tale. She stared at the decorative bowl of QUINCE and ROSES to maintain her mental ORDER. She was so drained from worry that she stood there like a PALE IVORY statue.

Mary swallowed and cleared her throat ready to begin. "It happened on the night of the HARVEST MOON. This precious young girl with ringlets of GOLDEN hair ran screaming through the tall corn. The stiff growth in the field seemed to reach for the child and CUT her bare arms and legs..." 

The story continued for an hour. Applause erupted from the crowd as Mary concluded her spell binding composition.

  6. Hi Grannie Annie ... that was fun - I thought if there was silence in the room ... i'd be totally panicked and probably run away! Well done - a great start to an interesting story ... cheers Hilary

  7. What composition involves cutting arms and legs? It's an intriguing and kind of scary start. Great use of the prompts.

    Have a lovely day
