The 10 word story challenge
After reading and enjoying Shanté Nixon ‘s 10 word story, I was inspired. It presents a challenge, but it stretches your creativity muscles too. Without further ado, here is my 10 word story.
- My sister brought her to us, one hot summer day.
- The house rearranged itself into sheer curtains and Downy scents.
- She had long, flowing hair tucked under a red beret.
- She believes in God? A gentle bible thumper, with flair.
- Choir: She wears white. Angels wear white, singing pure songs.
- Mommy no more — Beret is here. A new, older mommy.
- “Yes, Dad’s in love.” I accept it. We accept it.
- Every day is like an hour, soaring on quick wings.
- Years later, Beret-Angel-Downy is smaller with chemo treatments.
- Years later, Dad and Ms. Beret are buried in memories.
I hope you enjoyed this 10 word challenge. Have you heard of it? Thinking of giving it a try? Well, you should. Whew! This took a lot out of me!
