Death on the Table: Day 335: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday

in #freewrite6 years ago
Parts of This Story.
1. Dragon Breath


With her little bit of strength, she rolled Peter off her back and onto his side. His arm flings out to the side of him, hitting the ground with a thud.

She had done all that she could to get through the desert. With death on the table, she crawls a few more paces before the lights go out.



She wakes up to a wet rag being pressed against her forehead.

"Quiet child," says the caretaker, "you need to rest. If we didn't get you water, you would have been a goner."

Attempting to sit up, she asks, "But, where am I?"

"You are underground with the lost fairy children, banished to serve out our days toiling in the dirt because of the ONE bad apple that ruined our lives." She tosses the rag into the pan holding water and gets up to grab a plate of food.

Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.

All you need to make a haiku is five syllable on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllable for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super product. LOL
