in #contest7 years ago (edited)

Greetings, Steemians!

After my interesting walk yesterday I've decided to hold a teeny weeny writing prompt using the following pictures:

I took these right before entering the wooded path. For a little on what happened next, check out my post Damn, Nature! You Scary!.

I stood and looked at these for a minute. I looked around. 😳
There are 3 houses on the dead-end road I live on.
Halloween just happened... but... I ... just... don't... know...

And this is where YOU come in.

😲 What happened? 😲

Ok, I did it!
Don't Look Up
Check it out!!!!

I feel like this is a little worse than frogs...🐸

Dang, bro! That was a bit scary!
😱

The things that I'm seeing in this neighborhood !! with a terrific invented ending... not far from reality >(

A disability that always hinder me from moving, a freedom to do what ever i want. My crowd seems like a huge lifeless land that leaves me out from the dream of fitting in. But reality struck on me, i may not be ideal but my disability wont define me. The thing that support me would not be a factor to be called ugly. I would not leave it to become perfect in their eyes. But i will use it to support me from chasing my dreams and as i stand in this vast dull land, the sun still shines giving me rays of hope that someday this land where i'm standing would be full of life and be able to be me.

:flexes brain:
Yeah sure, why not.

"Are you serious?" Sam looked me up and down. "You honestly think it'll work?"
"Would I bring crutches if I didn't? Don't even ask how I got them," I said. I knew he'd ask, so I quickly shoved them in the back seat and shut the car door. I got in the passenger seat and lit a cigarette.
"The best way to avoid suspicion is to draw attention to a particular detail," I said between puffs. Sam just drove.
"You've crazy, man," he muttered.
"Maybe," I said. "Maybe I am."

"The local bank was apparently robbed today by a man on crutches," the news anchor said on the radio with an obvious tone of surprise in her voice. "It is still unclear how he was able to evade the police that arrived at the scene within just minutes!"
I was laughing like a maniac when Sam threw the crutches from the car window mid-drive, still sweating from the adrenaline rush. We were on some dead-end street in the middle of nowhere, with twenty grand in a bag under my seat, and not a single police car on our tail.

The End

Is... that what you were looking for?

That was quite amazing!

Thank you! <3

Wow...cool to be sincere

Lol!
:flexes brain:

Yes. This is precisely what I was looking for.

Thanks for entering! Good luck!

This is actually my first stab at a writing prompt on steemit. I normally write from random inspiration. Lately it's been physical pain so... big on creepy dystopia.

Sweet! I'm glad I broke ya in. 😉

I understand random inspiration... and physical pain. 😏

Very touching story, I have read it few minutes ago and I felt like it was for real. Good work.

Aww you are so sweet!




I can wow you with three words. 😉

Hahaha cool! You impressed me at least. Basically you made me laugh :P

This is awesome. 😍

Not sure if i can come up with something creative :P, but ill spread the word

Thanks! I started to write the 'story' as I was walking and then thought it'd be more fun to let everyone have a go at what happened. 🙃

Creative friends

Hi @carrieallen, nice idea for a contest. The photo reminds me of the time when I saw a basket of laundry neatly placed along the side of a major road that left me scratching my head...

There are SO many things like this! It's like... are people 'rapturing' or what? 😵

That's not a 'bad' thing right? I am still struggling with the meaning of the term 'rapturing' as it is used in modern day conversation :p That image of yours is SO cute it makes me wonder if you have a set of 'stickers' for your various expressions...

No... Not bad...

You can google 'rapture' and you'll get a better idea. I just used it like is was currently happening... 😏

It's a Christian ideology, which basically 'sounds' like people just disappear! And how would those of us left even KNOW? Because, of course, all bases are covered. Rule of Rapture: Once you go, all memories of you are erased so no one even remembers you!

Now, about my little memoji gal up there...

I made her at https://www.bitmoji.com/ and you can too!

You simply download whatever app is appropriate and start creating your avatar/bitmoji (I call mine my memoji). Then you have access to a BUNCH of cool little pictures. They constantly add to them.

I use them full size for my posts, but shrink them down to 150px for comments. I also always save them... just in case Bitmoji stops existing...

Here's a couple of helpful posts I made (a while ago, so don't upvote them. 😀) that are SUPER helpful too. Plus, you can see a bunch of my memojis for examples. 😃

🌟Pimp Your Post🌟 A Beginner's Guide to making your Steemit posts LOOK AWESOME.
&
💥 Game Changer! 💥 How to LEGALLY use Googled images!💥

Let me know if you need any help with anything. I'm also on Steemit.chat (same name). 😍

I hate it when I find great posts that I can't upvote or resteem because they are from a while ago :( I love your memojis and yes your posts are super helpful :)

It is a little sad that a specific post may not get seen by the time it pays out (I may have a few of these). 😏 BUT! You can always follow the author and hope for more gems.

😍

You are high up on my CURF (comment, upvote, resteem, follow) list!

Awesome @carrieallen! Can it have some cover art? Im one of those students trying to bribe the teacher with a cool drawing.

Of course! Plus, you should totally just use this prompt to write a whole post with art and all! Then just drop the link in the comment section here. 😀

Definitely going to participate in this one. Will post my entry in 2 days hopefully. So excited :)

Yay! You're like me... You give yourself till the VERY end to make it just right. 😍

I'm always the last to enter contests. LOL!

Hahaha :) I submit my entries depending on my schedule and when I find out about a certain contest. Like with this one, I had a few things planned already for the week when I found out about it so the entry had to be just in time. However, in a previous contest I participated in, I posted my entry about 3 days prior to the deadline cos I knew about it for sometime.

Cool. Cool. I'm not so organized... yet... I'd like to maybe skip a week so I can be ready at the BEGINNING of the contest to post. It seems (on OpenMic and Karaoke at least) that the earlier you get in, the best chance at getting popular vote. 😍

Oh right right. You know I am so amazed at how responsive you are. You are one of the very few people I know here who replies to each comment and that's incredible!

LoL! Probably because I don't have too many to deal with yet. 😉

I do try to stay on top of things. I help a lot in chat, so I feel like I should be available. 😍

blows a kiss your way

@carrieallen,
I'm going camping on Friday, but I'll do my best for ya!
