The Rules
There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.
OR
No really; I need rules!
Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.
The Prompts:
Teardrop tattoo*
His final words were
He saved us all. Nobody noticed.

I wish I hadn’t read her diary

If you want to share your Inspiration Monday piece, post it on your blog and link back to today’s post; I’ll include a link to your piece in the next Inspiration Monday post.
Happy writing!

*Teardrop tattoos at the corners of the eyes can mean the wearer has killed someone, has done time in prison, or has simply lost someone close to them. Ultimately, the tattoo represents tears that can’t be cried, due to a hardened heart. Feel free, of course, to interpret the phrase in a completely different way, if you are so inclined.
Wow! I think these are the best prompts yet!

I love writing challenges! I have to finish my story for Eric Swett’s challenge before I can join any more. Better work fast!
I can’t wait to have you join us!
Oops! Forgot to reply that I jumped into the challenge (still haven’t finished my ssip revisions…shame on me…better get to work). I chose the Teardrop Tatto inspiration too.
You linked back here, so I got the alert. : ) Welcome to the party!

Finished. That was a hard one, I had too many ideas swirling around and couldn’t settle which ones I wanted.
Good choices!
