I worked late tonight, which meant there should have been very little traffic, and it should have only taken me 20-30 minutes to get home instead of 45-60. But get this: there were three accidents and two breakdowns on my way home. For the first two I was angry, by the third I was laughing, and by the fifth I was peeling my eyes hoping for a sixth. And it struck me how awful that was. My petty irritation, my eventual amusement. There were two ambulances blocking my usual exit. I hope everyone is alright. Anyway, hence today’s first prompt.
Lots of great reading last week!
LoveTheBadGuy ends the Colours in the Cave! But not really!

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:
Inconvenient death
I miss the stars
We had one thing in common
Where the road ends
A door in a tree

“LoveTheBadGuy ends the Colours in the Cave! But not really!”
Heh heh. Kinda makes me sound like I cheated, huh?
I was trying to make it sound reassuring, that we know the story will be coming back someday. Actually ending it would be too sad.
Sorry i forgot to link my last piece! Here it is! http://chocolatecookiecandy.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/inmon-touch-but-dont-look/
Gonna write a new piece soon! 🙂

Great ideas this week, as ever. I’m tempted to have a play around with some of the others too. Although I reckon you could also call this piece: “Where the Road Ends”!

I wrote a fiction for another challenge and before I could finish, one of the prompt here became a muse to continue :
