Inspiration Monday: love at last sight

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

 Okay okay. So the “Martian Tea” reference is a pun on oolong tea and the sound the Martians make in Jeff Wayne’s brilliant musical version of The War of the Worlds – a creepy “oooolaaa!” (technically “ulla”) which of course sounds like “oolong.” The album is a classic in my family, so we call oolong tea “Martian tea.” [Listen to part of the album here. Skip to 5:06 to hear the ulla.]

Two thirds of a nerdy pun, I know.

Only three of you this week. Busy, are we?

But these are well worth the read:

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:

Love at last sight
Spot clean
Don’t know they’re blind
Trust this only
Even in the dark

  11. Darn – made it too late. Didn’t think I’d be able to get anything, been in a slump lately. Glad just to get something down.
