The beginning of the third in a string of long weeks. My thoughts are sparks I cannot fathom into conflagrations. No…my thoughts are classes I cannot fathom into concentrations. No, that’s not it…my thoughts are parishioners I cannot fathom into congregations?

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:
SMELLS LIKE DISASTER*
FROGS OF WAR
TRAVELING SALESMAN
WAKE A SLEEPING DWARF
GOURMET HOSE WATER

Happy writing!

Frogs of war makes me think of this: http://youtu.be/k9KnlFShYGQ
Omigosh I love Sandra Boynton! Have you heard Philadelphia Chickens???
Nope, but now that I have looked it up, I wants it! I only stumbled upon Frog Trouble by accident, as I won it in a raffle and subsequently gave it to my nephew. I love it, though!
All her stuff is so adorable.
Frogs of war and quoting Shakespeare…

Hey there, Steph! I’ve got a couple of stories for you this week, InMonsters – both very short (one is around 250 words, the other is only 25). Let me know what you think!
The Sun is Here! & Wait Up!
I guess I misread the prompt ever-so-slightly. I went with “The Smell of Disaster” instead of “Smell Like Disaster”. Hope you don’t mind too much…especially as you claim there are no rules 🙂 Chapter 5 of my story can be found at https://quest4peas.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/asteroid-rake-ch-5/
I sat on this one long enough: https://article94.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/16sunsets-confluence-v/
“Smells like disaster” made me think of a moment to which I’m sure all parents can relate: https://standinginacorner.wordpress.com/2015/01/30/disaster/
Here’s another last minute entry! Delayed by the Super Bowl!
