Inspiration Monday: New Names

Alright, me hearties, if it please you to take a finer challenge upon yourselves, look no further than this special edition of Inspiration Monday, whereupon if you wish to limit yourself to writing only 50 words, you are welcome to do so.

But, as always, the rules are only rules if you wish them to be. There is no spoon.

But look, there are InMonsters!

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:

NEW NAMES

LEARNING TO FAIL

UNREAL

SHORT ARM OF THE LAW

WRONG VICTIM

Inspiration Monday: Cost of Living

I love re-watching my favorite movies and shows with people who haven’t seen them before – it’s like I get to experience them for the first time again.

But you can experience something for the first time, right now! Several things!

Inspiration Monday: New Face

Look at all these names! New InMonsters and veterans returned! Also, bought even more books at another library book sale over the weekend, so I’m feeling good, though running out of shelf space.

Inspiration Monday: Silent Conversation

I forgot about Goodreads and then was meaning to get back on it, and lo and behold, I actually remembered my login! Now I intend to catalog my entire library! Bwahahahahahahaha. Then back to having conversations with myself about how I already have too many books, no that’s ridiculous, you can never have too many books.

Just like you can never have too much flash fiction:

50 Words in the Trenches

“We’re standing in our own graves.”

Jim looked at Harry, at the rivulets of water cutting streaks down his muddy face. He looked at his combat boots, ankle deep in trench sludge mixed with blood. Eighteen days in a standoff. Rations gone. Ammunition dwindling.

“Yeah,” he replied. “But we’re standing.”
