The InMon Prompts:
COST OF
LIVING
EARTH EATER
ORANGE JUMPSUIT
UNREAD
SECOND BEST
Stephanie has me thinking about putting this Inspiration Monday
prompt into 50 words. But 50 words are so few to craft a complete thought out
of, let alone a story (though she really did it well). Perhaps I can start with 100 and whittle my way down.
Here's this week's cluster of prompts in A Moment
on the Beach With Bella in at 100:
Bella wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead as she set the
unread, second-best book back on her beach towel. With the cost of living soaring, she did not
understand why there were not more red hump earth eater's shifting sand under the water along the long peninsula,
or why the orange jumpsuit wearing
prisoners were not clearing out broken glass and bits of trash that trailed along
the edge of the shoreline. In her mind it was simple, there were plenty of
things that needed to be done and plenty of people that needed to be doing.

A nice melding of the prompts. Funny, I spent Saturday morning working on a community beach cleaning crew, no orange jumpsuit though.
ReplyDeleteI must have been channeling the scene. ;-)

Lifting books? Tsk tsk tsk, I hope Bella doesn't overexert herself. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAn amusing character sketch complete with subtle reproach.
Thank you Stephanie, for taking the time to check it out. Bella should be safe, she only has a couple books with her.
