Today’s prompt is, rather appropriately, about the moment before something big.
It’s the breath before the scream; the crouch before the leap; the blink before the resolute stare; The moment with her hand on the door frame before she leaves for good.
The Prompt
LEAP!
Tips
• Make sure your story travels from start to end: don’t just write a scene, make someone or something change between the first word and the last.
The Rules:
1. You should use the prompt in your story (however tenuous the connection).
2. You must write the story in one 24 hr period – the faster the better.
3. Post the story in the comments — if you’re brave enough.
4. Find something nice to say about someone else’s story and leave a comment. Everybody needs a little support!
