Here’s my own story in response to my “Tell Me A Story Saturday” challenge. Just follow the link to learn how to join in the fun. This week we are writing stories of 25 words or less.
A WOMAN SCORNED
“Annie! You’re attending my wedding?!”
“I’m the planner.”
“You? My ex-wife?!”
“Relax …. Here, this glass of champagne’s just for you …. It’ll all be over soon.”

Tell me a story – any story – as long as it’s your own original work. And as long as you tell it in 25 words or less. Post your story on your blog and then hop over here and post the link to it in the “Comments” section of this page. Leave a comment too if you like. And please remember that this blog publishes only material suitable for GP audiences.
Time limit? Let’s say until next Saturday, June 21, at midnight U. S. daylight savings time.
(If you think you just can’t do it in 25 words, try anyway. You just might be surprised, and I promise not to count the words.)
Ready to write?
On your mark …
Get set …
GO!

It’s time for another “Tell Me a Story” Challenge. I always enjoy the 100-word writing challenges very much, and I take part in as many as I can. However, it’s also important to get good practice and exercise in writing short stories that are not “flash fiction” stories, but long enough to allow for the characters and plot to be more fully developed.
That’s why I generally offer a challenge that allows for at least 500 words. This week I am suggesting that the work can be as much as 700 words and still be acceptable.
Your assignment – should you choose to participate – is to “Tell Me A Story” — in prose or poetry either one — that includes the following FOUR things:
1. A Lighthouse
2. Fresh Vegetables
3. A Wooden Indian
4. YOUR CHOICE of a Gun – OR – a Set of Wedding Rings
Be sure and note that you have a choice for the 4th item. Use the gun OR the set of wedding rings, but not both.
Post your story on your own blog and hop over here to leave the link to it in the “Comments” section. Try to come back and check out stories by the other writers as much as you can.
Any length up to 700 words is acceptable, and the challenge will close Saturday, May 24, 2014, at 12:00 Midnight U. S. Central Daylight Savings Time.
Please remember that my blog is G/PG in nature.
Happy Writing!
