I came across this list of writing prompts for May, 2017 on the Writer’s Write page and thought I’d give it a whirl. I’m going to try for a series of drabbles (precisely 100-word scenes) that will flow together featuring the characters from my Adventures with Harrison and Mason flash fiction story scenes.
May 11, 2017 — Juniper’s
(Harrison’s 3rd-person POV)
“Stick ’em up, cowboy.” Jaxon’s finger pressed against Mason’s back. “Reach for the sky!”
Mason winked at Harrison and obediently raised his arms, like a juniper’s branches, up toward the sky.
Harrison chuckled. “Who are you, Jesse James?” Seemed like that was a safe guess considering they were walking out of the Jesse James museum.
“Nope, I’m a marshal that’s gonna arrest him.”
“Good choice,” Gramps said. “What do you say we rustle on over to the Bad Art Bistro and feed that outlaw a burger before hauling him in?”
To be continued tomorrow using ‘chalkboard.’
All the drabbles in this series using the May, 2017 prompts can be found here (note: to read them in order, you’ll need to scroll to the bottom of the category list and read up from there).
Cute!! I like that he wants to be the good guy and not the cool outlaw!! 🙂
I have too much trouble making my beloved characters bad in any way. :-/
Seriously though, I totally understand that! And I personally love reading about cute, nice characters that could be real human beings. Arrogant assholes doesn’t do it for me! 🙂
I might as well face the fact I’ll never be able to write the super-alpha characters. Flawed, sure, but in a “nice” empathetic way. (Yeesh)
But seriously. The hunky fireman with muscles on muscles and the grumpy cop with a heart of gold (hidden deep inside) is done to death!! If I want alpha males I can read MF 😀
I much prefer the nice people. The quirky or sensitive ones. The unique ones. But I realize I might be in the minority, so I’ll be their defender!! I’ll probably never write about a fire fighter! 😀
