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 20, 2017 — Tainted
(Mason’s 3rd-person POV)
Mason grinned as Jaxon danced around the living room to the 80s tunes Gramps had on the radio. Thankfully with better rhythm than Harrison, but unfortunately to the reverberating beat of ‘Tainted Love.’ At least it wasn’t so loud he couldn’t hear Harrison’s groan coming from the other room.
Joining his husband in the kitchen, Mason set a glass of water in front of where the man rested his head on folded arms. Mason ran his fingers through Harrison’s hair. “Headache?”
Harrison took a long drink of water before turning to Mason. “Please tell me I didn’t send that email.”
To be continued tomorrow using ‘mud and milk.’
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).
Hey! I love Tainted Love!! Best party song ever, I’d join Jaxon in his dance party in a heart beat! 🙂 I’m an 80s girl!! 🙂
I like it, too. I was afraid it would look like I was dissing the song, but it was the heavy beat mixed with a bit of headache that was the only problem Mason had with the song. Sorry, I only had 100 words to work with. 🙂
