100-Word Challenge: Handsome and Tall!

April 9, 2012 by Let's CUT the Crap! 17 Comments

The prompt this week is to go back to last week’s entries. You are to use the last 10 words of the post next to yours and using just 100 words create a story. It may continue from the previous one or you may like to take it in a different direction. So:

You find your entry HERE

You go to the next entry (if you were 6 you go to 7 etc.)
(I was #29, so I’m using #30 for my prompt from:  Sarah the suberbanite: What the Rabbit Was Late For.

The last 10 words were: But a flash of sun – and where did it go?

Using the last ten words as the prompt you write your piece. The prompt can be anywhere in the piece but must be complete as it was in the original.

If you didn’t take part last week, choose any entry to use the last 10 words from.

I continued again in the vein of my previous challenge.

Before Alice makes for the door, the Mad Hatter blows in. Her eyes pop. He looks like Johnny Depp; handsome and tall. Maybe he’ll take her away.

“Come, let’s not dilly-dally.”

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll see,” Johnny Mad Hatter winks and hurries out.

“No. I want to go home. Will you help me?”

“We’ve a tea party to attend.”

“Not that again,” frowns Alice, “I’ve already heard you sing.”

“Would you rather paint Easter eggs?

“Wait!”

The table is laid as before. The teapot is hot. But a flash of sun – and where did it go?
