I sure do love Lillie McFerrin's Five
Sentence Fiction!
What it’s all about: Five
Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each
week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to
participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.
The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for
direction.
This week: CONQUER

"I can't do this," Joseph's fist wrapped tightly around the crystal hanging from his neck, "I'm not strong enough." Steadying himself with his back against the wall, he pleaded with Amara, his weakness sending static electricity to every corner of the room.
"You're wrong, god dammit!" Amara's voice, deep and strong, echoed with each syllable. "Crush the damn thing! Crush it!" she pushed the hammer into his free hand.
Joseph locked in on Amara's glaze and in one swift gesture, ripped the crystal from his neck and threw it on the floor, greedily crushing the crystal with each blow, the Queen's screams ringing in their ears, "Nooooo!"
Azia you have taken the prompt word and ran with it. I especially liked the last sentence...this is something that leaves us wanting more..

ReplyDeleteI, too, have a screaming queen, though under very different circumstances.
Cheers!
