It's time for another of Lillie McFerrin's Five Sentence Fiction. I really enjoy participating in this prompt-- it's really fun to see what other writer's have come up with! Not to mention, it's a nice break from my WIP. I'd highly suggest joining us!
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: ENDING
Hit play and read on...
Janel slowly removed her hands from the keyboard and interlocked them behind her head, a sadness took hold of her as the realization sunk in-- she had killed her favorite character.
Well... it had to come to that obviously :/ what a take on the prompt.... ending indeed :) Well written and fatal... ending!
ReplyDeleteSee, now here I was thinking that you had to use the actual word "ending." And you did it without it at all.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it's any consolation to Janel, engines don't explode on impact, so there's a chance Sonja could be saved.
ReplyDeleteI had a spin out like that a few years ago. Wound up with the rear end of my car against a utility pole. Broke out the rear window and sent me to the chiropractor, too.
But I survived.
Cheers!

Ha ha, I feel that kind of grief when I kill off characters too!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I feel her pain in killing off a character! But how ever much it hurts, it must be done! What an awful way to go though. I really enjoyed reading. x
ReplyDeleteI have been told that I have the tendency to kill of my characters, and that is perhaps true! A part of me enjoys the ability to dispatch with people via written word, when I cannot so freely take this course of action in everyday life! This was a great story, I could feel the car spin out of control and end in blaze, then silence. Very vivid imagery!
ReplyDeleteNever suspected...great write. I am still smiling. hugs, pat
ReplyDeleteI like the twist! Good job.
ReplyDeleteIt was an ending for Janel too. I'm sure however that it would be followed shortly thereafter by one or more beginnings. U enjoyed your piece.
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel that way too when I kill off a character. Sometimes it happens without planning. Funny how even though we are the ones doing the typing, the story takes on a life of its own! Fantastic piece!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I've been reading through your posts and really enjoy your writing - joining up for more.
