White Collar Single Sentence Challenge II is Now Opened

Single Sentence Challenge Promptfest is BACK

Think you can’t write fanfic? Think again, because Sentence!Fest is a fun way to get your feet wet. Basically, the challenge is to tell a complete story using one sentence only.

Sounds easy, but perhaps it is not. How would you tell your story if you only had the space of one sentence? Would you use dialogue? Action? Emotion? Observation? Would it be haunting? Poetic? Sexy? Tragic?

The rules are simple: Tell a story using one sentence. It can be as long as you want it to be, but it must make sense (imaginary points will be deducted). It can be as short as you want it to be, but make those words count. Tell a story that will provoke the imagination of your readers – one they will demand to have the beginning, middle and end of from you – that is the ultimate goal. Here is an example:

Neal and Peter have the sex.

Here is a better one:

When Peter finally opened his eyes, it was to see his lover's rapt face as Neal rode him, the rising sun forming a perfect golden halo around his dark head; his savior, his angel.

Capice?

This particular ‘fest will operate like any other. Take a prompt, fill a prompt, leave a prompt. There are no limits – multiple folks can fill any and all prompts. Use them to craft a narrative if you like, but each entry must convey an entire scene within that narrative. All subject matter is fair game, so RPF/RPS is allowed. This fest is unlocked and opened to everyone who would like to write.

Cuz Sentencefest can be a little overwhelming, it will be co-moderated by myself, coffeethyme4me and rabidchild67 .

Prompts will be found in the first comments below - let the games begin.

Mozzie -- Wash away the sin

[sheenianni.livejournal.com]

They all now have their own private hell and prison – Peter, whom Keller’s shot has paralyzed from his waist down; Elizabeth, who despite the intense therapy can’t sleep without sedatives; Neal, whose prison is literal; heavy metal bars that will be his only view for the rest of his life; and finally Mozzie, who every morning is woken up by the cries of sea gulls, and surrounded by the luxury of his extravagant home, he is once more reminded that not even the whole ocean out there can wash away his sins.

Ouch! Oh no! But also, amazing. Poor Peter and El! I almost feel sorry for Neal and Mozzie. Almost.

I second the "ouch." And am reminded of a comment I got way back on page four or five (or so) of this fest - gorgeous fills like this one make me glad that USA is "blue skies" (thanks to damietta for the quote).
