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.

Neal, Peter -- Loose ends, In the red

Intellectually, Neal knew that all his cons and crimes couldn’t have been victimless, but he never quite realized what that meant until they got this new case; there’s this girl that Neal has never seen before, but when she speaks about a heist in a certain museum seven years ago that cost both her and her husband their jobs and then their house when they couldn’t pay the mortgage, Neal starts feeling sick; when she tells them about the debts that caused more debts that finally led her to commit the crime, he feels even sicker, and so he stands up and asks to be excused, except Peter clutches his arm in an iron grip, pulls him down and makes sure that he WILL listen; and though the interrogation is barely halfway done, Neal already knows things will never be quite the same.

Prompts:
Balance
Hat
Whipped cream
Rubic cube
Mommy
Daddy

Nicely done! Because we all know that it doesn't really matter if you only target "rich, deserving" types, there's always a little guy getting squeezed.
I remember the flashback episode, where Kate and Neal dress up as cops and steal some painting from a delivery guy with Mozzie's help; and I couldn't help but think "there goes your job, mister" at the poor, hapless driver.

This is exactly what should happen in the show.
