Weekly Centina Prompt: 100 Percent
Write a 100-word story about someone being “all in”
Keeping in theme with the recent kickoff of the publication, this week’s prompt incorporates two Centina terms in a single phrase: One hundred per-cent Get it? Okay… okay, I’m sorry. I’ll try to put away the literary-stem dad jokes. They’re so last cent-ury. Sheesh! There I go again. So sorry!
“100 percent” is a phrase we use to mean “entirely” or “completely.” When you are 100 percent committed, you are “all in,” so show us what that looks like.
We want to see stories of unwavering commitment, unending loyalty, unyielding determination, and uncanny single-mindedness. Give us a character that perseveres, pushes past the odds, disregards the danger, or finally catches what they are chasing. Show us someone rising from the ashes, denying defeat, or refusing to give up. Inspire us!
Bonus claps if you can incorporate the number 100 in your Centina! Perhaps that car in your story was going 100 miles per hour? Maybe your character put a 100 dollar bill in the offering plate, or your protagonist realizes it would have been her father’s 100th birthday today. Whatever the case, stop reading this and go type out the first ten words of your story. Once you do, you’ll be 10 per-cent finished!
