“First Line Fiction” Weekly Prompt #14
Ohhh, I can’t wait to see the stories you develop from this First Line!
Hello again, my beloved FLF-ers! How are you doing? Have you had a good week?
Drop into the comments and fill me in if there’s something you’d like to share!
Well, the fantastic stories keep coming! You are such a creative group!
Doesn’t it just blow your doors off that people write such a wide range of stories from the same first line?
And here’s something to consider.
A couple of weeks ago, Arpad Nagy made an interesting comment in response to one of the “First Lines” (“He had never been afraid of the dark until the night it whispered his name.”)
He said, “Okay — so you’re really trying to put us in a box!”
I replied, “Well, perhaps it’s a box … or perhaps I’m challenging our FLF writers to look at it from somewhere well outside the box! Tee hee!”
And they really did. You’d think that it was meant to be only a spooky story, but there were responses that weren’t spooky at all.
Last week, same thing — even more so! The prompt was, “The map had promised treasure, but all she found was a grave.”
