He had never been good at striking a bargain
His mother should have known
Better than to send him to market
Never know what you’re going to get

Worried, he told himself these things,
Not wanting to be a disappointment
He had coins in his bag she said should be enough
But no candy or fluff

He wasn’t smart, he told himself, a lie
But he was strong, willing to learn and try

At the markets’ edge he met a man
Who said, catch the pig, and if you can,
He’s yours to keep, but if you fail
I get your money and the pig, tip to tail

Back at home he talked to animals
So he whispered to the pig about future meals
And shook the strangers’ hand
Who oiled the pig with a grease can

The man was surprised to watch the pig
Jump into the boy’s arms…

https://purpldragon.wordpress.com/ gave a prompt and I am responding to it with this. I suppose it’s been done before, but here’s my take on the story:

Writing Prompt # 19 It wasn’t her fault her brother was a klutz and pulled her down the hill with him when he fell.

Jack. Jill. He was an idiot, a showboat, playing up there on the edge, and she grabbed his hand to steady him when he went off balance and started to fall. He pulled her over and she immediately went to her tumbling mode, recovering quick. He continued to fall, believing this was the end. He had just purchased, and begun drinking, his bottle from the soft purple cloth sack. She practically dove after her idiot brother, to slow his descent, but even with her efforts, the bottle was shattered. At least Jack didn’t die. This was just the latest of his…

Why Writing Prompts

May 3, 2016ramblingblog, blogging, writing, Writing Promptspurpldragon

I haven’t been posting much on my blog anymore, except writing prompts. Why?

Well I wanted to improve the quality of the content on here. I’ve been trying to put images with my posts. I’ve been trying to write some short stories. Mind you I have about thirty short stories from april that are unedited because I was trying to write one a day for the month. It went better than expected but there is a lot of editing to do. So I’ve just been posting writing prompts everyday because they are quick and I can make a lot of them in advance and post them one at a time. Also they are fun. Hopefully they are useful and not just pretty. Anyway hopefully I will start doing some regular posting again.
