Chloe's 100 Word Challenge - Week 6

Cancer. I am full of cancer. I am dying. My life is numbered by days, but I live it at my fullest.

Two weeks later I was terminal. Dying.

I didn’t need to be told that, I knew that, I live that. I look around at my surroundings. The smell of bleach suffocates me. The monitor that is connected to me fills my body with chemo. An antidote they call it, I just think of it as a postponement to death. I know it’s coming I don’t need lies.

I’m dying. Everyone is just some of us more than others.

The Sea

Sea salt was floating in the air like a mist slowly landing on my face. In the distance I could see the blurry outline of of the Antarctic hills.

As we slowly drifted closer to the ice I could hear something weird and unnamable. But as we neared the the giant mountains of ice I could see.

Lined up across the edge of the glassy ice were elephant seals!

I could hear the seals squealing, screaming and snorting rudely to each other. Everyone piled on deck. In the distance I could hear an old rusty foghorn blowing out to see.

Chloe's 100 Word Challenge - Week 7

The baseball pitch lingered endlessly. The ball breezes through the arena causing Tsunamis of energy from crowds. The batter lifts their bat, ready to pound the ball. The ball floats through the air for what seems like infinity then, meets the face of the bat. The crowd shrills screams for the runner to move. They move their feet quick as lightning and skid over the bases with their feet meeting the mats by inches. They reach the home base just as the fielders retrieve the ball. The crowd lets out an overjoyed scream as the home team is announced champions.

Caged

I am trapped. Forever I would rot in this cage with black iron bars, I feel like a prisoner but I'm not, i'm supposed to be the mighty king of the jungle instead i'm the lonely king of nothing. All I get is torture day after day poked and prodded. I need to escape. Maybe if I dig out underneath the Flamingo cage, of if I knock of the lock of door. If I did escape I would go to this extraordinary mountain where the grass is long and wavy and the trees cast long shadows across the rocky riverbed.

Catherine's 100 Word Challenge Week 6

Prompt: Black, Flamingo, Poked, Extraordinary, Underneath

Frightful Flamingo

Black geese scrounged around for, scrumptious, scraps, of food. I searched around. Suddenly my flamingo toy poked underneath my bag. I slowly backed away. Street lights glowed, surrounding me, every way I went. I ran for my life, taking every chance I had to escape from that creepy, pink, winged, bird. It was like a curse, creeping me out, never letting go of me. Taking all my happiness.

Puffed, I kept running, sprinting, to a safe haven. The jungle protected, sheltered me.

This extraordinary place was my home now.

The flamingo had lost me.

I was safe.

I was free.

My Toy Flamingo

I looked down the hallway, the black staring back at me. As I wondered what to do, I tiptoed like a mouse into my parents room trying to find something to do. I looked everywhere for a toy a game or anything. I looked underneath the extraordinary silk covers of my parents bed. And there shining in the middle of the floor my toy flamingo I took it and found a hole in it. I was trying to sew up the hole when the needle poked me. Finally I fixed the hole and went and played happily with my sister.

Emily's 100wc Week 5 Term 3

Prompt:

Black   Flamingo   Extraordinary   Poked   Underneath

Dreadful news…

I’ve got cancer.

Hours spent in hospital.  

Waiting for the results from my scan. The nurse slowly approached me. I began to feel black and empty inside. From the expression on the nurse's face, I knew I was going to die, I was certain.

Extraordinary news…

I was clear, there’s no cancer in me. I decided to raise money for the Cancer Society, so I sold flamingo shaped biscuits.

An envelope poked out from underneath my pillow. It’s a letter from the Cancer Society. Thanks for donating. Your donation has been given to people in need.

I smiled.
