An alternative post this week to my usual ones. After talking to friends recently, saying they’re bored and there’s nothing to do at the moment; it got me thinking.
It would be interesting to start a series of posts with two or more versions of a story.
How will this work?
I’m enlisting your help in writing a story, poem or description,
in no more than 150 words in total.
I will publish each one in a themed post on my site over the next few weeks. (Subject to work being suitable for publication, is not offensive, abusive and does not contravene any laws in any way.)
I will also write something for each theme and hopefully there will be a number of writing styles to compare.
Please send in work by the date listed with a written note giving me permission to publish your item on my site. I look forward to reading your work and letting others share your amazing stories.
So here are my writing prompts for a short story, poem or description.
Week 1
To be published on 4th June, please send in by 2nd June
A deserted house sits at the corner of the street. It’s been vacant for years, no one goes in, no one comes out. What’s the story?
Week 2
To be published on 11th June, please send in by 9th June
Think back to your childhood days and recall a memory of something that made a firm impression on you.
Week 3
To be published on 18th June, please send in by 16th June
Opening up a box of chocolates and selecting a favourite one. Describe why you selected it.

Shut your eyes and imagine your drifting along in a boat. Where are you going to? What places have you seen on your journey?
