Let’s see if I can write this without getting my tongue tied:
This PROMPTuesday, write a story about someone faking a skill to gain the attention of someone else, which only forces him/her into a situation where s/he must use this skill in order to save him/herself from a bigger threat. Include: a cast-iron lamp and two nuns giggling in the corner.
The Rock said you could instead write about a superhero with a completely random and ridiculous superpower, like William H. Macy in Mystery Men (otherwise known as “The Shoveler,” who had the special ability to use a shovel with dizzying skill).
Whosever one you pick, is good by me.
Except remember: I’m pretty insecure.
Meanwhile! Catch up on the PROMPTuesdays archive here.
I love this shit!!! Let me think about it. Superpowers? That intrigues me. I have some superpowers- I can tie 20 pairs of shoes in two minutes; I can quiet a room in three claps and a snap; I can run across the room with a garbage can in 7 seconds without knocking over and 6 year olds. How’s that?
Cheri @ Blog This Mom! has posted Faking It. (Sorry Rock, I went with Deb’s; it’s a Bitch thing.)
This looks like a good one, but I wasn’t able to work on it for DaGoddess today. I’ll post it tomorrow hopefully.
I’m so blagnorant! How do you do this? Do I post this on my blog – do I send the story to you?
I just want to say that Cheri (above) did an awesome job on this one!
