Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

PROMPTuesday #31: Faking It

Etcetera, PROMPTuesdays

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?
