Freewriting
This is my fifteenth #freewrite exercise! Five minutes of writing, without any breaks or editing. Today's prompt is Snake. I had fun doing this - each day I am defeating writer's block and going into a style of writing or an idea which I am not familiar with.
Motherf*cking Fairy
Alert! A snake slithers, its toxic fangs ready to poison me. Fool. It's speed is fast, but it is bound by gravity.
Whoosh. I leap in the air, and float. I'm a motherf*cking fairy. It hisses, swirling beneath me. It musters all its energy and channels it to its head. Pathetic. It is nowhere close of reaching me. Few tries and it gives up - that's how it always goes. I know by now, I am untouchable.
Not many creatures tend to threaten me. Smarter creatures know their limits. This snake doesn't. It's presistent. My wings throw gusts in its face; sand storms in its eyes. Angered. But it hides its tongue and the sharp fangs, for they find the sand to taste bland. Continous hissing. I have all day, I can fly away - but what is the point if the snake would think it won? I am no quitter. I will stand here, flapping my wings, throwing gusts of air and sand into its stubborn face.
Sneaky, it slithers around. Tries to play hide and seek. It doesn't work - silly. It continues to slither round and round, as if it was trying to hypnotise me, but I am immune. ARGH! A sharp sting pierces through my neck. It was luring me while another snake climbed the tree, hung from a branch and bit me from above!
Inspiration
I found inspiration in being a fairy! There was a time when 'fairy' could have been thrown at me as an insult, but now it is totally a compliment that I would love to receive. Hopefully, my destiny is different than the fairy in this story.

You've done a great job creating this picture - flying and swirling above with the snake below and interesting ending twist! Well done!!

Oh no!! You killed her - well she could have flown away...
You know what to do :) https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-125-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-cinnamon
Wooo new prompt.
She could have flown away but... she wanted to tease that snake. Having the last laugh is never a guarantee ;)
so true!!
First of all... as you can prolly tell from my doodles, I love fairies!
Second... what an inventive scenario and storyline! Loved this. Reading your freewrites is making me want to participate :)
You definitely should (if you find the time). Really though, they are just five minutes, without needing too much thought, so it doesn't beg for too much commitment - except having more comments to respond to, probably :P
lolo yes... but I also love responding to comments hahaha. Steemit is like crack to me 😜heheh ouch.
