Departure: Day 516: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday

in #freewrite6 years ago

She stood in the line with everyone else waiting to get her departure slip from the post office clerk. She looked around the room, bored from hours of waiting in the rundown, rusty place.

A man's shoes squeaked with every step he danced. He looked like he played b-ball by the way he moved to the beat of the music filtering through his headphones.

The screaming baby and the tired mother - both to the point of dropping to the ground.

The man behind her let out a loud fart, not even trying to hide it. She was reminded of how this planet was coming to its end as she watched him stuff his face with a big, fat, juicy hamburger, sauces and catchup dripping from the man's lips and the sides of the burger stained his shirt.

Cow farts. The whole planet was wasting away because the methane gas ate at the ozone layer with a force of a colony of ants deconstructing an apple.

Next," said the clerk.

Ongoing Contests

  • twenty-four-hour short story - You gotta be quick to get this one posted in time. He posts the contest on Sunday (usually) and ends it about 48 hours later. This contest has a 2000 word limit.

  • Finish the Story Contest - The contest begins on Wednesday (usually) and ends 5 days later. This contest will test your write skills with something a little different each week. Plenty of time to write something around the 500 word mark.

  • Steem Monsters Common Card Fantasy Story Contest! - Coming out roughly every week. If you enjoy card games like Magic, Yugio, and others like it, you might like this game. Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.

  • Tell A Story To Me, And Win 5 SBD! Writing Contest - Kind of random when it comes out but don't worry. You will have two weeks to complete your work of art from the given prompt. Have fun!

  • Haiku - These are coming out every couple days or so. If you struggle with rhymes, no worries. Haikus don't have to rhyme. All you need to make a haiku is five syllables on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllables for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super productive. LOL

  • Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku Contest - By reading the title, you should be able to guess how this haiku contest works. You're given an image and you write. I've really enjoyed this contest because there are people here who've actually gone to classes to learn how to write haiku's; so if you want, you also can learn how to write quality haikus from reading the comments and critiques they and others give.

  • Micro-Fiction Writing Contest - This is a fun challenge. You get two-hundred and fifty words to tell a story or vignettes. Here is a great post that will explain the difference between the two concepts. Here is another post explanation of what a story is. Good luck, Brave Story Writer!

  • Vocab-Ability 1x1 - What happens is you are given a list of roots and the words they can be found in. You create a sentence using those words and post in the comment section of the post. Your upvote for your creative work will come soon. One of the best ways to increase your vocabulary is by doing these 10-15 minute exercises almost daily. What craziness will you create?

Wow, great compendium of links on your post - going to check out haikus.

I don't believe in cow fart, but we can still be friends!

Don't believe in them, eh? Let's go stand by them. LOL

I like both of the haiku places. Good people.

Yeah, 🐄 farts, that's the reason!
