And the winner of the Sunlight and Mystery writing prompt is: Charles DeMoss (aka: Charlesthereader). Charles had two very different takes on the prompt and we liked them both so much we decided to show you both. Great work, Charles.
The Prompt:
The sunlight made me shade my eyes. I couldn't see the man in front of me, only his outline.
"Who are you?" I asked.
I heard something click and took a step back. A bead of sweat dropped down my back. The heat was baking me.
"Please, who are you?" I asked again.
With a flourish he pulled back his cloak and stepped to the side so that I could see him.
"I am... "
(Take One)
“I am Death, your Death to be precise.”
I burst out laughing. “Hey, that’s a good one, man. But who are you, really?”
“I already told you, I am your Death, as in a personification of the moment you stop living, the moment when all the lights go out forever. Need I go on?” He smiled condescendingly.
At that point, I knew I needed to get away from there. This guy was obviously crazy, who knew what he might do. I ran to the highway to flag down a passing vehicle.
“And in 5… 4… 3…”
Tires squealed, and then everything ended.
(Take Two)
“I am your imaginary friend!”
“Dude, I’m 17, I don’t need an imaginary friend.”
“Not according to your file. See here: Petey Jones, Age 4, Tormen… Wait, you said you were 17?”
“Do I look like a 4 year old to you?”
“So you’re not Petey Jones?” At this point, the man was starting to freak out.
“Oh, gods above and below, not again! They said that if I messed up one more time I would lose my job! What am I going to do? I need to find him now! Bye!”
He faded away, leaving me wondering what happened.
That's all for this week folks. See you on Monday with more Got Teen Fiction.
