A teenage boy walked into my shop the other day. Beastly in appearance, he approached my counter with a bottle of soda and a candy bar. “Can I also purchase a pack of Marlboros”, he sheepishly asked with a quiver in a voice.
“Do you have ID?” I responded. Every time this situation plays out... | 4 | 0 | 587 | 82 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | (Less of a story, more of a narrative, and the best part is it's all TRUE which made it even harder to write!!! Took about an hour.)
All I’ve ever dreamed to do is perform. Broadway has always beckoned me. Call me crazy, but I’ve always considered that as “making it’… not L.A. Day after day they perform the same songs... | 3 | 0 | 587 | 83 |

Another day was passing by like any other. Blackness surrounded everything he did and saw now. Cool winds swept through the leaves outside and tossed them around playfully. Despite the joyous dancing, he could only see their crinkled brown skin breaking. Everything was less beautiful.

Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Here is my shot at this, not at all my best, but I usually don't write constrained by alphabet letters :)
Another day has come again and shown its version of reality
Bravely I try to face it, knowing how much it will take from me
Could there have been another way?

Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck my life. I had a story written out about how this awesome dragon takes over a kingdom and I was on U and I was planning for the dragon to move on and die after 30,000 years but then someone hit the "home page button". THEY WILL DIE!!!!!! | 1 | 0 | 587 | 87 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Agony. Beyond pain, fire wracked her body, curling fingers licking her flesh. Close by, the stench of smoke and burning flesh filled the air with a vicious miasma. Drenched in sweat she howled, shrieks of a throat raw and bleeding from screams.
Echoing across the darkened courtyard, her shrieks fell among hard faces, ... | 4 | 0 | 587 | 88 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Aaron dove out of the way, the dragon's fire missing him by mere inches. Bleeding heavily, Aaron drew his sword; he wasn't going to let this overgrown lizard get the best of him. Charging like a berserker, he thrust his sword into the beast's gut and sent a vicious burst of lightning through the blade; the dragon roare... | 1 | 0 | 587 | 89 |

Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Ah, see this sort of thing isn't very hard, my friend Paul and I did this for improv a lot.
Banishing the fear of the alphabet is the crux of the exercise, whilst maintaining story continuity. Cannily, our friends took advantage of us in our singular talent because if there's anything theater majors love to see its me... | 1 | 0 | 587 | 94 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | I know the contest is over, but I don't care about that. I'm not a writer by trade, I saw this and decided to try it for the hell of it. Hope some of you guys see this and enjoy it for what it's worth.

Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | As I lay dying on my death bed, I started to reflect. Breathing heavily, I had a lot of questions. Can they save me? Do I really have to go now? Everything started to flash before my eyes. Far from a dream, this was reality. God, please, don't let me go. Help me. I was hopeless, and layed there with no one around.

Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | I decided to do a similar kind of Alphabet Game a few days ago, actually. Not sure how you guys are towards badly-written Pony fiction, but I basically decided to make almost every single word alphabetical (though I did resort to stuff like exuberant for x, because x is crazy to try and get a match for while staying on... | 1 | 0 | 587 | 97 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Zebra-yellowjacket xenographs were unimaginably, tediously stupid. Rarely quiet, perpetually odorous: Nature made less kind, just ignorant half-breeds. Great flying equines, dramatically colored. Boring abominations. | 1 | 0 | 587 | 98 |
Daily Prompt: The Alphabet Game [Difficulty level: HARD] | Arriving late to the game, I'm in a position to critique my competition. Bad grammar infects every entry in this thread, and a decent plot is nowhere to be found. Could a progressive-alphabet format really be so difficult to pull off that clarity and wit would necessarily take a back seat to syntax?
