Sharp Ends Series/ Part 1 / Part 2/ Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 /
Friday again! Here’s the link to the origin of this prompt, here. I’ve managed to find a way to put this prompt in with the series, quite easily actually. We need more difficult prompts Madison! Anyway, links to the previous and future parts are above, enjoy and remember, constructive critisism is welcome!
The barbed wire had withered but not broken from her sawing, she’d resorted to twisting the flexible material instead. He barely looked at her and when he did, a mixture of emotions from melancholy to anger danced across his facial features. Droplets of rain from the previous night dribbled off her hair languorously. In it’s wake the rain had left a stream of colours which arched across the sky like the curve an arrow travels.
He was impatient, it showed from him constantly humming a tune and pacing around her, his demeanor from the night had almost vanished. She was about to begin haggling him when the wire’s suddenly slackened and fell away. She leaped at the oppurtunity and abrupt, well-worked freedom by darting up behind him. As she moved to grab him in a head lock a siren wailed into life and she stopped dead in her tracks.

the only criticism I had was using facial features instead of face, and after a second read, maybe a few inconsequential words could be cut to make it more punchy and vibrant maybe?
Still, it’s pretty tense and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I was trying to use bigger words I think, I’ll change it. I’ve been told I’m too descriptive, I try to roll a story out instead of punch it, a story can’t be forced.

Yes, she’s a rather eye-capturing character, in an evil, loving, murdering way.

I’m really enjoying the continuing adventure and will be looking forward to seeing if you do NaNoWriMo too.

National Novel Writing Month – it takes place in November each year and if you search for it online you’ll find all sorts of resources to help you along 🙂

Good job on many levels. I’ll stay tuned.

She’s a determined, loving, murderer, who doesn’t
May 19, 2012 @ 07:21:38
I like the description of the barbed wire “withering” – nice! I’ve followed the series for a couple weeks now so I like to see it coming together, how you work each new prompt into it. Well done!

And to think, this series started with the barbed wire prompt. It’s fun finding out what the next prompt is a finding a way to use it, this week was kinda easy.
May 19, 2012 @ 09:24:17
What a cliffhanger you’ve left us with! This sentence in particular gave me good imagery.: “Droplets of rain from the previous night dribbled off her hair languorously.”
You are the first person to ever ask for harder photo’s! I have a bunch of hard ones, lol. We’ll have to see what comes up next week 😉
May 21, 2012 @ 17:33:57
I try to leave everyone waiting. I made a point to myself to use the word languorously, good to hear it worked well in that sentence. I always like a challenge, can’t wait to see what you throw at us next prompt!

I hope she picks up a big rock and just brains this guy.
May 21, 2012 @ 17:35:24
But does she have the will to?
May 19, 2012 @ 14:59:42
she’s got guts. more than me.

Same here, although I don’t have reason to murder anyone.
May 21, 2012 @ 07:57:31
To start, I swear I don’t know who to trust, here and then, when the siren went off, I actually jumped! This is like a very dark version of the old serials, only about ten minutes of story then cliffhanger!

To be honest, I’m not sure either, depends what side your one. If I tried hard enough I could tweak this a lot and make it a screenplay but that’s my really really ambitious side showing.
