In the woods past the remnants of the house Kevin saw bones peering from beneath a blanket of pine needles and leaves. He discovered a bicycle near a tree. In panic he left…..
I really enjoyed this weeks prompt! I could have written a whole story but only had 33 words.
This was written for Trifextra; Week Fifty-six
This weekend we are playing another type of word game with you. Below are photos from the 33rd page of one of our very favorite books, Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge. What we want you to do is to scour the page (click to enlarge), choose 33 words, and reshape those words into a piece of your own. Your piece does not have to tell an entire story. We just want to see what you can do with this particular word bank. Punctuation is up to you. Use whatever you need, whether or not it appears in the photos.

This is cool – I like what you put together with the words. Right now, I don’t have the concentration needed to do this 🙂
It was a fun but kinda difficult challenge.
Amazing, you’ve written a story that flows well. Truly a great job under these limitations.
TY…so kind thanks for the compliment. It was a challenge. For me at least.
It is great. Honestly, I do not understand why you say it is a challenge when your writing says otherwise.
That is so nice of you to say Tad. TY
your heading photo really works well
Thanks…was hard to find a bike in the woods though.
looks like the beginning of a terrifying tale.. well done 🙂
But unfortunately someone else will have to write it cause for me that’s the end. 🙂
I like this. The bones of a bicycle–very cool.
Thanks Draug
well done!
I cannot imagine the original piece being as deliciously dark as some of you have taken your 33. Well done!
I do tend to be a little on the Dark Side (in my best Darth Vader voice) I like the deliciously dark. TY 🙂
Nicely done – I love the picture of the bike and also the discovery of one at the remnants of the house.
Thanks…it was such a fun challenge. I really enjoyed it very much.
This is fantastic. I think you should keep writing on it. I’d read more!
Thanks so very much. Not sure that I will write more though. 🙂
Creepy! Great post.
TY
A great job with the prompt, you truly created your own story with these 33 words.
TY Tara! Much appreciated.
Great use of the prompt! Love the sense of mystery you’ve created.
Thanks so very much Suzanne 🙂
I liked the sense of “fright” you created in your piece-I could see Kevin as a young boy scurrying away at the frightening discovery!This cool piece holds the possibility of a longer story,i feel:-)Great job.
TY…nice that you put an age to Kevin in your mind. That age was my thought too but I couldn’t find the words to express it and was hampered by only 33 words. Very cool. TY
Oh ,thank you-I was a little afraid after posting the comment -I thought maybe I guessed wrong & maybe Kevin was a man ,like in the book 😛
Creeeeepy, love the picture, perfect with the weeks growing up in amidst the wheels of the rusty bike. Well done! 😀
Errrrr, make that weeds. Weeks works too, tho that looks more like year’s worth 🙂
TY Yes the both work. 🙂
I am also leaving in a panic!!! Great job!
awesome and freaky
Great story.
