Entry from the Lovely Ms Erin
The late August sunshine filtered through the leaves, playing patterns over her face. Sweat glistened on her forehead and pasted the grey tank-top to her back. Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, she peered into the viewfinder of her Nikon. It was worth it to brave the southern summer heat for this. She adjusted the focus on the zoom lens until the object of her attention came into sharp focus. She smiled.
Note from me: Wow, what a visual. I totally see this!
The entry from the Lovely Ms Beth
He’d been following her since daybreak. It was not for a full mile past the ribbon stall that she laughed aloud, tickled as a little boy chased his sister with a bug-eyed fish.
He hastened to snatch the vial from his threadbare cloak and collect the threads of shimmering yellow that danced before his eyes, invisible to all but him. Once it was a third full he stopped it up with the cork and stored it in his pouch.
The Master would be pleased. At long last, he had succeeded in his final test. He had bottled sunshine.
Note from me: Fantastic concept
Add the entry from the talented and gutsy Wendy Reid
Huddled behind a jetting outcrop, she pressed her knees to her chest so hard that her muscles ached. Shoulders hunched against the frigid cold of the moonlit desert, she put her hands up to her ears in the hopes to stop the cold wind from entering her head. The sand under her bottom was bitter cold and hard as ice, a far cry from it’s daylight properties.
Facing Eastward, she watched as the orange ball slowly appeared over the horizon. Nikki had never been happier to see the sun shine and feel the heat of its rays.
Note from me: Oh, this sounds so much like the start or middle of something good. This one had me wanting more. I mean really wanting more. Nicely done, Wendy.
