Prompts are back up and running! We'd stopped in July, but we're back now, and will hopefully do so at the usual pace of bi-weekly blogs. We're sorry about the delay - things happened, and then somehow, it was November, would you look at that.
Feature
RecrudescenceA man in his fifties lay in his hospital bed, surrounded by white sheets, baskets of fruit, and get-well-soon cards. He tried to sit up, but found himself gasping for breath. He lowered himself down.
He closed his eyes, trying to sort out the mess in his head. He wondered what his liver donor was like. Had he, or she, also been lying on a hospital bed? Surrounded by white sheets, baskets of fruit, and get-well-soon cards? No, no, he reasoned. His donor would be dead. There would be no fruit or cards for someone who had already died.
He rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply. It was becoming hard to think. The regret had begun to set in. The
Recrudescence by ~Clevina.For some reason, he wanted to be a good man. He had an uneasy feeling that the liver had not been easy to get, but he prevented himself from imagining too much. The liver was his now.This is a wickedly interesting story, rife with irony. ~
Clevina cleverly and smoothly unfolds the story within the six-word story, "New liver. Break out the champagne!", from its clinical beginning, to the bittersweet end, and takes you through a carefully charted journey of futility.
My critique on the piece is
here.Prompt
Make up a word (not a name, unless you have something amazing, in which case, go for it - think of verbs, adjectives, and the like), or choose a made-up word from
here, with a definition, and then write something about that word! For example, if I chose the word
fitzcarraldo, I could write a story about a bird that suddenly had the immediate and passionate desire (indeed, the fitzcarraldo) to become a cuckoo clock. Run with it - incorporate the word/your word however you wish into your work; don't forget to tell us the definition of it!
Don't forget to

and I don't know how many submitted, but considering how many blogs we submit it's pretty easy this got lost in the bunch and wasn't read, it happens. I'm sure prompts will catch up again once people know they're up and running.
