Anyhow, the prompt for the five minute writing was 'Strangely, it all began'
Here's mine:
“Mmm… Strange. It all began at that party for my sister-in-law?” asked Professor Humphry as he lay on the therapist’s couch. He sat up, changing his view from the mahogany ceiling to the ever plain Doctor Plainsborrow. Humphry adjusted his monocle. “Are you certain that’s what I said?”
Dr. Plainsborrow nodded. “I am very certain.”
Humphry nodded and laid back down, once more looking at the ceiling. The good old doctor had suggested they try hypnotism to find the root of Humphry’s problem. Humphry hadn’t thought such a thing would work, but Plainsborrow assured him.
Humphry reached up and stroked his full, dark brown beard. “Very odd. I had felt fine after that party. It’s only recently I’ve had this… urge…”
“You may not have noticed until recently, but it began at that party.” The doctor had a very boring and monotonus was of speaking. It was no wonder he was the top ranking professional in hypnotism. “Something triggered this, but you became unsettled and I had to wake you up.”
“Unsettled? Whatever do you mean?” Humphry sat up again.
What dya think? I kind like it. I think I'm going to turn this into a longer story. Got an idea for it and everything. :)“You were becoming upset, Professor, screaming nonsense. I had to wake you up.”
So, the prompts for this week are:
- dandelion
- keys
- storm
- girth
- ascertain
Good luck with everything y'all are working on!
Laters!
