I've been thinking about another theme prompt for some time now. Nova did something odd when I was taking pictures for The Shadow. He winked at me. [one looks around] He did it all on his own too and there was no one around. (And I have freewill off) Therefore, we have this prompt: It's all fun and games until someone looses an eye. (I know, how do you get that from a wink) [shrug] Of course, it could be a loosing theme prompt. You don't have to loose an "eye," but rather something else if you prefer, usually something of great value. Have fun.

Oh, ha! This one is hilarious! Great prompt! I have a pair of young ladies who would fit the bill for this perfectly! (Of course, I get through my story SO slowly, their update wouldn't come around for another 6 months or so. Remember that "isolation" prompt you posted ages and ages ago? I'm just about to come up on that story in my storyline, in about July, lol!) Yet this one is just too good! So I'll try to work it in... in a while

Well, there's no time limits on these prompts...so take as much time as you need. I look forward to reading them in the "future."

I always say, "Ooh, I'm working on it!" in your threads, but I'm actually working on it this time. This is a perfect theme for a short story I wanted to write. (It actually connects to one of my larger stories, but it can stand alone as well.)

I'm almost done with the first part. It took me a while. D: I plan to hit on two themes with this short story.

12:03 AM (Part I). Part II (and the end?) should be up some time in the next week or so. Edit: I thought 'The Crossroads' was a theme, but I guess it wasn't. Ignore the two prompt thing, haha.

This is so short I just posted it here in the thread. If it's breaking a rule or you prefer I remove it please let me know and I will do so.
Cruising
We was just gonna go to the store, grab some smokes – grab some smokes and go to Chi Chi’s right? Wrong. Nay-Dog (don’t even ask) decides he wants to pull a prank on his girlfriend, “Scare her so bad, she’ll jump in my pants for pro-tec-cion, bruh.” That’s what he said. Nay-Dog is always saying stupid stuff like that. It’s all about the jump-in-pants thang. I just thought, ‘Yeah, whatever.’
His “girlfriend” is butcher than butch, he just too stupid to know it yet. We all figured he’ll figure it out sooner or later but they been dating for five years. Girl cringes every time he touch her and he still ain’t gotta clue! She cut her hair, started sagging and she rolls like a dude – homey blind as a bat if he think that girl dig him.
So like I was saying; we riding down her block on Venson right? Just cruising, when BAM! BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM! The shots came so close together Nay-Dog ain’t had a chance to change gear or nothing! Homey was dead before the last cap smashed his skull in two…so was I.
Maaan, it’s all fun ‘n games, ‘til you dead. We shoulda just got the smokes.

There aren't any rules other than don't be mean. And this is wonderful! I've always noticed that about your writing - you have a real feeling for a character's voice and getting their personality through their words.

Thanks Stacy! I had to go in and modify it. I forgot the formatting would change once I pasted the text. lol I'm glad you like it . It's funny you say I have a knack for voices because I always thought I sucked at it!

Absolutely nothing wrong with your story. It supports the prompt very well. I loved the "voice" of the story. He reminds me of a couple of my gangsta characters.

Loved it, Velvet! You have a talent for getting into the character's head. The character completely shined through the words. Awesome! I completely forgot about this prompt and finishing the last chapter of the story fitting it. I need to work on that. I also forgot to post the second chapter that I wrote...in June... >>
