I asked my friend Sally to give me a writing prompt to get my pen moving again, as I haven’t written much lately.
She challenged me to write a story of 26 words, with each word starting with the next letter of the alphabet. This is my attempt:
A beautiful cougar deftly explores forests grumpily. Hovering, it jumps knight-like moving nimbly over puddles. Quickly running, staying to unlit walkways. Xavier yells ‘Zikes!’
Primula liked it, but had to ask who Xavier was. ‘That’s easy, Prim dear,’ I explained. ‘Xavier is the wood cutter, out to start work in the early morning when he comes across the cougar. Wouldn’t you yell ‘zikes’ if you came across something as scary as a cougar?’
Primula smiled. ‘You have such an imagination, Pemberthy dear,’ she said.
I think she meant it as a compliment.
What have you written lately? Perhaps consider putting your skills to the test and try writing an alphabet story.
