First Line Friday: Halloween edition

by | Oct 29, 2010 | Uncategorized | 18 comments

This is my last Halloween-related post of the year.  I know, you’re devastated.

It’s First Line Friday!  What comes to mind when you see this picture?

Here’s mine:

Wyatt the Witch’s throbbing groin was a painful reminder of why one should always wear a protective cup when flying a broom. 

Now you go!  Remember, no critiquing.  Just have fun.

Happy Halloween, everyone!  Be safe, and don’t forget to submit a flash fiction story for the Killer Chicks contest.  The deadline is this Sunday!

    Although her teeth ached and her nose surely broken, Gerta feared the broom extraction process would her most painful experience yet.

    Hilda slowly slide down the telephone pole gathering splinters along the way.

    This is a really cute exercise! I loved everyone’s openings!

    I regretted that third margarita the moment I crashed into the telephone pole.

    Marsha beat me to it, but mine was "Classic example of why one should never drink and fly."

    Very funny picture. Love the interactive quality of your blog–that's very smart. Maybe I should steal your idea. 🙂 I wish to flatter you.
