Normal User Posts: 920	Prompt: Lost his focus. He had lost his focus. It wasn’t all that surprising; the man started shaking minutes ago. Most people probably wouldn’t have noticed, but it didn’t escape her attention, especially when there was a gun pointed at her chest. She didn’t say anything about this new development. In fact she didn’t even allow herself a change of expression, though the urge to smirk was there. Coolly, she stared back at the man who until moments ago had the guts enough to threaten her with a weapon. Sweat was beading on his forehead, and then trickling down to soak into the collar of his shirt. His hands were shaking so bad that the gun was wavering in the air. Soon, he would falter. And by then he will lose much more than his focus.

Normal User Posts: 920	Prompt: And it's mine. The laboratory was on fire. Beakers exploded one after the other, and harsh chemicals lifted into the air. The stench of the chemicals was almost as scorching as the flames that licked up around his feet, singing the stained white lab coat that clung to his bony shoulders like a tarp. He seemed oblivious to the fire; his eyes were locked on a cracked, narrow tube in the center of the room. There was a human shaped figure in the cracked tube. She was awake. The bright cold eyes he had dreamed of were staring right through him. A grin spread across his face, even as the flames leapt up, consuming him. His greatest creation, something he had strived to achieve for years. "And it's mine!"

Normal User Posts: 920	Prompt: Begins with a name. Swift. Swift was a very odd man. Bobby did not remember how he had ended up being pulled along with the crazed gunman and his dog, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that he was mixed up with him. He sat in the backseat of Swift's minivan and stared warily at the gruff man in the driver's seat, who would occasionally flick his glance up to the rear-view mirror and glare at him. Bobby was terrified of the man with the gun, but what terrified him even more was the song that was currently playing on the radio. A familiar, popular beat filled his ears. Swift was currently singing along. "Russian roulette is not the same without a gun," Swift sang, and thumped his hands on the steering wheel to the beat. You couldn't laugh at him. He would kill you. Bobby wondered in horror if this was the worst day of his life, or just the beginning.

Normal User Posts: 920	Prompt: Confetti rain. I sat sick, sore and suffering. I don't know what caused it. Probably the combination of stress and waking up nearly frozen every day for the past week. The heater was on the fritz. I worked up enough strength amidst the fuzziness in my head and limpness in my limbs to make a pot of coffee. As per usual. It was the only reason I got up most days. Coffee made me feel better. Probably one of the side effects of being addicted to caffeine. I took my seat in the big chair next to the window and sipped my coffee. Maybe, I thought, I just needed some sun. I twisted the plastic rod and watched the blinds slowly open. I was greeted by light flashing brilliantly off of little brightly colored pieces of paper waving gently in the air passed my window. It was raining confetti.

Normal User Posts: 920	Oh, thank you! =] Yeah some prompts are crazy! I usually throw mine together on a whim, but sometimes I'll go looking for prompt generators.

Normal User Posts: 920	Prompt: Grey ships pass. The water was murky, dark and cold. Clouds obscured the sky, refusing to let the sun come out and brighten this dreary, foggy day. I was standing on the edge of the dock, unconcerned as the small dock buffeted up and down after every wave. There was a knot in my throat, and a burning behind my eyes. The grey ships moved slowly, making barely any noise as they passed by on the dark waves. There were no goodbyes spoken. All was silent as the big ships slowly disappeared into the horizon. I remained until I could see them no more, and absently brushed tears from my face.
