Well yesterday Jessa posted her Friday Flash Contest. at first I didn't think i could do anything with the prompts, again. but then inspiration hit. here is my entry I'd love to hear what you all think.
Oh wait the prompts:
Must use these words:
Hope and Crackle
and one of these two pictures:
which one do you think I used?
“It's coming”
“How did it find us?”
I lock the doors, Shay closes the
curtains. “How long?” She asks.
“Not long.”
“We'll never make it.” Cinda says
trying to arrange the necessary components on the coffee table. Rose,
orange peel, surfer, mint leaves, Juniper berries, indigo and
lavender. Her hands shake as she begins to cast the spell.
“We have to.” I watch from my post
through a crack in the curtains, a sliver knife in each hand.
“But...” Cinda's voice falters as
she sprinkles rain water over the mixture.
I don't take my eyes off the drive way.
As far as anyone is concerned this small suburban house is home to
three sisters. Th mortals have no idea that we three are more then
that, that what we came for, what we found will keep the world safe
from a new out break of magic wars, so long as we can get out. “Hope
and luck, we have both, now do it!” She listens to me. She always
does. Shay holds the box, Pandora's box. It will have to pry it from
her fingers if it gets here. But it wont come to that. I'm their
guardian, thy wont die or fail as long as I breath.
There is a crackle, sparks. And the
rainbow comes through, it is our road. They take it first. I can see
it, it is almost here.
“Tere!” calls Shay, “Hurry!”
I run for the rainbow road. It will
take me home. As I reach the colors it crashes down the door. But we
escape, we did it. In it's wraith it destroys the house, but what
does that matter it was only a house.
well now that was fun.
