Every week my class are participating in the 100 Word Challenge.
We have to write a story between 90-110 words based on the prompt that is given to us every week.
This week the prompt was describing what kind of a world we would step into if we went through a door that was at the end of a stairway going up to the sky.
Here is my first 100wc:
The magnificent white marble staircase sat in an ever turning spiral; unaware, unknown.
It pulled at me, urging me to glide up and step through it’s wonderful mirrored arch.
So I did.
Where I came through was on a tall hill overlooking the strange little kingdom I had entered.
Everyone had their own house, and own piece of land.
But every little person was golden, like little statues moving around.
Most of me wanted to go back, but a part of me felt like I belonged down there with them.
Wow Nikita, you are a very good writer! I feel such depth of emotion in your words, as well as really nice descriptions of the staircase and what is beyond. But then the short "so I did" in your opening paragraph says so much without having to write more than that. And what a lovely poetic ending that leaves much to the reader's imagination. Really great work, and I hope to read more from you in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy,
DeleteI love writing fictional stories, it lets me write something that reflect how I feel at that time, and leaves room for creativity and fun!
It also gives me the satisfaction of it being my story.
Again thank you for commenting and I will be sure to write more this year! :)

Wow Nikita! This is incredible. I love the simple, 'So I did'. at the end of the first paragraph. Well done on your first 100WC of the year. I look forward to many more! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to writing them!
Hi Nikita,
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the long descriptive sentences with the short 3 word sentence. It's such a powerful device to use. I think it would be a really lovely piece for an illustrator to go wild with too! Can you imagine if you were the one who got to draw all the details of this world in the clouds? I bet an illustrator would jump at the chance!

I love the imagery that you have included here, Nikita. As a reader, you have drawn me into this unusual golden world through the power of your words. I am looking forward to your next piece with bated breath.
ReplyDeleteA very well thought out piece of writing Nikita. The imagination is such a wonderful place to be, explore and then create from isn't it! What I loved was the feeling of being immersed in this incredible place with you - almost Tim Burtonesque in it's style. A vivid imagination with a flair for the theatrical! Nice job :)
