15 Mar Story Continuation Challenge Prompt 2

To all those who participated to the Story Continuation Challenge last week : Thank you for taking up the challenge.

I was overwhelmed to see the response. Your replies were not just hugely motivating to me, being host blogger, but also immensely creative and interesting. Funny, dark, realistic – each entry brought about a different reaction and vivid images of the story it told.

The story that was most liked by us all was Oneta’s –

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack,
He crawled through a thorn bush and scratched his back.

My personal favourite was Aseena’s –

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack.
He was unhappy until surgeons helped change the name to Jacqueline. Now she’s happy…

Many congratulations to each participant for your amazing story-telling skills. I personally enjoyed reading each story.

Here’s the second prompt. Entries will be accepted till Sunday, March  20th, 2016.

Heart-broken, helpless and depressed, she sobbed inconsolably.

Prompt 2 Rules –

• As before,  remember to go off the beaten track. Think out-of-the-box. 😛

My story is –

Heart-broken, helpless and depressed, she sobbed inconsolably.
She mourned the death of one who wasn’t even born.

I am even more excited than last week to see what interesting tales you all will spin. 🙂
