30 Mar Story Continuation Challenge Prompt 4

Once again, thank you to all of you for participating in the previous week’s challenge.

I loved reading your stories, and it amazes me each time to see such amazing story-telling in such few lines.

Last week’s prompt was as random as it could be and yet the responses were inspiring and creative.

My personal favorite was Luke’s although I hate having to deal with a dead mouse.
The story liked most was the poem written by Sandra. If you haven’t already read her Friday Fiction, do so now. 🙂 (Caution: Proceed only if you are 18+ 😉 )

This week’s prompt is –

As the sun set over the horizon, a deathly stillness descended with it.

Challenge Rules –

• Please complete the story in a maximum of 3 sentences (the first line is the prompt, so you have the freedom to write either 1 or 2 lines more.)
• Stories need to be shared in the comments section of that prompt’s post so that everybody can read them at one place.
• If you feel inspired to write a longer story, please feel free to write it on your own blog with a ping-back to the respective prompt.
• If a comment or story written by another blogger inspires you to write one of your own, please remember to thank them.
• Creativity rules. The story could be told in a rhyming poem, free verse or prose. It could be funny, dark, thought-provoking or even a true incident retold creatively.
• The Challenge will run from Tuesday to Sunday.
• Most creative stories shall get a special mention in next week’s challenge.
• The main purpose of this challenge is to have fun and learn. Those who are able to mentor and help others grow in their writing; you are encouraged to do so. All constructive feedback should be communicated in a kind and helpful manner AND received in a welcoming manner.
• Please do read other stories and visit their blogs or give them feedback here. Each one of us is here to showcase our writing to others. Give first what you want in return.
• If you are interested in participating in the challenge, please follow the blog to receive the prompts via email.

Prompt 4 Rules –

• (You’re already following this rule, far better than I can imagine.) As before,  remember to go off the beaten track. Think out-of-the-box.
• There has to be some reference to a new beginning, of any kind.

This prompt is open till Monday, April 4th, 2016. Please remember to submit your stories in the comments before then.

My story is –

As the sun set over the horizon, a deathly stillness descended with it.
Now that the downpour had ceased, life could begin.

Look forward to being blown away with your stories again.
