I'm participating in Saturday Centus, hosted by Jenny Matlock.
Each week we are provided a writing prompt and charged with the task of using that prompt and an additional 100 words to create a short, short, short story. It's an exercise in using your imagination and having a good time.
My entry follows; the prompt is in blue.
Charlotte hummed “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” as she sat down to grade her students’ papers.
Their assignment had been rainbows. Charlotte left essay topics open for the kids; she never wanted to stifle creativity.
Melissa’s paper was first. “Rainbows are pretty and they have all the colors except not as many as my crayon box at home. In real life you can see straight through a rainbow to the other side not like the rainbows in stores and I don’t know why that is. Real life rainbows are too big to fit in stores.”
Charlotte chuckled and sipped her tea.
