This week's genre is YOUR CHOICE. Your story may be serious or light hearted or as silly as you like just so long as it is 100 words or less and written for the following prompt

 

This week you choose the genre but I get to choose the first or last sentence of your story. I've had an old Steely Dan song stuck in my head today. Choose one of the following lyrics from songs I've been singing this week to be the first or last sentence of your post.

I'm never going back to my old school.

It's lonely out in space.

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A

 

 

Post your stories to Genre Shorties

This is a moderated group and only articles posted for the prompts are accepted.

Should be fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
Good one, but I MISSED week 11? I think I might have actually written it too. I guess I'd have had to post it, hmmm? :)

Marilyn (decisions, decisions!)
Kay,

Since I actually DID week 11 (and never posted it), but I thought I did :), how many of these can we do? Please say more than one!

Post away! This group is just for fun and exercise so do the prompts whenever you want. I keep the prompts featured at the top of the group page so that they are all easy to find.
Yes! Thank you, Kay :) Wow, begging works? (Making note to self, BEG)
