If you follow me even a little bit, you know how much I love writing prompt site, Creative Copy Challenge.

It is the sole source for me right now for the creative writing I crave.

I know. It’s the writer’s remorse. We all want to write the next great novel but never seem to put our needs first.

One of my writer buddies is a business writer like I am. She recently started a new blog under a pen name. The blog, Quick Mystery, is dedicated to micro-mysteries, flash fiction, and mystery short stories.

Love the idea. I told my friend  I liked the idea so much, I’d steal it. Or maybe borrow it would be a better description. I am going to set up something similar here at my personal site. I figure at least it will get me writing.

Another writer friend, Lori Widmer, has set up a site for her poetry at Poet Under Construction. See, I told you it was every writer’s intent.

So stay tuned. I’ll let you know when I roll it out.

In the meantime, below is this week’s submission at Creative Copy Challenge. The word prompts are in bold.

Creative Copy Challenge #380

The exit was within her sight. A long, bending hallway beckoned her toward freedom. Abraded fingers searched for the sweet embrace of escape. There. It was there. Wasn’t it there?

An angle of light bothered her senses. Was it a cruel trick buried in the recesses of hope or the influence of a greater power? She had no words to express what she felt. The arctic sting of fear sent thoughts scurrying to the cocoon comfort of childhood.

Labored breathing was an invigorating reminder of life. Forget the nonsense of despair and walk toward the light. It was everything she had been hoping for.
