Prompt # 17

“Who is the current president?” I asked, shocked.

“Collidge.” He answered coolly.

“That’s not the right answer, but who the hell is that? Who was president before him?”

“Um,”he paused for a minute,” Harding.”

“Who? You know what? It doesn’t matter. You are WAY out of whack with the times. We’re in the twenty-first century. It’s not 1920 anymore.”

“1927.” He corrected.

“Shut up.”

Prompt #23

“I have something to tell you. Something you can’t tell anyone else.” Tess said. Her eyes red and blotchy.

“Fine go on.” I said.

“You have to promise not to tell anyone.” She urged.

“Okay.”

She took a deep breath.

“I killed someone. It started off as a fight and then it just-I-.” She stopped.

“She fell down the stairs and her neck snapped and- and I don’t know.” Her shoulders dropped in defeat.

Her revelation did not surprise me. For some reason,I could not bring myself to believe it. I pondered over her words for a minute. Fuck, I thought, isn’t that how Josie’s mother died.

And then, like a bag of bricks, it hit me. Oh,no. This was bad. This was really bad.

Ekphrastic Fiction Contest (June 2019)

The artistic piece for this month’s contest is a digital painting by Maci Hass @macisketches titled, “It’s in the Eyes.” Please visit this page to see more incredible work by this artist!

Basic Directions: Create an original fictitious piece based on the artwork above.

Length: Your entry does not have to be long! It can be as short as one sentence or one paragraph. Entries must be shorter than 500 words.

Deadline: All entries must be received before June 25th. The winner will be announced June 30th.

How to submit your entry:  Once you have written your Ekphrastic Fiction piece, you can enter this contest either of these ways:

You can do either one of these to enter the contest. You do not need to do both.  

Contest Prize: I will feature the winning piece on my blog and link directly to the writer’s page in order to promote his/her/their work. The winning piece will also have a permanent spot on my contest page. This gives writers a chance to have their work shared and seen by others. Sorry, but at this time I am broke, so no cash prizes will be given.

WTF is Ekphrastic Fiction? Ekphrastic Fiction stories are short fictitious pieces inspired by a work of art. To see some of my Ekphrastic Fiction pieces, click here.

Will there be any future contests? Yes! As long as there is enough interest, there will be a new contest, and a new piece of art work, posted every month. Check out my page on the 1st of each month to see the new contest.

“[I]t is actually more expensive to be poor than not poor. If you can’t afford the first month’s rent and security deposit you need in order to rent an apartment, you may get stuck in an overpriced residential motel. If you don’t have a kitchen or even a refrigerator and microwave, you will find yourself falling back on convenience store food, which — in addition to its nutritional deficits — is also alarmingly overpriced. If you need a loan, as most poor people eventually do, you will end up paying an interest rate many times more than what a more affluent borrower would be charged. To be poor — especially with children to support and care for — is a perpetual high-wire act.”
