When I saw the prompt for Five Sentence Fiction, I quite literally went Eek! I had thought that the 'Awkward' prompt had been difficult. But then a comment from a stitching friend (who had taken the time to pop over here to my writer-ish blog) had requested more of the story following on from the awkward post...
So I did just that..here is a link to the part that leads to this;
She stood there looking at him, part shock and part embarrassment, she knew that he was waiting for her to say something but standing there open-mouthed, head lolling and eyes unblinking, all she could muster was 'ugh, gur, erm, ig, agh...'
Come on she told herself, you can do this, just say something, anything, standing here acting like an extra from The Walking Dead is really not improving this date.
She was surprised he hadn't just turned around and walked out already. She needed to refocus on something other than his stare that was very intent on giving her eyeballs a good pummeling.
She tilted her head down and looked at his chest, and there emblazoned across it was 'Night of the Living Dead'...she just might be able to salvage this date yet!

Nicely continued!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteHa ha...wondered if she'd recover from the 'date from hell' beginning!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure she has yet! Lol
DeleteMissed the first one so went and read it, so funny. This tied in well, so glad she has a chance of recovery :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad you liked it. Always hoping.
DeleteGreat job! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen the first one so I went back to take a look.I love the way you've tied this in and even more so that we are still stuck in that same 'awkward' moment. Really hopig that you a) continue with this and that b) Lillie give us an equally difficult prompt to tie a story together with (but I'm mean like that;). Having said that I now have to try and do the same with mine so I may not be loving this prompt for much longer!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah, I am considering continuing with the story in the next story! I am keen to do it but have to wait till Friday and it seems so far away! lol! Will be checking to see how you got on shortly! thanks for stopping by.
Delete"So... How about those zombies?" seems like a good response to me. Good continuation.
ReplyDeletelol! Yes, definitely - changing the subject can't fail to work...can it? Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteNicely done! It's nice to see a bit of humor from Zombie :) It's a tough word for me, too. I have no idea what to do with it, lol!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be checking to see what you came up with, where do you get these prompts from? Its great stuff! Thanks for coming by.
DeleteUnfortunately I drew up a fat goose egg on Zombies :( Hopefully, I'll do better this week!!
DeleteLove... the zombie humor on it... and I'm still wondering if she's able to save the date... please... let it keep being my fault and feed us some more :D.... I need it otherwise I'll spend the rest of the day wondering what she did eheheh :D
ReplyDeleteHugs,
You only have to wait till Friday! Is it any consolation that I don't know either? haha!
DeleteI have to ask it -- is she hungry?
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Lol! Well, considering in prev post we found out he has no brains. I think she will be disappointed :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like this could be the first and last date...LOL!
ReplyDeletehahaha - quite possibly!
DeleteThe perfect story for the word! Very clever.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch horror or read it, the only exception being 'The Walking Dead' but then only the graphic novel version, I don't know why I like it so much as it goes against my normal tastes. But I do love it. Oh! and thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. :)
DeleteYou've got a great way of wrapping these little stories up with great punch-lines. Very fine indeed!
ReplyDeleteHave to keep people reading to the end with something, lol! Thanks.
