WRITING CHALLENGE

10-Word Stories

My attempt at this fun challenge

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels

I was recently inspired to write my own ten-word stories after reading Sheri Jacobs’ writing prompt to come up with a story in just ten words.

These are not complete stories, but they do serve as a springboard for further thought and imagination.

Here goes. Hope you enjoy reading them.

  1. Laying on his deathbed, he confessed he was her father.
  2. When she opened the pink envelope, she wept for joy.
  3. Her head turned slowly, feeling his intense gaze on her.
  4. He clutched his chest moments before collapsing in the room.
  5. Seeing her family safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.
  6. Looking for the life support, she knew it was over.
  7. Shortly after consuming suspicious food, he felt his throat constricting.
  8. The family secrets would forever remain locked in the safe.
  9. He looked into her eyes, terrified, and lost all hope.
  10. His dancing lit up the room like a blazing fire.

If you have a favorite story, please comment on which and why.

I would like to shout out these incredible ten-word stories by Rebecca Hawkes, Suzy Jacobson Cherry, and Lo Everlasting.

Tagging other amazing storytellers to join in the fun if they so desire: Hollie Petit, Ph.D., Michele Maize, Sharing Randomly, Grace Bianco, Mia Verita, Natalie, Judy Walker, Connie Song, Linda Ng, and Osan Fernando.
