Ten word story challenge

Ten Word Stories? Sure! Let’s Do It!

Join me — keep the chain going!

No idea why I chose this photo. It just looked delicious! Photo by Quin Engle on Unsplash

I’ve done this ten-word story challenge before, but when The Sturg, Dr. Gabriella Korosi, Deb Fiore and Lola Rosario tagged me again, how could I resist the challenge?

This time, I am going to go with The Sturg’s ten photos ten ten-word captions route.

But first, I need to add my ten words to Gabi’s, Lola’s and Deb’s ten words

Stepping forward into the unknown future awakened her inner sight. (Dr. Gabriella Korosi

This fierce guerrera knew the ancestors would always guide her. (Lola Rosario)

Although she did not recognize her future, she felt safe. (Deb Fiore)

Here’s mine:

She was ready to carpe diem, surge forward, face anything!

And now

. . . my ten photos and ten ten-word stories — in question format. I hope you feel the nudge to answer them, just for fun! I picked photos randomly!
