Okay so I found this website called oneword.com where it gives you a prompting word and 60 seconds in which to write something about that word. It's a very good writing exercise and I've gotten plenty of mileage out of it so I'm gonna post the ones that I've written.
[B]Word: Guided[/B]
Hank's enemy was finally in his sights. He jammed the throttle down, trying to get under him. "You son of a bitch. You're mine," he muttered, gruffly, like a grizzled action hero should. He flicked open the toggle on his joystick. A guided missile left the wing and his opponent ignited in a fiery flash.
[B]Word: Resist[/B]
The scientist brought the metal ball around to bear on Amazing Man. "Finally, all those times you have resisted me will be over!"
"Not if I can help it!" says Amazing Man. He then gets shot with the lightning bolt but it doesn't do anything so he survives and saves the day; hooray.
[B]Word: Distract[/B]
"And if you'll look at my left hand, watch closely now," the magician said.
The next thing I knew my wallet was gone and my bank called me telling me that my account no longer existed. "You fuck," I said, punching the magician as hard as I could.
[B]Word: Mercury[/B]
The ship rounded the edge of the planet, and Captain O'Donnell lit another cigar. "Any idea what's under there?" he asked one of his mates.
"No idea, Captain, but that's what we're gonna find out, right?"
"Weird, isn't it," said the captain, "We've explored the universe, but this, right here in our backyard, is still a mystery to us."
[B]Word: Early[/B]
It wasn't yet time. Everyone stared in shock at the smoking barrel of the third man's rifle.
"My bad, guys," he says, looking to the corpse of the revolutionary standing against the corner of the wall, "I mean, he's still dead, right?"
[B]Word: Check[/B]
When I got home he was there, sitting at my coffee table, leafing through a book of Frank Lloyd Wright photographs.
"It's time," he said, handing me an envelope, "You'll get the rest when it's done."
I looked at the envelope. $500,000, the check said. I went to the closet and got my effects.
[B]Word: Cosmos[/B]
Lance Lighstar looked out of his ship at the creature stretched along the edges of the solar system.
"Well, LUCIUS", he said to his onboard computer, "only one way to do this." Lance hit the throttle, aiming directly for the cosmic beast's throat.
[B]Word: Sorry[/B]
She looked at me, the red on her lips matching her dress and the blood. "I'm...sorry," she said, falling back out the window.
I stared dazedly at the gun in my hand. Someone had set me up. Two things tipped me off to this: First, that I loved her. Second, the knocking on the door. Dexter, you're really in for it, I said to myself.
[B]Word: Reveal[/B]
"Well well well," said Doc Terror, lifting Captain Fantastic's head to look into his eyes.
"Not so fantastic any more, are we..."
Captain Fantastic spits.
"But now to see who the real man is," says Doc Terror, flipping the switch on his infernal machine, as electric pulses flow into Mankind's Mightiest's temples...
[B]Word: Wine[/B]
"Freeze!" said the cop. I lunged for the nearest thing I could find: an empty wine bottle. Sauvignon. 1932. Good vintage. I don't think the cop thought so, seeing as he would be digging glass shards out of his face for the rest of his short life.
[B]Word: Apron[/B]
She came into the dining room, smiling. "Dinner's on!" she said.
Ah, what a lovely, perfect wife, I thought to myself. "Lovely," I said, "Where's Jimmy? His dinner's going to get cold,"
She smiled again, and set to serving.
[B]Word: Orchid[/B]
The last I saw of her as she walked out the door for the final time was that flower in her hair. "Ficus?" I asked, just as she thrust the door open.
"Orchid. You idiot. Jesus. It's a goddamned orchid."
Enjoy

For a minute each, they're pretty good. I reckon you could write a story if you wanted.

[editline]07:45PM[/editline]
love how everyone's reading but no ones posting. gimme some c&c bitchesss
It's pretty nice, I was trying to imagine my own stories behind those words while reading yours. Pretty fun. Nice work :buddy:
[b]Word: Pool[/b]
"It was a refreshing day at the pool. Old man hank was sitting on his front porch ready to take a refreshing dive untill something in the corner of his eye had caught his attention: there was a mouse sitting on the edge of his chair.
'Woah, who the heck are you?', said Hank on which the mouse replied: 'I'm not here, you're just going through a mental breadkdown...'"
And another one just for the heck of it:
"'Frank... Frank... Frank dearie...'
'Ugh leave me alone Martha I'm trying to sleep'...
'Oh but I made you some scones...'
'FUCK OFF MARTHA'"
I suck. :derp:
[B]Word: Pool[/B]
It was a hot summer day. "It seems so refreshing." Bob said. "Ready?" Jill questioned. After she had completed this sentence Bob's hand reached for Jill's. They clutched each other.
I suck =(
Great stories, creative for 1 minuite
That my friend... is pure epicness.
You could seriously write a book or something.
Or even just a colleciton of short stories.
PUT ME IN DEDICATIONS :D
no.
ok another one
[B]Word: Trot[/B]
"Fuck. How deep is it in there?" asked Harold Godwinson, indicating the arrow in his eye.
The surgeon looked at it a little harder. "Pretty deep, milord. Hang on...lemme just try this..."
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK" said Harold Godwinson.
Long story short, William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings in 1066 by sheer luck and because Harold Godwinson was stupid and dumb.
this is because william the conqueror won mostly just cause he had a cavalry. once harold godwinson sacrificed the high ground, the cavalry trotted in and tore them to bits. thats why there are so many french words in the english language
^that was really gay why did i write it?
sure, battle of hastings is great. cant write good on it unless youre kate beaton
