Channeling a Write- Day 6

Let's get to it!

Our Challenge Word - Writing Prompt of the day is:

VILLAIN

Kat stood in the coroner's room.  The bones had been moved, carefully picked up, nothing left behind and transported to the cold, steel table where they lie now.  The coroner, a guy in his mid thirties stood tall with his skinny arms at his sides, hands in his pockets.  He looked troubled. Ill.  He looked at me with a look of utter disgust, for me for doing this work, for himself for having to process whatever this was. I did not speak first, I waited, watched.  It was worse than it had been at the scene, now it was what it was, nothing confused with the earth of our land. 

"Who would do this?  To a person?"  his words fell harsh to join the body on the table.  My thoughts were alone with me.  It was as if I heard him, but I was outside of my own body.  Body.  This was not a body, I was a body, this before me, clearly was not. 

Bile rose in my mouth.  These thoughts wrecking havoc on my instincts, my head, my mind.  It was sick. The coroner's question was spot on within my lonely thoughts.  Did the animal who did this know that this was a person?  A living, breathing person?  I had to meet my villain.  That is what this person was, a Villain and I was the superhero who had to stop this animal dead in his tracks.  I had to do right. I had to have the passion flowing freely in my blood and end this animal, this terrible villain,  from existence...from LIFE.

-----------------------------------------------

Of course, I will need proofing. I am just flying by the seat of my pants, the passion of my writing taking over all else.  If I start to think about the editing part, I will wipe it and deflate my challenge in its entirety.  I am having fun.  This is thinking outside of the box and letting my thoughts flow freely and I have never felt so happy before. 


Please share all!  By the way, I am hoping your Sunday is starting off right!  Thank you so much for following and don't forget to leave a comment! ;)



Happy Weekend!

Channeling a Writer- Day 5

Today our CHALLENGE WORD is:

HEART

Detective Kat gave her work all that she had.  She put herself in her victim's shoes, walked their steps, studied the evidence and tried, at all costs, to tell their story.  She was caring, compassionate, full of love and life, her HEART ruled her work, which was very different from that of her partner, Booker, or her fellow Police Officers and Detectives. 

They knew how she worked.  They understood her skills and saw how it worked for her through her cases, nearly all of them had been solved, to date.

This case was no different.  She knew that, felt that, as she stared at the ash in front of her.  Nothing was left but a few shards of white among the nothing-ness that could be confused with the earth. In the end, she knew they would find teeth, knew that she would succeed in making her victim the hero.  She was o the case and nothing was going to stop her until she solved it. 

The medical coroner followed her, joining her in the great stare at the ground before them.  The nothing-ness.  The void of where a person once did lay. 

-----------------------------------

Ok, well I managed to do something that surprised me very much, I managed to use ALL the words I have had up to date and guess what, I did NOT do that on purpose.  A crime scene is what we have and it just so happens, this is what makes all the words we have had in this challenge work. 






Please continue to write, share and have fun!





Have a good weekend!
