Thing 47: The time you were the most terrified -- your knees were knocking, your heart was racing, you could barely stand to be in your own skin

Greetings viewers. It's time for another terribly unexciting chapter of "Dom writes some things and nobody reads them!" Let's see what the universe has in store for me today, shall we?

Thing 47: The time you were the most terrified -- your knees were knocking, your heart was racing, you could barely stand to be in your own skin

"One step closer, and she dies."

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

So I tried something a little different today. I'm really good at writing too much -- sweeping, long-winded passages rife with emotion and descriptive elements. I'm really bad at writing short things. I figured this time around I would try to be brief. I think my above passage (inspired by the amazing 6-word story that pretty much everyone knows about already) actually says quite a lot in those few words, but I want to know what my audience thinks!

So yes, if you're reading this, please comment. I want to know if you can paint the same picture in your head that I had in mine when I put this together. Also, I can write a longer version if people would be interested in that, but I won't know unless you tell me.

Challenge extended.

  1. Definitely opens the door to plenty of interesting potential situations! Write the extended version, so we can find out where you were going with it, compared to our own imaginations.
