I’ve started a story, now it’s up to you to continue it! Below I’ve written a short paragraph. Reblog this post and add the next paragraph yourself and let the chain continue until the story gets completed. You don’t have to put too much thought into it, this is just a writing exercise! Just have fun!

The setting sun disappeared behind the trees as I walked steadily towards my car. My exposed arms shuddered against the chill of the cool evening breeze. I glanced down at my wristwatch, which was barely visible in the fading light. 8 o'clock sharp. Taking a moment to marvel at my punctuality, I then reached for the driver’s side door handle. That’s when I heard my name being shouted from somewhere in the distance.

Writing Challenge- Whump Edition

Write a whumpy scene for a character you wouldn’t normally whump.

(Not one you actively dislike the thought of whumping, but just one you don’t usually whump.)

Which half of your OTP would handle the other one losing all of their memories better?

How would character A identify themselves to character B if A temporarily couldn’t speak and B temporarily couldn’t hear?

“I can’t fight. I’m not that strong, I’m not that fast, and I don’t have that kind of training. But I can help.”

“How?”

“There’s more to life than fighting.”

“You know you want to sing along.”

“Shut up. No I don’t.”

“… I will if you will.”

“… You’re on.”

“I haven’t told you everything.”

“I know, and I love you. You’ll tell me when you’re ready.”

“What did you do?”

“Nothing you would technically consider in the general ballpark of illegal.”

“…. On a scale of one to ten, how worried should I be?”

Imagine your BROTP in a prank war.

“Can you stop doing this?”

“What, coming back to life? Well, if you’d stop killing me, we wouldn’t have this issue, would we?”

“You saved me. Why?”

“I don’t expect you to understand. Not right now. But I’m asking you to remember it.”
