FLASH IN A FLASH – WRITESPIRATION #87

I have been eagerly awaiting Sacha’s next prompt! I enjoy her various twists in her writing games that she challenges us to!

The challenge?

Get a timer, set it for 120 seconds and when and ONLY when you are ready to do the challenge, scroll to the very end of the post to see the one word prompt. Write hard and fast until your time is up. 

Well, I opened the email for the post at work, and had to impatiently wait until now to actually reveal the prompt!

Then I obediently opened a word doc, set my timer and did the big reveal!

I shall give you my entry first, before the prompt word though!

Warpaint

Slowly she applied it, layer after layer.

The concealer and foundation, then the eyes.

Eyebrows painted on.

Cheekbones highlit and honed to perfection, and a pout to match.

Looking in the mirror, she admired her warpaint, an armour of sorts.

Enough to shield her from the battles she used to face, when people stared at her in horror…

The prompt word was

Armour.

And that was in 120 seconds, honest!!!!! (Or maybe 125…!)
