Fall

(a sodden and soggy haiku)

rain upon rain, falls

the desultory drizzle

wets my shabby soul

Try this challenge. Write a 30 word short story (any genre), but there's a catch. The first and third sentence must contain 5 words each while the second and fourth sentence must contain 10 words each.

Just as it says in the challenge prompt.

Face

Can't quite place the face. Sipping my coffee, I watch him board the eastbound train. Maybe from the old neighborhood? He looks weathered now though, with silver in his beard.

Describe freedom in 15 words... with one caveat: you can't use the words free, freedom, freeing, freest or freer (even in the title).

Man of the Tombs

Unfettered. Unbounded. Rid of disgrace, fear, and dread. Blood-bought access to the throne of Grace.
