30 Minute Story #22 - A Dog's Burden

Hey readers. It's time to write something new. I haven't written crime before! Let's try to make at least one character into an ok character and describe at least a bit of the world. And, you know, get to the actual meat and potatoes of the story, the crime? Coolio, let's goooo! https://thestoryshack.com/tools/writing-prompt-generator/ Genre:  Crime Character:  A cowardly fireman Material:  A saxophone Sentence:  "There is no time." Bonus:  There is a great storm A Dog's Burden The rabbit was completely out of breath, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest. As he turned down another dirty alley, he realized that it was all over. He hit a dead end. The rabbit pressed himself into the cold brick wall, his body sliding down, his knees weak from fear. There was no point in screaming, the city streets were filled with constant howling. Without any hope, he looked up, his lower lip trembling at the thought of what's to come. The sky was beaut...

30 Minute Story #20 - A Never Ending Fall

Hey hey, we made it to post number 20! I didn't know if this writing experiment was going to catch on, but it clearly did, and I've been writing almost consistently. I haven't published a story every single day I planned to, but life happens, just gotta keep writing. This has been successful. I feel like I'm getting better bit by bit and learning a ton!

I guess I'll write about Christmas! https://thestoryshack.com/tools/writing-prompt-generator/ Genre:  Seasonal Character:  A struggling musician Material:  A saxophone Sentence:  "It was her!" Bonus:  Your charac...
