For The Love Of Creation: Writing Prompts

Just 3 random writing prompts I did.

"Yes... Yes sir." Colten's lip trembled and he quickly swallowed, forcing down the pain flaring from every cut and bruise on his body. It was not manly to cry. It would be weakness, to cry.

"Boy. Look me in the eye." Colten blinked furiously and forced his gaze to his fathers.

"Sir?"

"Never, again. Now go." A tear traced down Colten's cheek washing away some of the blood and grime. He spun as quickly as his aching head would allow, then stumbled out the door with an unearthly ache in his heart.

(The stupid picture wouldn't load for this one... grrrrr...)

The tiniest of smiles tugged at Kenna's mouth. "He did always have the answer to everything, didn't he."

"He sure thought he did." Diana dared to smile, but it quickly vanished when she glanced over at Kenna. Tears were still flowing freely down her friends face and her lip was trembling as she remembered a man that had once lived. Diana quickly and gently reached over and grasped Kenna's hands.

"Kenna, dear, he would want you to live, to have a happy life. He would... He would say he knows you're hurting, and he knows what you're going through, but he would also say that the answer to his absence is to keep going. You have to know he loved you, and that there was a reason he saved you. You can't blame yourself for this. He would want you to keep trying, to keep going..."

"You know where to find me, if, you know, you ever get lonely or something."

Emmie laughed. "Yeah! of course. But, I think I'll manage." She winked, and I was graced with one more enthusiastic smile and a quick hug before she turned and flat out ran away from me. I stared at her back retreating into the sunset and let myself see, for the first time, that I knew she was beautiful. I allowed my heart to tell me that yes, I did love her, and yes, there she was, running away from me, and here I was being an idiot doing absolutely nothing about it.

Ciao!
