100wc#18 Season 3 -The Gadget

There was a deafening silence after the war of thunder and lightning. The orange sky became darker and darker as minutes passed.

Despite the hazards of thunder and lightning, Melton was still swimming. He was trying out his new gadget – a t-shirt, a pair of track pants, and a helmet. These items of clothing were very special. They could be worn as day clothes or pyjamas. In fact, they could be worn all day, every day. The clothes could clean themselves and were fire-proof and could repel electricity.

As Melton swam, a bolt of lightning had zapped him. He barely felt anything, only a light tap on the shoulder.

Prompt: Words -Silence   Orange    Thunder    Pyjamas    Swam”

100wc#16 Season 3 – The last ‘Baaa’

It stalked its prey. It crept up behind the sheep. It sauntered just a few feet behind its evening meal. The sheep was oblivious. He just grazed the grass he came upon. The sheep never found out the truth – who killed it, why it killed him. One moment it was there, the next it was gone; no life could have been left in it after the tiger ripped it apart. The sheep didn’t feel anything. It never got hurt. It just uttered its last ‘Baaa’ as if it were a prayer, then, suddenly, it was pounced upon by the vicious tiger.

Prompt: Word – … suddenly…

I went to battle again today. This match could be the turning point in my career as a gladiator. Petrifying!
The crucial ‘Weapon Picking Ceremony’ was about to begin. The manager wheeled a big box to the center of the arena and asked me to pick my weapon first. I put my hand in the box and felt a cold and sharp blade. I was praying that it would be lethal. I grabbed it and pulled it out of the box. The audience gasped – it was a massive gladius, possibly the best weapon available. It was a sign that I was destined for glory.

100wc#12 Season 3 – The Drone Race

After having a row with my brother, I was eating some chips and a sweet when I saw that there was a drone racing competition on TV. I immediately chose which candidate I would support. I watched the guy that I was supporting press some buttons on his remote-control. 3…2…1…Let the Race Begin. A whirring sound came from the rotors. I needed to know who was going to win! As I watched the drones fly up in the air, I lost count of how many chips I was eating. Soon I realized that I had eaten a whole ‘Family Size’ pack. I was feeling queasy, so I decided to lie down. Quickly, I fell asleep and never knew who won the race.

Prompt: “Words – Row, chips, sweet, fly, lie”

When the connection broke we were petrified. We were all used to having orders! I took up the lead since I was the most experienced in our group. I dispatched a platoon to man the missile launchers and another to erect defensive barricades. I and a few others fought on the front line. As sweat poured from our faces, we fought for what we were told to fight for – victory.

100wc#5 Season 3 – The Engulfing Flames

Red flames engulfed the building as the alarm yelled. A large truck screeched around the bend and halted. A dozen firemen flew from the truck and soared above the building. They turned on their hoses and jets of water smashed onto the destructive flames.

Suddenly, there was an explosion, sending glass and concrete high up into the sky. A fireman was hit and plummeted into the lake. The firefighters called for back-up, and they tried, in vain, to extinguish the fire. Gallons of water were dumped onto the dancing flames, yet there was no change – no change to the misery.
