Week Twenty One: The second time she pushed me under...

Goodness, such violence.

Like Week Twenty, this one was also intended to be a first line. And so, similarly, feel free to use it as a first line, second line, last line, or even as a thematic springboard for something else entirely.

The prompt, in case you can't read my doctor's scrawl:

The second time she pushed me under, I knew she wasn't kidding.

Let's move backwards on the word count in order to lure more writerlies to the cause: 400 words, Sunday, midnight!

Tell your friends. All of your friends.

Week Twenty: The elevator did not have a button for floor 5

Okay, so Freshman Me did not know how "elevator" is spelled.

If you can find it in your dark, withered heart to forgive the error, this week's prompt (the twentieth! that's a milestone, right?) is interesting in that it was intended to be the first line of a story. 

So! This could be your first line, or, like the others, you could use it as more of a thematic starting point.

The world is your oyster! (I hope you like oysters.)

500 words, Sunday, midnight, hoo-rah!
