Coins for Luck & The Playlist
This was a wish for luck, a wish for romance, a wish for safe travels, for friendship, for good food and good times. But, most of all, it was a wish for adventure. That was what she wanted most.
Turning away from the half-naked statue over sparkling water, she pinched her eyes closed and gripped her coin as hard as she could, willing the rest of her wish into the grooves of metal. With one light toss, she turned around to watch her coin break the surface.
Another wish floated silently to the bottom of the Trevi Fountain.

that was for
all_unwritten prompt 331, a photo prompt if you couldn't already tell. That's a picture taken by
lady_aduial of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. When I started writing this, I thought it would be cool to write it from the coin's point of view, but it didn't really work out that way >_< Oh well though, it still works, I think :)
This next one is a response to yesterday's prompt from A Creative Writer's Kit, "I was listening to something I heard before." It's kinda got a sad tone to it, but I don't know if it's depressing o_O Just read it, and you might see what I mean, haha.

The playlist played over and over again, the repeat button on iTunes permanently pressed. She thought the speakers might be getting tired of playing the same six songs again and again, but she didn't care. She needed this music, these lyrics in particular. It was her break-up playlist and it was definitely something she'd heard before; she never did get tired of the music though, no matter how many times she sobbed/sang them. It made everything alright, almost even justified the break-up. Two more hours of repetitiveness, one long bubblebath (candles included), and half a gallon of Edy's Chocolate Fudge Chunk ice cream later, she knew she was going to be fine - all thanks to those 6 over-played songs.

Depressing? Yes/No? Hah, I'm not even sure and I wrote the thing, lulz. Anyways, it's now 1:21 am and I shall be going to bed.
