Writing Meme: Day Six
Day One: Write ten lines of dialogue between two characters who had drunken sex last night and are not talking about it. Ever.
Day Two: Write a scene in four sentences in which two characters bond over something that would seem trivial to a passerby.
Day Three: Write seven sentences from the perspective of a passerby witnessing Day Two's scene.
Day Four: Write a character's reaction to someone's love confession in one sentence.
Day Five: Write a scene in eight sentences in which someone's going through his/her version of "It's a Wonderful Life."
Day Six: Write a scene in six sentences in which a character is searching for someone in the last moments of the end of the world.
Day Seven: Write a breakup scene in three sentences without giving the reason for it or using dialogue.
Day Eight: Write two characters' second kiss in two sentences.
Day Nine: Ask flist for prompts. Write one sentence each for the first five prompts you receive.
Day Ten: Use these lyrics as a prompt: "There's only now/There's only here/Give in to love/Or live in fear" ("Another Day" from RENT) and write a story in nine sentences.
A gradual decrease of gravitation itself and a slow thickening of the air was how it finally happened; buildings disintegrating almost gently, with pieces floating upwards rather than falling down. There was panic, fear, sadness, of course; but none of the irrational chaos and frightful hysteria you would’ve expected. Aki moved through it unseeingly, mind set on the only person who mattered, fearing the air would stick to his lips without reaching his lungs before he could see Kenzo again. His very skin was slowly peeling off his body, tiny flakes swivelling into the air like ashes, by the time he knocked on the drummers crumbling door. Kenzo opened it with worry in his eyes, long hair floating in the too light air and lips literally falling apart. An exchange of smiles, a hand offered and grasped with dissolving fingers, and in the end things were almost okay.
A/N: The first day I wrote when I decided to do this meme. I harbour a secret desire to one day write an end of the world fic that's not full of clichés and stupid stuff, but I doubt I could pull it off the way I want to. So here, a six sentence taste.
