“Russell, are you sure you know where you’re going?” Desmond muttered as he looked around skeptically. The surroundings were awfully industrial, with dark, squat warehouses everywhere.

Oh, Desmond. I could just smack you upside the head. I really could. *shakes her head*

This was definitely one of the more interesting takes of the prompt I've seen so far. :) Good job.

[alien_writings]

Thank you. :)

Desmond...did not make the smartest decision. And there will be consequences, of course. It doesn't help that his parents are extremely opposed to slavery. Oops.

"I was... um... moved by the voice of God to save him."

^ The poor kid's best hope, assuming they have any kind of religion...

I'd certainly be interested in reading more! Wow, this could go a LOT of ways... and I expect Desmond will not like any of them. -evil grin-

[alien_writings]

I don't know if these people have any sort of religion. This story is still in the zygote stage, not even in its infancy yet, lol.

Desmond just got himself into a looooot of trouble, oops. I have no idea WHERE this story is going, but it's not going to be Happy Fun Times. Unless you're the reader.

I sense there's more to the slave's story to come. Interesting take on the prompt!

[alien_writings]

Thank you! :)

[sweeny_todd]

I liked this! not the slave market (boooo. hissssss) but I liked your take on the prompt, and the boys are nice!!

His friend smiled confidently as he waved his old smartphone around. “My phone says this is the neighborhood.”
oh gosh I can relate to this!

[alien_writings]

The moral of this story might well be "don't trust a GPS device," haha.

Thank you for your comment! :)

This was a very interesting storyline...maybe you will write more on it?

[alien_writings]

Thank you!

I might write more on it; I'll have to see how things go. :)
