The following short story was submitted in the Creative Writing Class at Bartlett Senior Center, Bartlett, TN. The assignment was to use the random words below (or any form thereof) and write something interesting.
summer ~ impossible ~ escape ~ forecast ~ quickly
seduction ~ sociable ~ responsibility ~ hope ~ mysterious ~ fun
The kids were out of school for the summer so my forecast for the day was fun, fun, fun. I had promised them excitement but our hope for a sociable day at the beach quickly escaped as the seduction of overcast skies made it impossible for us to stay. I had a responsibility to keep them safe so we packed up our towels, sunscreen, and umbrellas and were off to the zoo instead for a tour of those mysterious island creatures.
