5 minute freewrite challenge - The Over 20 Club

Roughly two months ago - give or take a few days or a week - I joined one of the more amazing communities here on the STEEM platform - The Freewriters!

It is a community "lead" by @mariannewest who delivers freshly baked writing prompts on a daily basis. She then allows you 5 minutes to write a story about that idea, some extra time to edit out the typos you might have made, ... and then you present your work to the others.

Why is it so special and different?
Because it's pure creativity and originality! You only get 5 minutes to write down whatever comes to mind! It reflects the way your brain works and how your ideas connect to one another.
It's a great exercise both for writing down a short story and for brainstorming for a longer piece.
And it's fun. Tonnes of fun!

Aside of that, @mariannewest also nominates 5 people every week who have done 20 or more freewrites and invites them to write up a post containing their favorite stories they have come up with and are past their payouts. That way she allows us to get an extra set of eyes on our former stories, and get some upvotes on the tribute post, because upvotes on older posts don't give any $$$$$$. Also, this forces the freewriters to re-read their work and pick only the finest of their stories.

This week, @mariannewest nominated me to present you with 3 of my favorite stories I have done as freewrites!

And here they are!

1. Firstly I would like to present the story I've come up with when given the prompt "pen".
   Because I don't want to give away too much and ruin it's final twist, I'll only tell you that it's a love story between two individuals who can never be together.
   Check it out by clicking here.
   ^{Sadly no picture here.}

2. Like the first choice, this one also has a twist I wish not to give away before you read the story itself. This time, however, it has to do with the provided prompt. It's written in a way to make you believe something much worse is going on.... Until you learn what the prompt was.
   Check it out by clicking here.
   ^{Sadly no picture here either.}

3. And of course, last but not least, Wild West. The very favorite of all my freewrites.
   I wrote the first part to this story as an ordinary freewrite, but then a Steemian asked me to write a part 2... And then I wrote part 3, and part 4, and ... ... I'm now 43 parts down the line, with one full chapter completed, and the story had only just begun well. There's no knowing where the story will take you... Or where it will take me... Each part is the result of a new daily writing prompt and only 5 minutes time.
   Nothing is predetermined. Nothing is set in stone. Everything is possible.
   Become a part of this grand story in the making! Click here to begin reading at part 1.
