Wild West - Chapter 1 - Part 28 - 5 minute freewrite challenge
Chapter 1
Wild West - Part 28
“I was out to kill a town mayor who had gone rogue down in Kornwell,” James leaned forward and paid very close attention to Tom’s words. “The bastard wanted to buy the town’s only water supply so he could sell it on for large profits, and I-…” Tom burst laughing uncontrollably and needed some time to get ahold of himself. “You should’ve seen your face,” he kept on laughing. “I’m so sorry, I just couldn’t resist! It’s for the ladies, but apparently it works on you too! I got this trinket at a yard sale for cheap a long time ago, then figured I’d try and use it for something silly. I tucked in a piece of paper with a random word written on it, and… oh boy… You should have seen how much the ladies love a little mystery. Every time I went out at least one girl asked me about it, and every time I came up with a different bullshit story. How I was fighting a war in Europe, how it’s a message of my deceased best friend, whatever story I came up with. And best of all? They fell for it every time. Every single time,” Tom made sure to emphasize every word of his last sentence. “Just like you!” Tom laughed out loud uncontrollably again and James – instead of being angry – laughed along; “Oh, you… Good one!"

If you enjoy writing yourself, I am hosting a constrained writing contest, where each week I limit your writing with various rules and force you to be creative in brand new ways! If you're not a writer yourself, check it out and see what others have come up with! :D
I turn your writing prompts into stories.
Want such a table for your own work? Or even make it better?

It's great to see that you're still continuing with your story comprised of a collection of #freewrites! The characters really come to life =)
I decided to take a crack at today's prompt using The Most Dangerous Writing App. It was a bit terrifying to think I could lose my work at any moment but it really kept me in the spirit of the #freewrite! Anyways, here's my post! Let me know in the comments what you think =)
Thanks for the kind comment! :D
On my way to check it ;)
Ha! Okay, he got me too! We ladies do love a mysterious stranger..😉
winks right back at ya!
You got it in really well!!
Thanks! :D Really blew the whole mystery thing, though :p
Haha, nice! It's like tetris: stacking the prompts together in the right way so they cancel each other out.
Or compliment each other :p All depends on how the mind wanders during the 5 minutes and what the prompt is. :p
Glad you liked it ^^
