The Weekend Freewrite 7

in #writing7 years ago

Hi Everyone!

This is my Weekend Freewrite that @mariannewest works her bum off to put together every day for anyone that wants to play along.

I will say that it has become the most therapeutic thing I have ever done. I owe her so many thanks that soon she will be tired of me saying it! LOLL

I think I'm not the only one that now looks forward to the weekend #freewrite just to see what three CRaZy prompts she has in store for us to weave into a tale.

This story is dedicated to @byn. She is in need of a happy story today and I hope I filled the bill with what you are about to read.

There I was, just standing there, when what I wanted to do was forbidden.

They had said the rules must be followed for a reason. Never stating what that reason was. It was always so frustrating when being told what to do when no real reason was given.

As I stood there and contemplated my life I knew this would be the turning point I had been waiting for my whole life.

No more following the rules for me. My time was at hand.

Too many times I had been here before only to be stopped by fear but over the years I had learned to control that fear for just this day.

I reached over and turned the switch and the music started to play. It was a happy sound like the forest came alive in front of me. You could smell the moss, the leaves from the trees and hear the animals rustling about on their daily tasks.

The sense of peace that came over me was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of.

Was this why they keep this a secret?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She may be young, but she is not stupid thought Charlie on that fateful day when the new world opened up before her very eyes.

She slowly stepped into the ring of the green glow to follow the sounds that were so comforting.

How could this be a bad thing? Why oh why has this secret been kept at all? To make the forest an evil thing? Why would someone go to so much trouble to hide this paradise?

Charlie walked the path of 1000 years slowly, looking at all to see.

The birds were flying in loop de loops in front of her. Charlie stopped and let out a laugh that carried for miles and sounds like the bells of old. Soft and light the sound carried over hills and planes for all to hear as Charlie made her way closer and closer to the center, the heart of the jungle she now found herself in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day I loaned Morgan 400 bucks was the best day of all thought
Charlie, as she sat on her chair like a Queen on a throne.

Leading me to be broke and broken at the bottom of the world.

Nothing to lose but her life. The fear had all gone. There was finally nothing to lose and in doing so she found the greatest gift of all, her heart and home.

The Pages then came to ask Her Royal Highness Charlie Bolin if she wanted of anything? A drink? A meal? The finest was offered to the long-lost daughter of the greatest King that ever lived and ruled the land.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day Queen Charlie came home was still celebrated and stories were told of the small women that came to call on a warm November day.

How she had no idea who she really was and how the Wizard had to explain again and again, how it came to be, that she was The Queen of all the land.

Happy Writing!

This is fantastically beautiful! Thank you... you totally did it!

Upvoted and resteemed for some added 'happy' :)

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! my work here is done for today then!! :D until I finally get some freaking voting power back again!

I'm SO happy and hope I made you feel better for just a tiny while. <3

What a fun story! I really enjoyed the happy ending! Hugs.

Thank You!! :D I love happy endings too :D

and thanks for always reading and commenting! it really means a lot to me! and Thank you for the best gift of all! The hug.

You are welcome! I love reading your freewrites And poetry. The hugs are free! <3

I usually just do the single prompts because I like to create my own imagery and three prompts sort of alters the story in a way that takes away control bit. I like your story. I can imagine this story expanding so that she eventually lost her humanity because of her newborn power and eventually decided she wanted to take over the entire solar system.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for stopping to read my story!

I saw the title's of 2 other weekend ones and they both looked pretty depressing so I had to try really hard to cram as much happy stuff as I could in the beginning so no matter what prompt was next I could recover and still steer it to a happy ending. Today is one of the first times I wish I typed faster! LOLL

and yes, there have been a few times I have been on a roll with a weekend freewrite and you get to the next prompt and I swear my eye roll back in my head thinking how am I going to use that prompt in this story! but the fun of that always wins over the one prompt option for me. :D

Awwa. That was a happy story!!!! Beautiful!

yaaaaaaaaaay!!! I'm SO happy you liked it!!! <3

I love it @snook. I just read @byn story and this is perfect as a metaphorical present to her to and bring a bit of Joy 🙂 It reads very much like a fairy tale and I didn't see the twist at the end coming. Great stuff.

yaaaaaay! it's good to know I can surprise people :D Thank you so much for reading my story and your wonderful comment! Oh and I can not wait to read more of YOUR story!! I was so happy to read you have more of it in the works!

I love this @snook! You wrote Return of the Queen!

Thank you!! Is return of the queen something I should know? :D I'm old you know LOL

No, I'm just being a dork and sort of referencing Return of the King from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's still a lovely story @snook!

Some balance is welcomed, I think, for our (and occasionally my) depressing freewrites 😄

I agree! it was hard not knowing what was coming to make it with a positive slant. Happy should not be that hard! :D

What a sweet and happy story. @byn - you are the queen!!
Love it!!
And love how we have become such a supportive community. I see how you are there - supporting everyone. Thank you so much!!
