Important notes:
Thank you to all who participated in last week's prompt Intuition
 @diikaan | Landlord Palaver
The facilities are seldom maintained, rents constantly hiked without prior notice and eviction notices served without a grace window as stipulated by law. In their houses, landlords take the position of demigods where everything starts and ends with them and their tenants have no input or choice whatsoever. |
 @lightpen | In defiance of my intuition
One of them raised up his hoodie and what I saw underneath was a pistol. Immediately I saw the weapon, I complied with all their demands. |
 @amiegeoffrey | The Whispers of my Soul
The look on my face was like that of a prodigal son who rebelled against his father; I felt broken because I rebelled against my intuition, I managed to collect my phone, but when I double-tapped the screen, a part of the screen was even broken, I guess they stepped on it mistakenly, and lastly, the battery even reduced to 10%. "I should have listened to you", I soliloquized, but all I heard was "It's too late now!" |
 @jhymi | Saved By The Sixth
I woke up one morning, a week later and knew something was amiss. That churning and queasiness in my stomach that spelt impending doom was at full blast. I barely donned my bathrobe as I raced out of my room and dashed outside like a woman possessed. I saw him handing the papers to Dad with a pen. And my world stilled. Slowing down to a painful halt as my mind worked in double time. I saw the law enforcement. I saw the house being seized. All manner of destruction before my mind's eye like a movie. |
Our third place winner is 
I entered with my daughter to the first room full of huge stained glass windows that covered the walls and ceilings, the colorful painted light illuminated the room. The atmosphere was humid and even though there were people sitting on the benches and walking in the different rooms, it felt quiet. We went up some granite stairs to the place where the image of the virgin was, a holy card that according to the story was found in the hand of the Indian Coromoto when he died.
Our second place winner is 
When I reached my apartment, an eerie silence greeted me. It was so unlike my Emmanuel to be so quiet, especially when there was power. Either he filled the space with music or loud noise from the TV from watching his favorite Nollywood show, but that day, it was as though time had stopped in his absence.
Our first place winner is 
To tell him that it was an assumption, that my instinct as a woman was giving me signals, would have been to accept the madness he was accusing me of. So I simply looked him in the face and perhaps in order not to argue at that moment, I gave him my silence. Still, silence also speaks loudly, I thought, trying to ward off the dark presage of a breakup.
There are so many interpretations for this word that it should produce some really interesting creative stories. Someone could be the object of your interest, or you might be inexplicably drawn to a particular object. Let your imagination roam over the stories that make up your life to find something wonderful to share.
This week we ask you to write a creative personal story that reads like fiction using words related to 'object'.
For this topic, there are several possible approaches. For example:
Tell us about it! And remember to integrate storytelling elements like characters, scene setting, dialogue and action to bring your story to life!
Have fun and good luck! We look forward to reading your stories.
