Sound of Sirens: Day 481: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday

Log 5092

We had gotten away on our ship with the looted gold without losing a man of ours. The heist went off as planned, a rarity enjoyed once every other blood moon.

We sailed toward the golden sun that was two hours away from setting.

I looked back at the sandy shore where I saw a group of armed men angrily throwing their weapons down on the beach, not able to make chase.

We were an hour out when my men heard the sound of sirens. Their enchanting voices were beacons of death for my men. I witnessed their eyes turn a ghostly bright white all over.

One at a time they began jumping into the water where sharp rocks lay in wait to take the lives of all who jumped over board. Veins of red blood looked like lighting in a thunder storm.

One man grabbed a crown of feathers before jumping. I could do nothing to hold him back because he was ten times stronger than I.

You might be asking yourself how is it that I'm alive to tell you the tell. I'm deaf.

Ongoing Contests

  • twenty-four hour short story - You gotta be quick to get this one posted in time. He posts the contest on Sunday (usually) and ends it about 48 hours later. This contest has a 2000 word limit.

  • Finish the Story Contest - The contest begins on Wednesday (usually) and end 5 days later. This contest will test your write skills with something a little different each week. Pletty of time to write something around the 500 word mark.

  • Steem Monsters Common Card Fantasy Story Contest! - Coming out roughly every week. If you enjoy card games like Magic, Yugio, and others like it, you might like this game. Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.

  • Tell A Story To Me, And Win 5 SBD! Writing Contest - Kind of random when it comes out but don't worry. You will have two weeks to complete your work of art from the given prompt. Have fun!

  • Haiku - These are coming out every couple days or so. If you stuggle with rhymes, no worries. Haikus don't have to rhyme. All you need to make a haiku is five syllable on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllable for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super product. LOL

  • Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku Contest - By reading the title, you should be able to guess how this haiku contest works. You're given an image and you write. I've really enjoy this contest because there are people here who've actually gone to classes to learn how to write haiku's; so if you want, you also can learn how to write quality haikus from reading the comments and critiques they and others give.

  • Micro-Fiction Writing Contest - This is a fun challenge. You get two-hundred and fifty words to tell a story or a vignettes. Here is a great post that will explain the difference between the two concepts. Here is another post explanation of what a story is. Good luck, Brave Story Writer!

  • Vocab-Ability 1x1 - What happens is you are given a list of roots and the words they can be found in. You create sentence using those words and post in the comment section of the post. Your upvote for your creative work will come soon. One of the best way to increase your vocabulary is by doing these 10-15 minute exercises almost daily. What craziness will you create?
