Alphabet Story

Directions: See if you can write a story of exactly 26 sentences. But here is the hard part: Make the first sentence start with an a, the second with a b, the third with a c and so on through the alphabet. (For x you may cheat and use a word beginning with the prefix ex.)

Try and see if you can get through the entire alphabet with your story!


Here's my stab at it below: *Caution, it's NOT as easy as it sounds, but it'll definitely keep you entertained for a bit if you give it a chance.

Allie buckled from the sting of teeth in her skin. Black-red spots of blood pooled over the wound. Cringing in disgust and agony, she struggled to crawl away. Darkness swept over her vision. Everything fell away. Fleeting glimpses of her attacker haunted her sleep.

Groaning in distress, she jolted awake. Her bed was soaked in her sweat and the reopened wound. Incapable of sitting up, Allie whimpered softly to the empty room. Just then--she felt it--creeping up her leg under the blanket. Keeping her breathing level, she threw the cover off. Laughing softly, it continued to crawl leisurely toward her.

"Monster. Get away! I will slice you--"

"No, stupid girl, you won't."

Opening her mouth to utter a scream for help, it struck. Paralyzation quietly crept over her. Quills of venom again slid out of her flesh. Realizing it had her, Allie strained to fight the poison streaming again through her blood. Secret whispers seeped desperately from her trembling lips.

"Too late," the creature cruelly smirked, searching longingly for her throat.

"Unbind me...unbind me..." she willed an unseen force.

Venom froze her. White strands of sparkling light crisscrossed her bound body.

"Xxxxxxshhhhssss." The fanged maw let out a sound of fear and hatred.

"You were foolish to return" the young women hissed back. Zealously cackling, she plucked the ribbon-like form from her chest as hollow teeth drover through her fingers.

Well, it's far from perfect, but I had great fun writing this--if you couldn't tell. Yeah, I know a lot of my stories focus on a young female character battling some creepy creature bent on destroying them. You try writing a story with a antagonistic creature/person and tell me it's not fun to write the dialogue for him/her/it!

I really hope lots of you will give this a try. Mind, it can be about ANYTHING your pretty/handsome (if you're a man...and slightly insecure) noggin desires!

It does not need to be a creepy, angst-filled story...like mine. You can write about bright, happy, and sunshiney happenings--just give it a chance! I would so love to read it!

Cheers!
