Challenge
The World in 15 words...
Annik

A questioning of the perception of our world.

If the world only

exists

inside

inside of me

then does that make me my world?

Challenge
Write a story in only first person. You are not allowed to use any third person or second person pronouns (you/he/she/it/them/yours/theirs/etc.). Any genre, but it has to be prose. (Tag me @MayFlower )
No use of any pronouns other than first person. This will be challenging, but be creative. It is possible.
Annik in Fiction

Just me ?

I wake up. I sit on my bed. I reach for my book and I look up the page I left my bookmark on. I read. I get up and make coffee. I drink. I wash my cup. I play a game of solitaire, beating my previous record. I yawn. I reread yesterdays news and realise that I am supposed to go water my plants, so I do. I am hungry. I make lunch. I eat from my favorite plate. I sneeze loudly,  "Bless me". I watch my afternoon show. I laugh. I walk around the house collecting my dirty laundry. I start the machine. I shover. I feel cold. I drink tea and eat my evening snack. I brush my teeth with my old, pink toothbrush. I pee. I crawl into my bed. I close my eyes. I breathe. I listen to my breath. 

I'm not alone... 

Challenge
Explore the concept of Infinity in a Poem
Annik in Poetry & Free Verse

tiny infinities

Usually when we talk about infinity, we think big. 

Bigger than earth, 

than universe

or even big. 

Bigger than big. 

More huge than huge. 

So much that you can't really realize or even begin to consider how much much fits in it. 

But infinity can be small. 

Like a baby infinity, 

born into a grown up,  infinite, world.

Just picture this one point in space. 

One tiny point.

And the infinite chances it beholds. 

Infinite means endless. 

But endless doesn't mean a lot. 

beware of small infinities 

Challenge
Try this challenge. Write a 30 word short story (any genre), but there's a catch. The first and third sentence must contain 5 words each while the second and fourth sentence must contain 10 words each.
Just as it says in the challenge prompt.
Annik in Flash Fiction

Asleep.

I woke up that day. 

Before, I felt like everything was just a fantom coulisse. 

Smoke, fog and frail broderies. 

But that day it knocked me out, Everything Was Real. 

Challenge
Once Upon a Time... This 15-word challenge is actually an 11-word challenge, because the first four words have to be: "Once upon a time"! (humor, as ever and always, is greatly appreciated!)
Annik in Comedy

Once upon a time we didn't need to start with it "Once upon a time..." 

Challenge
Hopes and Fears.....<< bring them to life. >>
Share your biggest hopes and fears.....<< bring them to life. >>
Annik in Poetry & Free Verse

But not today.

I look out the window and I know that one day I will step on the street and let myself be taken wherever the path may leed . I will meet the people I have wanted to meet and see the sky and feel the wind and laugh and cry and be like everybody.  I want to open the door. It isn't locked. Just one step. I want to. I am in control. This is my life. I can. I will. But... not today. 

I am 21 years or older.
