Challenge of the Week CCXXV
You're on the wrong end of a chrome .45 with a pearl grip. Write a story or poem about what put you there, and which end of the chrome you're on. End the story with the last words you will either say to the other, or the last words you will ever hear. A big, fat $25 is at stake. Winner is decided by likes. Go.

The End.

Both ends of a gun are the wrong one,

but two wrongs make a right.

I'm not so sure I belong in this world and

swallowing a bullet seems it will correct such an anomaly, so

I place my hand on the trigger, mouth on the barrel

shoot the bullet through the skull and see

bone bloom like a bomb

from above.

Prometheus part 2

I’m bind to a tree my family each held knives- Dad stab me in the neck “ you were a mistake”. Mom is next she kiss me on the forehead “ I’m shame of you” stabs me in the back. My older brother shove it in my heart “ I can’t believe you let a man give you a hand job. That’s gross.” My second oldest brother step up “we never love you” then he chop my head off. They rejoice.

I resurrect Bind to a tree my family each held knives.

Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.

Describe Your Writing

My writing is careless at best. I rarely proofread or plan. Usually, I spit some shit out on the page and hope for the best. I wish I could say it's some artistic choice to show the frailty and imperfections of existence, but it's really that I lack discipline. I guess it's a bit like fucking. Give it all the hell you have in the moment of inspiration, but you know you could have done so many things better if the goal was perfection rather than getting lost in the moment. I guess that means a typo is like knocking on the wrong door. Just laugh at yourself and keep at it and embrace the joys of imperfection. As long as the closing sums up intention the reader is left satisfied. So my shits unrefined as hell, but I like to think there's a certain beauty and innocence flowing within my awkward wordings and forced lines or conclusions. When inspiration hits, just spit it out and move on. Wait for the next time a moment cracks you open enough you feel it's worthy of sharing. Repeat. So ya, a lot like fucking.
