It's that time of week again :D


Write On Wednesdays Exercise 8 - The clock winked...Write the words "The clock winked" at the top of your page. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Write the first words that come into your head after the prompt. Stop when the buzzer rings. Do this exercise over and over if you wish. Write beyond 5 minutes if you like, you can link it up as an extra post.

Okay, so this promt goes with Callie and Sammy, so I'll continue :D

 Callie and Sammy's NeverEverLand #2

The clock winked...
Both kids stared in awe.
"Callie..."
"I know,"
In all their years of foster homes they have never, ever been to one with anything like this. And believe me, they'd been to a lot.
"We'll never leave," Callie continued.
"Never ever." 
Callie turned around and backed her way into the tiny hole in the great tree's trunk.
"Callie!"
"I gotta know..." she slipped the rest of herself in and looked around. She felt like she was dreaming. How could a tree have another world under it? It kind of looked like a regular meadow. Tall, smooth grass; little yellow buttercup patches here and there; happy bunnies with their fluffy babies; the whole thing. Except, there was a clock. A huge, very vintage looking, clock. Just standing there. Almost looking down on her as she walked towards it like an angry parent. It had these two big circles on the face, one half filled in, the other empty. That must be why it looked like it was winking. Other than at first glance, this clock did not look like the friendly guy we've all seen on Beauty and the Beast. Callie was sure that if it was alive, it would not be singing "Be Our Guest!" and dancing for her when she entered the meadow.
Rustle
 Sammy appeared behind her.
"Shhh!" she put her flushed index finger up to her mouth. She didn't know why she felt the need to be quiet, but something was telling her this place wasn't as peaceful as it looked from outside the tree.

  1. Please continue. I like the concept and I think you tied in the new prompt very well. It definitely makes for an intriguing idea, a vintage clock like an angry parent standing in a new land within a tree. Wow! Thanks for linking up again. I hope you are enjoying the exercises and your story!
