Write on... Thursday?

Yeah, I know, I suck. But I'll save the lame excuses and just do it now. :) I'm really excited, this is my first try!

Here's the directions and prompt for this week;


The Write On Wednesday Rules: Feel free to get creative with the writing exercises - there isn't a right or wrong. Please do try to visit the other members of Write On Wednesdays and leave a comment. You can grab the button for Write On Wednesdays from my sidebar.

Write On Wednesdays Exercise 7 - Sit under a tree and write: Find yourself a quiet spot. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Take a look at Kristy's Tree Photo. Write the first words that come into your head. Keep writing whatever comes into your head. Stop when the buzzer rings. Do this exercise over and over if you wish. If like me, you struggle with visual prompts, perhaps try sitting under a tree to write. I have heard that changing your usual writing place can spark new inspiration. Try it and see. Do both if you please!

Sit Under a Tree and Write- Callie and Sammy's NeverEverLand
"Callie?" Sammy yelled out to the darkness of the night. He shivered as he walked slowly off the patio and into the damp grass. He'd never been out this way before, and frankly couldn't wait to never come back.
"Over here!"
"Where's here?! Did you grow cat eyes in five minutes, or have you always been able to see in the dark?"
"I'm by the tree, Sammy. I'm sure you can make it out."
He could. Who could miss that tree? It's tired  branches stretched out so high up that he couldn't make out an end. The roots came all the way out to the very end of the grass where the concrete patio started, possibly growing further under that.
"Okay, coming," as he followed the gigantic roots to their base, the fog started to clear. He could see Callie a little clearer now, her eyes were round and excited.
"Sammy... I think we're home."
"In the backyard?"
"No! I mean this house! This area! This family!"
"Why's that?"
"Look inside here..." she pointed to a small opening in the base of the great tree's trunk.
Sammy looked inside and couldn't believe what his near-blind eyes were seeing.
