In my current non-writing state I did not even jump at the chance of writing this week’s 100 Word Challenge! Normally I have it written before the proverbial ink dries on the announcement, and here I am days later and just looking at it. But it is never too late (well technically it is too late if the next challenge is offered but who needs to be technical?)
This week’s challenge is a bit of a fun twist. We are to write from somebody else’s perspective. Specifically the someone else who the arrow is pointing to in the pic below.
Here goes:
What IS that from? And what has it been eating? I should probably warn the others to watch where they put their feet. Seems like someone already stepped in it. Well everyone except Mary. I owe her one. She got me good at the last party. I was sitting there minding my own business, and out of no where … nope, not warning Mary. Though she does make good deserts, And she shares her recipes with me. I especially like that cookie creation she brought in the other day. That was just soooooo yummy. Darn! Now I want a cookie!
I liked your interpretation.
Thanks. Another one to get the mind going well
It’s tough when literary skills dry up but you got back on board very quickly. I like your interpretation.
Sometimes one just needs to do it
I like the idea of taking on the perspective of someone in a photo. Well done!

The masters of the 100 Word Challenge do come up with inspiring ideas!
Eurgh, what did she step in!? Good one. It’s harder as a guy I guess to write from the point of view of a girl, but you did it admirably.
While I do embrace my inner goddess, I have to admit I don’t really think like a woman no
Well, Tao, at the risk of stereotyping (%$%^), we dont tend to worry as girls do, trying to juggle and make sense of a myriad thoughts at once. I reckon blokes her age have simpler perspectives most of the time (sweep , sweep). Can I feel thunder brewing ….?
Brave soul!! Haha!
Love this – all her different thoughts, and yes – it SO looks like she has seen something nasty on the pavement… Nice piece!
Thanks! First thing that hit me
Can’t believe nobody else has asked what Mary did to deserve not being told! It must have been something pretty awful!
I would sure like to know too!!
Hehehe, love the stream of consciousness going on. Ewww, Mary, party, recipes, yummy, hungry. Very good!
I can’t be the only one who thinks that way! Haha!

I like the way you’ve captured her stream of consciousness. You got me curious – I too would like to know what Mary did =)
Might have to explore the evil of Mary a bit haha
I love the way you have tracked the wanderings of this particular mind! Now I want a cookie – you wretch!
I always want a cookie myself! Seemed appropriate!
