42 Words #3

Hi All,

Before we go and see what wonderful, exciting, thrillseeking theme Sadje has selected with her choice of number 3, let’s first see where Dave lead us with the choice of 24.  It was a venture into the great unknown of the PARANORMAL and wow what a ride, we got some amazing micro stories, which you can peruse below.

I hear you
I see you
But, are you really there
You bump in the night
Your eyes gleam from the corner
But, are you really there
Why haunt me so
I loved you
I still do
Please, stop torturing me
Dad

Now you may have noticed that I was really excited by Sadje’s pick of number 3 last week and I will now clarify why.  This theme is huge, this theme has so many options, its probably the one with the most paths to pick from and I am expecting BIG things, guys.

For this week’s theme is …

CLOWNS

Yep, big shoes, red noses, honking horns or … creepy smiles, dark laughter and all things terrifying.  We are sooooo lucky, we have clowns, lets bring in the clowns, the sad clowns, the mad clowns, the happy clowns, the funny clowns, I ain’t fussed, any clowns.

The world is your oyster folks, the big top your scene but remember the underlying rule, 42 words and its the final curtain call.

Also, this week I am giving a big shout out to Sara from Relax It’s All Write for she has chosen the theme for next week with her pick of 34 but as always if any one wants to nominate a number you’re more than welcome.

GONE	2	GONE	GONE	GONE	6	GONE
GONE	9	GONE	GONE	12	GONE	GONE
15	16	GONE	GONE	19	20	GONE
GONE	GONE	GONE	25	GONE	GONE	GONE
29	30	31	GONE	GONE	34	35
36	GONE	38	39	GONE	GONE	GONE

Here’s my take on this week’s prompt:

One minute you’re here, the next you’re gone.

He smeared the white cream thick and then with a steady hand he painted the markings around his eyes and applied the rouge to his cheeks.

He even smiled as he positioned the bright red nose.

Then he picked up the gun.
