Keepsake – Weekend Writing Prompt

Dunure Castle by C. E. Ayr

A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend.  How you use the prompt is up to you.  Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like.  Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise.  If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section Click here to hear the author read his words:

Keepsake

I don’t like foreigners, I holiday in England.
Hmm.
Bognor, good enough for King George V, good enough for me.
You ever visited Scotland?
God no, full of red-haired, blue-faced, unintelligible, kilted savages! You want a keepsake, they sell you haggis.
Really?
Oh yes. Where are you from?
Glasgow.

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.

  1. As an Englishman living just along the Sussex coast from Bognor with a daughter and family residing near Glasgow, this tickled my funny-bone!

    My Keepsake!

  2. Haha! Had a good laugh at this, even though (not being in/from the UK) I don’t think I get 100% of the nuances!

  3. Dear C.E.

    This prompt is habit forming, isn’t it? Awkward moment, that. 😉 Haggis? No thanks.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
