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

Tell Tale


He watches me with surprising confidence.
My hand trembles slightly.
The difference between triumph and disaster is marginal.
I breathe.
Either I split the apple or I shatter my son’s skull.
