WRITING EXERCISE
Time for the December 50-word prompts writing exercise.
Quick reminder of the rules: Write two 50-word flashes. Aim for 50 words, give or take five extra words. Don’t read my attempts until after you do your own. Writing them directly in the comment section below will help you focus on the flash aspect – just getting words out.

TEXT PROMPT: Work
“Worth it, let me work it” pounded from the speakers. Franz watched the human mass below. Some women twerking were thicc. Sipping his whiskey, he wondered if anyone would notice if his glass sipped from his fingers. He didn’t get to find outs since his assassin pulled him back from the balcony’s edge. The glass fell to the sticky upper floor.

VISUAL PROMPT
Gliding Cliff felt like the edge of the world. Clem breathed deep. Time to try this. After standing, he cracked spine, twisting his head left and right. One last deep breath, the better to scream with if it didn’t work.
He leapt. Come up – open up, open up, open up.
