Tag: Writing Prompt

  • Rose

    My mother had a rose bush outside our house in Colorado. Thankfully the smell of a roses doesn’t mother me, or remind me of my mother. It reminds me of my Nanny. A woman who took care of me for five years while my mother hunted.

  • Shallow

    Shallow? Conceited? Concerned with the superficial? I suppose that fits me to a degree. It’s what I pretend to be. Where looks matter. Where I’m the center of attention and don’t really care about anyone else.

  • The Ruler of…

    The ruler of the Venatori is a kind old man who I’ve never really met. He’s been the leader for 40+ years and he is the main face of the Venatori and of the Apex Unlimited building – even though Dr. Asher Eriksen owns the company and the building. His son will inherit the CEO…

  • Calendar

    I schedule nearly everything. Though I’m not nearly as bad as Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory – I don’t schedule the bathroom. Not that anal about things.

  • Binary

    1 or 0. Yes or No. Black or White. The world isn’t binary there are so many shades of grey between white and black, so many infinitesimal numbers between one and zero.

  • Time

    Time is one of those things that is relative to the person standing in that moment. My time in the Academy felt like forever. My time out in the field, these past ten years has gone by in a flash.

  • One Extra

    Today is leap day. A hell of a day to be born, having a real birthday once every 4 years – totally suck if you ask me. Not that birthdays are something all the great for a child without a family either.

  • Drunk

    I’ve been drunk once in my life. It was a rare occasion in which I was actually having a good time with my roommates – yes the very same roommates who bullied and tortured me throughout school.

  • Crazy in Love

    Not something I have ever been in. Never been in love – definitely not crazy in love. Some would say I’m in love with myself. Egotistically speaking maybe I am, but I’m no narcissist. I’m aware of my own faults and I try to correct or compensate for them – though usually in the wrong…

  • The Bone Crunched

    Have you ever walked into a mass grave dump site? The bones crunching underneath your feet. Sadly I have – all part and parcel to the whole hunter gig! Most supernatural creatures do not eat humans for dinner – with the exception of vampires they do drink blood.

  • The Fight

    Early in my career as a hunter, I faced my first dragon. I was young, naive and pretty full of myself. I’d just come off my final training as a hunter and I was on my own for the first time in as an adult. We were having a regular good ol’ fashioned Mexican standoff.

  • Mr & Mrs

    Marriage is pretty traditional in the Venatori. Though being unmarried and having children is also very common. I chose the picture associated with this because it’s not traditional as I’m not traditional.

  • Wet

    Again my mind goes to the first childish thing in me – one of three topics I love to talk about, myself, food and of course, sex. But water has a much greater influence despite my initial reaction to giggle like a school age child. There is a fifth unbendable element – it is the…

  • The File

    My file is rather large. I have been with the Academy since I was 5. I have been in therapy since I was 6. I was in trouble a lot so there were quite a few incident reports in school. I have been hunting for 10 years. All this combined makes for a very large…

  • No Pen

    Since the subject is No Pen, I won’t write anymore. Here are images that speak to me on a personal level.

  • Blanket

    Security blankets were not something I had as a child. Before coming to the Venatori I didn’t need one, I was safe in the knowledge that I was loved but it was shattered when my mother spat at me for being a monster – an uncontrollable and dangerous magnus that would end up hurting more…

  • Frozen

    Frozen conjures several images for me but one stands out among the crowd. Frozen is a nightclub owned by Johnny Rose. My first visit there was astonishing.

  • A Pink Tutu

    My first inclination and thought about this prompt was about my sexuality. However, being me isn’t just about the things I complain about what other people find offensive about me. So I’ll go a different direction. Dance!

  • Stiff

    Insert Beavis and Butthead laughter here. “Hehe, he said stiff.” Yes, I’m twelve! In all honesty I can’t get past that particular thought.

  • What a Jerk!

    I remember being a child – hiding from the bullies around the corner uttering to Jace those very same words that I know get “what a jerk. I know my mouth is a defense mechanism to push people away so I don’t get hurt. I will never allow them to push my buttons so that…

  • No, I won’t

    I won’t do it. Hardly a phrase I’ve ever uttered. But there is one thing I will never do – try to kill someone because it is my “god given duty” to.
