This week’s inspiration word is: SHENANIGANS
I am still developing the main concept of my fiction piece "Enraptured Lagoon" from Write Out Wednesday...... I love this word and tried my best to incorporate the meaning in my piece. :)
The August night air was clammy and damp; making it hard to breathe while rummaging through the forest. The clouds were beginning to bury the crescent moon and all I could think about was how my sister always teased me. There was constantly a raucous caused by Annie at birthday parties, fall festivals, and even last year at Donna Fowley’s wedding. I grew jaded of my sister’s pranks; especially since I always had to come rescue her when the jokes would go wrong. I had no means to salvage her from this incident.

I really like how this unfolds. I can feel the speaker's irritation, and now I really want to know what Annie did this time :)
Excellent! More about Annie and Abigail. Annie sounds like a lot of trouble and Abigail sounds very irritated! Will Abigail ever walk away from Annie's hi-jinx?
I like this idea as a writing practice, it can be good to start small and pushes you to work on each sentence.
Glad you all enjoyed this! I am going to expand this into a longer piece -- maybe a novel at some point. :O
sjp - Yes, it is an awesome idea to expand your sentences. You should check out Lillie's page. She created the Five Sentence Fiction exercies!
These are interesting characters you are developing and you have set the physical scene well in this. I'll watch out for where this story leads!
