What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.

He escaped the paper wads, the name calling, the unusual stares, and transformed himself into a new person - a character that spoke a language of love and lust. Here in this place, he was safe, protected by the armor of a true white knight.
