The 100 word Challenge

This week in literacy we have been doing 100 words stories.  we got given a list of title ideas and we chose the ones that inspire us. 
here are my 100 word stories.

I didn't know they could fly...

Priscilla skipped along the cracked road mindlessly, the sun was sinking slowly into the night as the moon slipped past it up into the baby blue sky, she halted, she heard a rustle in the silence a long tail dragged past a tree trunk and slithered into a rose bush that was thick with thorns.

A possessed Lemur. In this world all the animals had been possessed.  They don't know how though. She whipped out her illuminate wand and shined it and the bush. Suddenly the lemur rose from the bush and flew off. 

“I didn't know they could fly?”

this story is exactly 100 words!

here is my second story

Sorry!

She walked along the halls with a swing in her hips. She brushed her silky chestnut hair out of her eyes. She looked so perfect. I need to talk to her. Maybe she would be my friend. I walked over to her squeezing through other students to get to her. She saw me and waved. I scrambled to get to her but she started walking again I ran to her and bumped into her. “OW!” she said as we collided.

I looked at her hazel eyes  and stared blankly at them for a few seconds maybe minutes and said “Sorry.”

That story is also exactly 100 words.

the hardest part of the 100 word challenge was getting the right amount of words in to the story to make it interesting but you also need enough words to finish the story

I found out that If you don't have enough words in your story, describing words are good gap fillers in two ways

1- You can get the right amount of words

2- you make your story more interesting.

I found that I always had to many words and had to delete some words.

on the first story I had 144 words which was way to many but I couldn't find anything to get rid of.

I think the 100 word challenge is a good activity and I enjoyed it.
