November 8th

Previous Prompts, Now Complete:

• Chicken (writingfreak) -
  A chicken ran in front of me, clucking as it went.  I had a sudden urge to kick it, which I immediately, and almost regretfully, squashed.
• Longbows or Crossbows (writingfreak) -
  
  “Oh, look, longbows,” I said as we passed a small wooden-weapons shop.  
  
  “Crossbows are better,” my travelling companion said as we came to a small shop that had shoddy, but period appropriate dresses on the side of it.
• Oracle (Sushi) -
  “Oracles don’t accept money,” a small, frail-looking, old woman said with a thick, vaguely English accent, pushing some fabric that was hanging in front of the door out of her way.
• Transportation Problems (Nancy) -
  I began to panic as I felt Mason’s hand slip away from me.  Suddenly the electricity stopped and the humming turned into a loud buzz.  Looking around me, I could only see blue, but not the same blue I usually saw while travelling through the portal.  Instead, this was more of a midnight blue, and it frightened me.  I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, and, when the portal spit me out, I began to hyperventilate.

Current Least Favorite Prompt-Giver:

Thea.  I have no clue how to fit in all these "double entendre newspaper headline" prompts without actually having a ton of newspapers in my novel.
