Oh yes, it’s that time of the week again! It’s the 100 Word Challenge from Julia’s Place. If you’re seeing this from now on… it means it’s FRIDAAAAAAY!! huzzah. Anyways, the prompt this week was ‘it wasn’t my fault’. These are the offerings from myself and Limebirdkate. We hope you enjoy them!

Shriveled and shapeless its
new world ceased turning.
Confusion muddles
the scene but eyes still
wait with deep yearning.
Rivulets pink and
gummy wash a path
of terror. I say
It wasn’t my fault,
numb with burden of
truth, murder, error.
Our arms heavy with
death, we must travel.
It wasn’t my fault
I scream desperate
under the gavel.
Through barred light I see
the one gone away,
Hanging by the cord
twisted the wrong way.
My hands wring back sweats,
the smiles and whispers
of excitement and
glee I can’t forget.
I’d do it again.
It wasn’t my fault.

Ok, so Neeks did a post recently about dialogue, so I thought I would have a go at doing this 100 Word Challenge made up entirely of dialogue. Was quite tricky, but enjoyable!
“Muummm?”
“Yes darling?”
“Umm. It wasn’t me.”
“What is it? What’s wrong?”
“By the way I didn’t actually do anything because I don’t even know how it really happened but I might have accidentally but not on purpose kind of maybe made the cakes that were on the side fall on the floor. I wasn’t even near to them or anything and they fell and splatted everywhere. Then I tried to clean it up and then I was worried that Scruffy would eat it and then it accidentally went in my mouth. It wasn’t my fault though.”
