OK, so it’s Friday (finally!) and it’s our 100 Word Challenge from Julia’s Place ! This week the prompt is ‘as the apple fell’. Firstly apologies for how late this post is, but I was so busy today, which also meant that I couldn’t write my piece which I usually write just before putting the post up, so sorry about that! However, you have some AWESOME pieces to read below, which I know you will enjoy. If you would like to take part, then scroll down to the bottom for more information.
This week you have the wonderfully talented Limebirds Kate, Neeks and Vanessa!

Fingers paled with poison
Cackles bounced off water in the well
A murder of crows rose into the air
As the apple fell.
A prince bent down to kiss empty lips
They all waited in frozen terror
The mirror was queried one final time
No longer was she the fairer.
The spell could not be broken
Even by the prince in love
For I saw what would happen
And I summoned the dragon from high above.
The dragon’s breath counteracted true love’s kiss
And in death she looked serene
I bowed in sorrow with my brothers six
And pretended to despise the queen.
She looked up high
She looked down low
It didn’t seem that bad
She knew that crisp red apple
Would make her tummy glad.
She scrambled up the mighty trunk
With dextrous style and speed
And shimmied along the outstretched branch
What possibly could go wrong?
Some might say she leaned too far
Some say she took no care
She heard a little cracking sound
And as the apple fell from high
She beat it to the ground.
As she lay upon the grass
A little dazed and bruised
She saw the apple roll away
And sighed “I guess that means no treat today”
