As it’s Friday, the Limebirds take part in the 100 word story challenges set by Julia’s Place. Apologies for the lateness of this post!
Every week, Julia will give out a prompt, and you have to make a 100 word story using those words. This week’s prompt is ‘the rain turned the road into a river’ .According to Julia, you’re allowed 108 words this week (so including the prompt). If you would like to have a go, scroll down to the bottom for more information.
This week we have myself and Limebirds Amber, Laura, Kate, Neeks and Vanessa taking part.

When I saw him sitting on the park bench, drenched and sad, the rain had turned the road into a river. Separated from him, I forged the path, feeling like I floated to him. He waited for someone. I needed to talk to him. I sat down next to him and held my umbrella over us both. He looked over at me with a sad smile.
“Who are you waiting for?
“My wife. She should be here any moment.”
Were those tears or raindrops?
“In this rain?”
“Rain doesn’t bother the dead.”
I waited beside him while the sun set.

I wanted to sleep in the car to Gram’s but the rain pitter patting on my window hurt my head. I told Rabbit this and he agreed. Too loud. I asked Mummy if she could turn down the rain and she laughed. What’s funny? I tried sleeping again but I heard a BANG which was louder than the rain.
Mummy was on talking on her phone, “Please help us. Our car’s stuck, it’s like the rain turned the road into a river, we’re trapped.”… “How long? I understand, please hurry.”
I got tired again, so we tried to sleep. Rabbit told me his paws were getting wet.

I grab my paper boat and pet frog
and whistle to Henry, my loyal dog
now that the storm is nothing but a shiver
and the rain turned the road into a river.
The sun is shining and I have all day
to pretend I’m a pirate or a gator at play.
I yell across to the Biddle twins
and invite ‘em to bring their snorkles and fins.
Together we ride the rough Seven Seas
and then lasso sweet Nessie as quick as you please.
We’ll frolic all day before the river runs dry
The twins, my frog, Henry, and I.

“Tasha’s going swimming now.”
“So is Celeste. She’s gonna to wear the pink bathing suit.”
“That one’s mine! You get the orange one.”
My sister and I put our Barbies into the tiny pink convertible and drove them down the
sloping driveway; our “road” was headed for the wading pool in the backyard.
Our little brother snuck up, grabbed a hose and began spraying us. It was hot, we didn’t
much care, but the rain turned the road into a river and carried our Barbies away in their
pink car! Down the driveway they went, quickly turning over and spilling out all over the
place.
“I’m telling! M…O…M!”

The stars turned the day into the night
Help turned the lost into the found
Wind turned the calm into a storm
Time turned the start into the end
The bees turned the nectar into food
Water turned the seed into a life
Ice turned the lake into a rink
Words turned the concept into story
Laughter turned the gloom into joy
The smile turned the down into up
The rain turned the road into a river
Love turned the house into a home
Music turned the people into dancers
Silence turned the turmoil into peace
The baby turned the man into a father
You turned my darkness into light
