Prompt #17

...Try to mimic Hemingway's style in "Big Two-Hearted River." Use simple sentences and repetition. Pay close attention to minute sensory details. Take it slow. Not much needs to happen, but it needs to feel "profound."

...Write a 250-word sentence that tells a story. Try to make it work as one sentence, as opposed to several sentences separated by commas or dashes or semi-colons.

...Write a story consisting entirely of sentence fragments.

Whatever you write, try to incorporate the concepts of Series and Balance in your sentence structures.

Story Sparks: Tijuana, Mexico. Seals. A street vendor named Fortenbras Izzo. Vulcan. Sunflowers. The Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway. August 3, 2005 in Alabama.
