He was called often to rescue the fools who wandered too far into the Brotshire’s acid swamps.

It took five trips traversed through narrow passages of wind-sheared air before he realized that this particular man had been losing himself on purpose in order to gain his attention.

This was actually the first of the two liners I wrote. The POV man is supposed to be riding the beast, though I don’t explicitly state that, and I envisioned the two of them shaking their heads at ‘foreigners’ who keep wandering into danger XD

But, hey, they probably get paid! Especially this time around ;)

What would your two line story be for this fae/nightmare-crossed beast?

“Containment crew report to Dock 102 for retrieval. All other personnel must leave the area immediately due to contamination possibility.”

I snuck into the observation deck, hands leaving sweaty marks against the glass. It had to be him. He had to be safe, returned to me.

The original picture I used for this story ended up being removed by the artist, so I chose another image that had a similar tone and setup to it. I also cheated on this one a little by using four lines instead of two. Because, because XD

I challenge myself to create both a romantic and a fantastical element for each story, so needed a bit extra to make this so.

What would your two (or four!) liner story be?

Choose a path, but be warned: they do not sleep, they do not eat, they do not waver.

Yet if you prove worthy, they will grant your request, as self-serving and immoral it might be to force a desire on a man who loves you not.

I admit, when I first looked at this image, I thought the figure was male. In my defense, it was a smaller size, more thumbnail I think, and on my phone. But my micro story works, male or female ;)

If you were to write a 2-Line Story, what would it be?

He took his morning tea outside, sipping slow and signing to his neighbor.

Days that marked only the first of many years of his sentence were spent contemplating how to bridge the gap between their cells so he might taste lips against his and feel flesh once more.

This is the first of what I’m doing this year from now on. I wanted to get back to weekly posting, but could not keep up with the short story output, so instead I’m doing…

Two Line Stories! XD

Yeah, it’s a lot less content than my full short stories or poems, but these will come with links to pretty pictures that I used as prompts, so you’ll be able to put a visual with the story to get a better emotive feel! Plus, shorter writing won’t take nearly as much time away from my novel writing :)

Aaand you can play along with me!

Using the image as a prompt, you can jot down your own two-liner in the comments, or even just whatever comes to mind. Or use it as inspiration for one of your own projects if you have any :)

I’d love to read whatever you come up with!
