Oh my gosh! That was a challenge and a half!!! I have never taken part in this challenge before but thought, with a bit of time on my hands, why not? Famous last words as it has taken me forever to come up with this little story, using certain selected words that Jeff Hollar over at The Latinum Vault for his Monday Mixer has come up with. So, armed with dictionary and thesaurus and fuelled with determination, I came up with this. All I'm saying is 'it's a start' and remember, a first attempt. So be kind, if not kind then constructive, if not constructive then say nothing and I will get the message and will put this down to an experience on a rainy afternoon. xxx
An Apple A Day
“One bite will cause a somnolent
state Sire,” stated the witch, revealing the blood red apple in her long,
bony fingers encasing it like a cage.
“Ah, magnificent! Now all the power and wealth will be mine!”
“You are an insular
king; the worst kind, Sire,” she declared as she conjured a zephyr that lifted the apple to the King where it nestled in his
lap next to his nougat.
“And you are insolent. We had an agreement Witch, unless you
wish to burn?” She blenched. Her kin had suffered the burning, hearing
their excruciating screams even now. She knew once he had the apple, he wouldn't
let her leave the castle which was why she sparged
the apple with ancient magic where upon anything the apple touched, the spell
would transfer causing the apple to become harmless. The witch smiled as the
king selected a large piece of nougat.

And here is the list of words where you can select one from each and use in any tense as long as makes sense and the meaning hasn't changed. As you can see, I used two from one row. I don't think that classes me as an over- achiever lol. Maybe next time . . . did I say next time? Yeah right!. xx
