Welcome to Saturday Centus, Mrs. Jenny Matlock's writing challenge, where participants are asked to write a text to a given prompt only using 100 words or less plus the prompt. This week's prompt is 'It's only words. And words are all I have...'
Here is my text:
***
Before nightfall, Jenny Holland wanted to write in her
notebook, that she happened to have along on her air-trip, that ended with an emergency landing on a desert
island. She surveyed the wreckage and lack of equipment. The
radio did not work, and she didn't know how to repair it. The pilot, who did, perished in the crash.
Her colleague only survived a few days longer.
'Jack
and Tom are dead. I am alone and without food or shelter. What now? It's only words. And words are all I have. Maybe I can
find that toolbox that Jack talked about.'

Wordcount: 107
Best wishes,
Anna

Anna, it has been sooo long! What have you been doing? I like your Centus! Good to have you back!!
A lovely little addition to put into your story Anna. I can imagine how much of a comfort a pen and paper would have been to jenny in the situation which she found herself...if you can document things then it helps you to keep a focus and sense of time. This would have been a help to anyone...but even more so to Jenny in her line of work.
My friend,
Personally I always write things down in my organizer because of my job. Tanya said it best, it helps keeps us focus. Thank you for sharing my dear.
I thought I had left a comment but I guess I didn't.
have not read the other parts but this is a nice little window to the story.
thanks for stopping by & have a great day.
Welcome back, Anna. Cool take on the prompt!
Hope she finds the toolbox. Nice write.
First of all, my apologies for taking some time to visit. This is the time of year when my filming and DVD production for schools and community groups rises.
I think this is a very good take on the prompt. Left with a desperate situation, Jenny, having no one else, wrote her words and took the only chance she had... to try to repair something of which she knew little.
It speaks of Jenny's strength of character under pressure. :)
Oh. I hope she finds the toolbox.
This was really wonderfully visual writing.
I'm rooting for her, too!
So good to see you Miss Anna!
And I'm so far behind.
I've been struggling with some health stuff and treading water!
But I always love what you write!
Hope you and the kids are doing good.
I like the new blog layout!
