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.'
