Not What It Seems...
In a short, not more than 50 words, start with something that seems beautiful but surprises us, or perhaps begin with something that seems sinister and turns out to be quite lovely. However you'd like to go. See my example if you need a hint, but feel free to take the prompt as you wish! God bless and much success! PLEASE tag me @LexiCon in the comments after you've finished your piece). It's been a while since I've hosted a challenge (and really interacted much with the site in general) I pray you've all been well! Much love.

free

mascara stains on my pillowcase

love letters torn to shreds

memories set ablaze

clouds in the sky covering the moon

fog in the air blocking my view of you

forests and mountains in have come between us

and never have i ever felt so free

Love you to pieces

Loving smile upon his lips

as he gazed upon her face

hands clasped behind his back

cuffed

one policeman took him away

another covered the bloodied head

while the body search never ceases

alas

the husband meant it when he said,

"I love my wife to pieces."

The Next Morning...

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////

Early sun rays

.

.

.

filtered through the smudged window

.

.

.

illuminating the tears that leaked from her eyes

.

.

.

as she sat there on the edge of the bed weeping silently.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////

...He Was Gone

The Greatest Injustice of a Dinosaur’s Name

Eighty years ago a new dinosaur was discovered. They called it Oviraptor ("Egg Thief) because it was found on top of a clutch of eggs thought to belong to another dinosaur. The reality was that the eggs were its own. The fiendish "egg thief" was actually a good parent.

The earth cried in agony as He hung upon the tree.

But three days later, He rose from the grave, setting us free.

The Perfect Moment

He fiddled in his pocket, searching for the perfect moment. He had to wait until she wasn’t looking, or he would be caught.

When her back was turned, he slipped the $50 into his mom’s purse. It was easier than arguing with her about paying for their meal.

Structure

My sister NEEDS structure. Everything needs to follow a plan and go perfectly, or else the world will end. When I was younger this annoyed me to no end. Looking back on it now though, I really wish she stuck to planning out essays rather than murders.

The Predator

The predator stalked the girl, watching with keen eyes. It lay hidden from her sight in waiting. As it adjusted its position, it saw its opportunity to strike. In a single motion, it pounced.

As the very fierce predator hit its mark, the girl laughed at her kitten’s pouncing antics.

You are beautiful.

I stare down at your face, calm, resting. Taking in all your features, inhaling slightly when you shift in your sleep. I can't help thinking to myself, this is all I could ever want, to be here with you. But you'll never know I was here, watching while you sleep.

Wysteria

With brightly painted petals, they twist their way through trees. They hang as divine decor against the constant greenery. But be weary; through the passage of time, the trees will wilt. The leaves will perish, and the trunk will be left a grey husk, with only the Wysteria left alive.
