antarctica flashfiction microfiction obituary penguin

*This is a writing prompt response written for practice. Feedback welcome.*

[Please note: Format of this writing response is in the style of a pseudo obituary. The author (me) was experimenting with a different style.]

Writing prompt: Constrained writing response of 100-300 words to following story starter: 

"Night fell over the Antarctic glaciers and thousands of feet waddled forward to the edge of a precipice of ice and snow.

An army of penguins stood and watched as the first contestants lined up at the start of the track. It was a grueling race, filled with hairpin turns, steep drops, and some dangerous jumps over ramps carved into the ice. Only the bravest penguins competed in the races.

 At the same time, explorer and scientist Ingrid Belousci climbed out of her makeshift shelter to observe the unique behavior of the penguins. She had heard them assemble and noticed a difference in their usual sounds.

She would inadvertently become the first human to ever see the spectacle. But things changed when she was spotted. ///from user throwthisoneintrash"All Rights Reserved

The initiation: Met in abnegation sequel by eatonthatcake46

It has been 5 years since my beautiful Tris passed away. She told me to move on, but all of this time I have been grieving. I didn't think I could love anyone as much as I loved Tris ever again. But I was wrong. I believed that lie up until now. I walk into the adoption center, and a little baby girl catches my eye. I pick her up in my arms. She has blue eyes that are the color of the sky and brunette hair with natural blond highlights. I walk up to the lady at the front desk and say " I'd like to adopt her." She slightly looks up at the baby, but keeps her head down. " okay, what would you like to name her?" Her voice is gentle, but strong. I respond immediately. "Beatrice, her name will be Beatrice." The woman looks up and I can see her face. She has beautiful grey-blue eyes. And then I notice a small scar on the left side of her cheek. "Tobias?" Tris is alive, but when she trains the initiates with Four will they be safe? Expect drama. This is a sequel to Met in Abnegation.

The Witch: Children of the Moon Goddess Book 1 by Laurali_Violet

This is a mature book. It has themes of Sex, BDSM, Violence, Murder, Self-Harm, Mind Control, and Torture. Reader discretion is advised. *****This has been edited from the original story (Previously Auras) ***** Aurora was a normal college student working towards a business degree until she went to a party that changed her life. Everyone she knew and cared about was murdered in a twisted idea of fun, she was the only survivor. Quickly dumped into a world of supernatural Aurora must find her place despite the fact a possessive werewolf seems to want to tell her what to do. Can she adjust or will she crumble under the pressure? Excerpt: The screams and cries for help faded while silent tears continued to stream down her face. Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."

Splatourney: The Intro by KySketch

2021 desc: Just thought I'd post this to get it out there. It's not the best story but I thought I'd try anyway. As a heads up, I used Celine Dion's name on a character NOT as a representation of her (the two aren't related), but because I just liked the name. Besides, anyone can use names and have the same one. Also this story is not SplatRoad related, though it may incorporate some species into it. ----- 2020 desc: This is a short story as a sampler for my readers out there. If you like it and want a sequel, be sure to tell me on my tumblr (spadedfox) in my askbox if you don't have a wattpad account to comment with! ----- Welcome to the world of Splatourney, a battle-royale based world where only the smartest strategists are recognized as the top players! Every match is a test of strength and wit, and it's all to see who the last one standing is! Enter Rona, a new inkling to Inkopolis Streets. He isn't the freshest yet, but he's heard all about this place from his older brother. He's determined to leave his mark here no matter what it takes! When his big mouth and bigger ego cause him to face off against one of the top 10 highest ranking players, he's forced to deal with learning everything there is to battle, the hard way. Can he make it through, and rise to the top?

The Mimic: ✨Novel Edition✨ by Generation_Death

The Mimic Book 1 but written in third person and Yasu's POV. *This was written before the Mimic revamp/rewrite The idea for this came to me in the shower and wouldn't leave so I just stood there for an hour straight thinking this up. It's literally just something I wrote in middle school and discontinued after I lost motivation. Need to upload this bc I'm running out of storage Art, characters, and storyline do not belong to me. If you have any issues with me using your work, please contact me and I will have it removed ASAP. One day in the next century(or more), I'll find a proper cover This book is discontinued. If you want to adopt it, just contact me in the comments or something, I'll respond if I'm still alive

The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down Anthology by katiegoesmew

Here I go with another writing experiment. I joined The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down by LayethTheSmackDown, which required me to write Speculative Fiction flash fiction, short stories, drabbles, and poetry inspired by prompts. If you're as unfamiliar with Speculative Fiction as I was when I started this, check out @ReshapeIt for more info. So, the writing experiment: - I'd never written Speculative Fiction. - Or flash fiction. - Or drabbles. - Or from an image prompt. Somehow, I survived the eliminations until round four, part one. I've decided to keep following the contest on my own, so as long as it's running, I'll keep adding chapters within the deadline based on the prompts provided. But I won't stop when the contest ends. This has been such a fun project, so I've decided to continue entering prompt-based contests and keep the story going as long as I can. :) Note: Word count varies with the application used. All the word counts here come from Google Docs. Content/trigger warnings: anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, murder, PTSD, sexual references, strangulation, violence. ***** To all the judges of Short Story categories in awards I entered: Sorry. This 'sploded and won't stop growing. If you feel the need to disqualify because it's not short anymore, I don't blame you, and I don't mind. Or if you just want to pick a couple of chapters and read them, that's fine, too. I don't care. 😅

The experiment. by shrosz

They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing. That's why they call me: Death -----------------------------------------************************************--------------------------------------------- Death. A teen girl, pitch black hair, black eyes, white skin. Her height is 5'8. People are scared of her, not just because of her strength but because of they way she kills. She lived in this hell hole, where they take her to rooms. Examine. Fight. She knows she won't be able to entertain them for long. She decides to run. Soul. Brown hair as mud, blue eyes as the sky. Hight 6'2. Tanned and toned body. Death's best friend in the hell hole they're in, he's as cold as she is. But shows a bit of sympathy. Well... More than her at least. He's been there for her, ever since she entered this place of crap. They're the two most feared. As some people say, they're a perfect couple. Killing. Fighting. Cold hearted creatures. Also known as D and S. Why? That's what your going to find out, joining this adventure with D and S.

The Frozen Veil by CallisonMckeegan

When Dr. Elias Mercer, a seasoned Antarctic researcher, embarks on what should be a routine expedition, disaster strikes. A helicopter crash leaves him stranded in an uncharted land beyond the ice wall-an impossible place untouched by time. Lush and thriving, with perfect, unchanging weather and a civilization that has never known sickness, it defies everything he understands about the world. The inhabitants, human-like yet wary, speak multiple languages-including English-raising unsettling questions. How do they know these tongues? Why does nothing here wither or die? And why do they fear what lies beyond their own borders? As Elias searches for a way back, he begins to suspect the land itself is hiding something far greater than a lost civilization. The truth, buried beneath centuries of secrecy, could unravel the fabric of reality itself-and someone, or something, is determined to keep it hidden. *I will be posting every Thursday! This is my first non fan fiction so bear with me. Don't fret though, I will still be doing fanfics as I still have a long line up of ones I have planned! 😉 Enjoy!*

The Forest and the Girl by Patience104

I don't know how I got here, I don't know, who I am, or where I came from. I remember a beautiful woman in a white dress, and everything around her was a blinding white. A voice in my head saying, "you deserve better than you had, my child." Then, I woke up on the ground in the forest. why can't I remember anything? who am I? What am I wearing? ############################# *I am making this a three part book, but it's all together. Mainly for dramatics. *First part is pg-13, second part R rated, third part mixture of both. *There is swearing, sex, and violence so 18+ a must to read * Please give my book a try. And please vote and comment. I love reading all your comments.
