Put on your music program on shuffle/random and start playing songs.
2. For each song, write something inspired by the song. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.
3. Do 10 songs and post. Make sure to include the song name/artist
A little writing challenge I did. Enjoy.
2. When Ginny Kissed Harry – Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
When Reaper first came aboard the Starship Enterprise, personally recruited by the Captain, and looking so like the Chief Medical Officer, it wasn't unexpected that people would avoid him. He was tall, broad shouldered and brooding, with a snarky remark for any situation, and a standoffishness that made him unreachable.
Many just chose not to try.
Jim made the effort, curious about the man who so closely resembled his lover. McCoy made the effort because he found Reaper's quick healing skills intriguing, and he sensed that that was the reason that Spock too made time for the bitter, lonely marine.
There was one other, who sat with him at lunches, talked to him on days off, who made the effort, and more to get to know Reaper. More than that, who tried to be a friend to him, and not just curious about his skills and his heritage.
Pavel Chekov.
Slowly but surely the changes became clear. Reaper smiled a lot more, he even laughed a bit. Slowly the Enterprise became home, Pavel became home.
Jim had asked him to serve for six months, and once those six months were up, he sent a summons for the other man, to offer him a chance to leave. Chekov was there on the Bridge when he was asked, and Reaper didn't need to look around to see the young man turn when the Captain asked him if he needed a shuttle ride off.
But he did need to turn and see that brilliant smile, when he told the Captain just where to stuff his shuttle ride away.
