Take a Prompt, Leave a Prompt.

Forums are up, and I figured now would be a good time for people to get their creative juices flowing in preparation for November with some prompt-inspired one-shots, or even just give you some decent thoughts for your November novel.
So, you guys know how this works, if you take a prompt, you leave one to keep the thread going.

I'll start us off with three random quotes from the internet;
~ "If you must fight, then you must fight together. If you can't accomplish that, then you will die together."
~ "The sad thing about dreams is that they always come to an end."
~ "Sometimes the ones we love can't come back."

Happy writings ^_^

"If you must fight, then you must fight together. If you can't accomplish that, then you will die together."

C1: "Quick! Before the EFM get here!"
C2: "Enormous Flying Monkeys?
C1: "No, no the other one!"
C2: "Oh Electric Flying Monkeys."
C1: "Yes that one!"

-"Life is a dance. Too bad I seem to have two left feet."

Here's my prompt:

Look in the newspaper, and write a three page story about one of the articles.

You can treat this like something more then it is, but don't cry when it comes back to hurt you.

"There was a pause, as if the whole of the world was holding it's breath, anchoring everyone in their places."

"You know, now that you mention it there is a word that describes exactly what you just told me; idiotic."

He couldn't figure out why she had shown up at his door at midnight dressed like...that. But he was pretty sure he liked it.

Leaving, from previous years (and the last two are texts I've sent/received):

"Now this," his face lit up like the flash of a bomb blast, "this is what I'm talking about."

At that point, they both grabbed onto the rope trailing down from the hot air balloon..

Then he turned away from me and walked away into the cold night. And I can live with knowing that he's out there. Somewhere.

Then they heard the soft strains of music threading through the valley, and they knew the time had come.

"I'm...S-Sorry..." Her lips trembled as that apologetic whisper broke the silence, and she repeated it over and over again, unable to stop the tears that finally fell to the pavement. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...."

They stood together, hand in hand, and watched the world burn.

As soon as I arrived, I could sense that something was out of place...

She appeared like an appartion out of the mist

"So much for the prophecy. Amazing what a bit of pre-emptive editing can do."

"What do you want?!"
"Ice cream!"

"You are impossible to find!"

Stealing:

Run! If you ever want to live to see your home again run!

-"I went away for a while. Wanted to see who would notice that I was gone."
-She knew something was very wrong. Even more wrong than the yellow sky above her head.
-The computer screen flickered to life as he jiggled the mouse, tongue between his teeth. Surely there was at least one person in the world who knew what was going on.

The cell phone sat at her desk…..Taunting her…..Laughing as she waited for yet another call that wouldn’t come.
C1 : “You know, I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.”
C2: “You know, I’m pretty sure I don’t care anymore.”
And……one more….
C1 : “We should do NaNoWriMo together!”
C2: “is that legal?”

"You only see how much you hurt me. But I feel how much you love me. In your heart beating in your chest close to mine. In the tender kisses you give. When our palsm touch. I feel your love. But all you see is my hurt."

Have an abstract prompt...

You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.

There’s nothing more depressing than having it all and still feeling sad.

I didn’t want to admit it. It was easier to lie. Hide the hurt and emptiness to smile instead of cry.

Whatever she saw, whatever they came up against, was enough to scramble her wits so thoroughly, she may never be the same.

~ She held him and buried her face in his chest, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat beneath her cheek. Tears spilled from her eyes, and great sobs wracked her small frame as she cried. "I hate you... I hate you so much...", she said, over and over again.
~ "Do you have any idea how beautiful you are when you're skinning worgs?"
~ Fear of death is worse than death itself.

Leaving:

It all started with a papercut....
