Bikurgurl 100 Word Weekly Writing Challenge —Week 4
Day 1
Fear spread throughout the forest like a cancer.
Day 2
We felt the vibrations from the drilling machines long before we saw them.
Day 3
The birds and creatures left their homes in the canopy.
Day 4
The leviathan attacked at dawn and tore down trees, slaughtering everything in its path.
Day 5
The river ran red with the blood of the innocent and the sun turned black from the suffocating smoke.
Day 6
Those of us who were left ran for our lives.
Day 7
The machines rested; peace, if but for a short time, was restored.
(100 words)

I love your story line here — giving an account leading to ‘peace’, although foreboding future. Great perspective — thanks for joining us 🙂

As I was writing I got this idea of the creation story, on the 1st day God created etc and thought how about, using it for the destruction of the forest, keeping the 7th day as a day of rest.

I like how you’ve taken biblical reference and turned it on its head. Great, fearful imagery too. Very creative.

This story is very good, saying incredibly much with very few words. It was part of what inspired me for my last story “Death to the Metal Monster”. Thank you!
