FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - Anchor

This week for the prompt word Lillie McFerrin has given us "ANCHOR" with which we're to write our Five Sentence Fiction.  This is my response which I've written using an acrostic format for the prompt word.

The Bride Gets What She Asked For


ANne and her millionaire adventurer husband Michael spent their honeymoon on his luxury yacht “The Happiness.”


Choosing to cruise the inland coastal waterway system they experienced an extremely smooth trip.


Having never been on a yacht Michael allowed her to take the wheel of his as he continuously kept a watchful eye on every move she made.


Ordinarily he’d never allowed it to happen, however he couldn’t refuse his new bride anything she’d asked for, especially on this, their honeymoon.


Reaching the widest point in the portion of the costal waterway they were in, they dropped ANCHOR after having their lunch to sun themselves peacefully on the highest deck of his yacht.

  1. Glad he was able to share his precious yacht with his even more precious wife. As it should be.

    1. Glad you liked my endeavor for this week.

      Don't forget the three words every bride repeats to herself in her mind as she walks down the aisle.

    1. THANKS for your kind compliment.

      Since you've probably responded to Lillie before, you've noticed the challenge she's placed before us to write a Five Sentence Fiction using
      her prompt word for the week.

      I love to try to increase the level of the challenge trying using the acrostic format I've used in the above. Now in order for me to write a Five Sentence Fiction, each of these five sentences must begin with another letter/letters of the prompt. The easiest to write are the ones where the prompt only has five letters, the more letters there are in the prompt word the fewer words you can use to begin each of the five sentences.

      A good example of this is the response to the prompt word of "FEATHERS" which had EIGHT LETTERS I wrote back on April 16th

    1. THANKS for your compliment McGuffy, I appreciate getting it.

      Your ability to create is really forced to its limits when you decide to add the acrostic format into the mix.

      Hope you're enjoying the MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND with your family. !!! :-) :-) :-)
