The Single Line Story Challenge

Well, it's been a while, but then again, I'm not actually a blogger, so whatever ends up here is extra, right? :D

The lovely Katja tagged me for this challenge, so I decided I'd try it--and then ended up writing most of them in a burst of inspiration over my lunch break. So here goes...I hope you enjoy!



Rules:

- Thank the person who nominated you/mention whose blog you found this on // Thank you, Katja!
- Include the rules and badge in your post. Check!
- Write 5 single line stories that fall under any of these genres (you can pick which ones you do!):
~ fantasy
~ romance
~ thriller
~ mystery
~ western
~ contemporary
~ historical
~ drama
~ dystopian
~ adventure
~ sci-fi
~ paranormal
~ young adult
- You can choose 5 genres that’s easiest for you, or you can challenge yourself to try something new!
- Nominate 5 blogger/writers who you’d love to see participate and leave an open nomination for all writers! Since I don't actually blog, I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to try it, feel free! ;)
- You can do this challenge more than once.

Okay, here goes...

Romance
A lifetime of grief, pain, and fear squeezed from his eye in a single tear as she cupped his scarred face in her hands and softly murmured, "I love you."

Mystery
"Obviously," Elaine stated flatly as she eyed the diamond necklace spilling from the bear's torn heart, "it means you're not at all the man I thought you were."

Western
"I done it, Pa," Trace whispered, leaning against the fence to watch the children playing on the lawn, the gold of the sun tinting their hair the color of ripe wheat as it sank behind the hills.

Dystopian
The boy's scowl offered no encouragement, but his protective stance as he shoved me behind him gave me the first glimmer I'd had in weeks of something just vaguely like hope.

Sci-Fi
"Not yet, we're not," Cy breathed, ignoring the alarms blaring on all sides and keeping his hands steady on the controls as the enemy ship edged closer.
