The Ogre/Chuck Challenge, Day 27

 Hey, Readerland!  The Ogre is back and ready to get started on Day 27.

Done with this round of edits and rewrites.  It's really frustrating to have different people telling you that different ways to do the same thing is correct.  It's annoying.

Anyway, let's get on with it!  Today's exercise is:

16. Find a random picture on Flickr. Then write about it. (Click here for a random Flickr image
generator.)

But I'm throwing in a twist:  I'm going to pick two pictures and link them together in the story.  Hopefully.  My pictures are:

Here goes nothin...

     "Your mother what?" Cynthia asked.
     "She's going to make us something for the wedding," Toby said.  "She has tons and tons of yarn at home, so it'll probably be an afghan or a rug or something."
     "That's cool, I suppose," Cynthia said.  "I mean, if that's what she wants to do, I guess."
     "Look, Cyn.  Ever since dad died, mom has really taken to knitting," Toby said.  "It will mean a lot to her, so don't give her a hard time about it.  I'm just happy she's coming to the wedding."
     "Baby, no.  I'm not going to give her a hard time," Cynthia said.  "It's just that most people simply buy gifts instead of making them.  I'm happy she's found something that she enjoys.  I know losing your father meant a lot to you, but I can't imagine what it did to her."
     "Thanks, baby," Toby said, kissing Cynthia's cheek.  "I was hoping you'd understand.  How long?"
     "Two weeks," Cynthia said.  "Two weeks until we get married and then spend a week in Ireland.  I can't wait."
     "Me neither," Toby said.  "You know what else I can't wait for?"
     Cynthia smirked.  "What's that?"
     "I can't wait to take you to bed as my wife and give you..."  Toby got up and ran over to his laptop and hit the Play button.  'Good Lovin' by The Young Rascals came on and he started dancing around the room, lip synching to the song.
     Cynthia laughed as Toby bounced around the room and shook his butt at her in time to the music.  When the song was over, he came back and sat down beside her.  "You're a nut," she said.
     "Yeah, I know.  But that's why you love me," Toby said, trying to catch his breath.
     "True," Cynthia said and kissed him.

Okay, not bad.  I just wasn't feeling it tonight, honestly.  Sorry for the letdown.

Anyway, what about tomorrow?  Okay, so I'm going to do the random word generator tomorrow, which is here:

20. Pick five random words from a random word generator (like, say, this one) and incorporate
all of them into your writing exercise.

The twist is that I'm going to have it pick a larger amount of words (to be determined tomorrow) and use those to write the story.

Anyway, that's going to do it for today.  27 days down, four more to go.  Thanks for joining me and I'll see you all tomorrow.  Until then, take care and be awesome to each other.
