Rain, Thunder, and the Prodigal Son In the Garden of Eden
The barn had a great mulberry tree towering next to it, its ripening berries looking like drops of the dawn dancing in and out of the leaves. Maman Dubois and granddaughter Louisa loved their fruit in the morning and making tarts in the afternoon, and they would have plenty with the mulberries all year, for Jules had also planted fruit trees in the back – apple, peach, plum, and pear – and also watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew vines. -@deeanndmathews
Wonderful take on the prompt, I must say! You definitely created a world for us to experience, and took us there to experience it. -@jayna

Empath
I knew it was a dream the moment I couldn't move my body, yet a pair of curious jade-green eyes stared back at me as if I was placed behind a window on display, the faint scent of freshly-cooked bacon starting to cling to me the longer I stayed immobile in this unfamiliar room with this dark-haired boy with his ever-curious eyes... -@iamraincrystal
I could only remember three key things: a villa seen beyond the cloth that barely covered the painting, an argument that soon followed, and the sound of a gunshot that rang true into the night.
It almost plays like a game of 'clue', with surreal elements. I like the tone of this story from the start. Sometimes, things just click when you read them. That happened today when I read your story :) -@agmoore

Straight Outta Da' Bank!
The Camry spun out of control, the three other tyres skidding across the tarred road as it slammed into a barricade with a loud bang, flinging Red-Eye through the sunroof. Then, it's rear lifted off the ground completely and landed on it's roof. The tyres rolled lazily in the air. -@bruno-kema
This story is so well written, it could be a movie script or appear in a professional, mainstream publication. Great job. Thank you for posting your action story in the Ink Well community. -@theinkwell

Clouds on a Clear Day...
That particular thought spoiled my mood even further. Sarah, the girl with the pretty lunch box, and the very pretty smile. I quietly wished I was her best friend rather than that no-good Jack. Funny how he always seems to be closer to the girls than every other boy in class. Plus he always has the better grades too. -@seesladen
