I’m wide awake and looking at emails, so here’s another one this morning.

Your writing prompt this week is SHAPES

Here are this week’s prompts:

Write a story that starts with the line “Sometimes, all you need to do is completely make an ass of yourself and laugh it off to realize that life isn’t so bad after all.”
#6
What is your opinion on tattoos?

“Sometimes, all you need to do is completely make an ass of yourself and laugh it off to realize that life isn’t so bad after all.” I re-read this last sentence of my journal entry before closing it for the night. My day hadn’t started out as a very good one after being fired from my job that morning. I stopped at ‘Murphy’s Tap’ and after more than a few Jack & Cokes I had gotten over my depression and made a left turn when leaving. As I walked down the street I noticed a tattoo shop with all kinds of shapes and symbols. Curiosity got the best of me and I went inside. The hum of the tattoo machine was relaxing and as I looked at my new ink I threw up all over the mirror. The ‘Ink Spot’ wasn’t to happy about it but I left happy with my new tattoo.
