People, Places, And Things

I sure what I wanted to do for my first weekend anything-goes party, but I think I came up with something.  I pulled out some of my old notebooks and started looking at a few of the prompts I'd written in the past and came up with something totally different.  Okay, it's not totally different, but it's not something I'd done before.  I'm taking a little bit from different ideas I'd had in the past and merged them all together.  Here's the idea.  I'm going to post 5 different characters, 5 different places, and 5 different items.  You can either mix and match them, use them in order, or if you're up for a killer challenge, find a way to use them ALL in one story.  Here we go:

Characters
1.) Michael Abernathy--A lawfirm accountant with a secret in his past
2.) Jason Peters--An aging race car driver fighting with his inner demons
3.) Angela Morganstern--A twice-married school teacher who makes a life-changing decision
4.) Childress--A single dad trying to connect with his teenaged daughter
5.) Riley Fitzpatrick--A Vegas showgirl searching for the mother she's never known

Locations
1.) A parking garage in California
2.) A long forgotten cemetery at the edge of town
3.) A restaurant in New York City
4.) A corn field in Iowa
5.) A fishing boat in the Gulf of Mexico

Props
1.) A purple crayon
2.) A set of pearl earrings
3.) A linen napkin
4.) A toy car
5.) An antique parasol

There ya go kids.  Mix and match, play with them all, but whatever you do, WRITE!!!  Have fun my friends.  Happy Writing!!!!!
