Patrick Sipperly
Pat provided the following statement:
He has edged out his handsome rival and has won her heart. And on the very day he's prepared to ask for her hand in marriage, he is awarded his nationally prestigious dream assignment: A quest that will take him to the outer reaches of the known world for the next 5 years. Alone.
Your challenge this week is to expand upon that thought
OR use the three words below
to write a short story
Winner~Leaving~Alone
Stories must meet the criteria below and be submitted before 3:00 pm PST on 6/28/2012
(If using the expanded statement option, she may be substituted for he)
Many of you will recognize Pat's name. He's the founder of Clever Fiction and this awesome website design is his brainchild. To say he's good at what he does is an understatement and I hope you'll visit his Arizona Video Company and see for yourself. If nothing else, watch a couple of his Book Trailers -- though he offers so much more. Pat is also a published author with stories included in both Whispered Beginnings and Time Out On A Roller Coaster and, of course, his own Christian Fiction novel, Parting Ways - sporting a cover he designed himself! |
