1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
Empire
Grey's Anatomy
MCU
Scandal
White Collar
2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an e.e. cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and - you guessed it - list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
and left dozens of bleak - Robert Lowell, 'Water'.
The Faces of the Atoms - Emily Dickinson, 'The Chemical conviction'.
For the love of marijuana. - Paul Muldoon, 'Promises, Promises'.
So youth and age - Philip Larkin, 'New Eyes Each Year'.
Through this—the old Philosopher— - Emily Dickinson, 'Trust In The Unexpected'.
3: I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.
Cookie's made friends with guards and prisoners, found her way through a greatly restricted environment without losing her swagger, but she isn't sad to be leaving those dozens of bleak, empty cells behind her.
Just stepping out of those four walls feels like coming home. In spite of the clothes.
Cristina loves Zurich. It's a delicate dance with surgery, and she gets the opportunity to look hearts in the face and break down their problems atom by atom.
But she's left things behind in Seattle that she'll never get back. Camaraderie, for one.
Also, the liberty to insult people freely.
Natasha's stopped feeling even the slightest touch of regret when she takes a human life. Now, all she feels is a delicate, tender high, payment for the sacrifice of her soul, never fatal, only seductive.
The taste of it is a luxury, the only one she has in this life.
Quinn has changed less than she thought she would, very slowly. You'd think a career change from professional lawyer to professional assassin would create more than a skin deep change, but that's all it is - a change of costume. She's still the same determined young girl, raring to prove herself.
Alex rocks idly in a chair, finally understanding why it's such an enjoyable activity. Her old bones don't have to creak, and she's treated to a slight whisper of wind and a gentle boatlike swaying.
She stares out at the sea from her balcony in Sardinia and contemplates the world.
4: Bravo! Have a cookie.
