I know this is the last weekend in March and it's also Easter weekend and I should be doing something springy but I decided that was too cliche, so instead, we're going with some tough guy prompts, but not just any tough guys but my personal favorite: the world weary private investigator--WOO HOO !!
I chose these awesomely badass lines from fiction's toughest private detectives out there: Sam Spade, Phiilip Marlowe, Nick Charles and Boston Blackie.
Choose a number between 1 and 25 and I will give you an epically badass line. For example, this line was spoken to a man headed for the electric chair: "You're gonna sizzle like a squab in a pan." See what I mean by a tough guy :):)
I hope this craziness inspires you, so please be as creative as you can--drabbles/fics can be as long as you want but at least 200 words and you can do any sort of art work the spirit moves you Just post your work by Thursday night at 11:59pm EST, and you'll be golden. Lastly, HAVEFUN

“Hey…”
There were still in a graveyard when she dared to crack open her lids after the thundering of her heart had slowed and her breathing came easy once again. Instead of that darkness that had housed something blacker than night, or the firefly bespeckled crimson that had followed, the damp, clean air shimmered with the pink of long-limbed cherry blossoms, the emerald of perfectly manicured lawn and hedges, and well-kept white marbled stones that extended down both sides of the wet path glistening with after shower dew. No names, no indicator of who was buried here, but with the sound of his voice, welcoming though slightly unsure and embarrassed, erased the need to know. Everything else faded away as it was absorbed by the blue of his eyes.
Did I tell you I have a massive crush on Chester Morris? I can't remember anymore.17. "My guess might be excellent or it might be crummy, but Mrs. Spade didn't raise any children dippy enough to make guesses in front of a district attorney, an assistant district attorney, and a stenographer."
Also: PFFT. I can hear it..

Good luck :)

Good luck :)

Good luck :)
