2019 Writing Challenge
⭐ The Challenge:
Four times a week, we follow the same prompt to write something at least 150 words in length. It can be over but never under. It can involve any character or no character at all. At least one of the four days must be tailored toward a writing skill that we know we need to work on. The prompts can be from a website or from our brain - one word, many words, a setting/location, or anything that will inspire.

Day One: Freak

Day Three: You appear in an infinite white room with nothing but yourself and a piece of paper saying "You have been banned from existence."
Day Four: You run a tattoo parlor. Every couple of weeks, the same customer comes in, always requesting the same tattoo - an additional tally mark on an ever-growing cluster of tally marks.
⭐ Prompts Week Two
Day One: "I accept no responsibility, and I would do it all again."
Day Two: Try Again
Day Three: Dance/Dancing
Day Four: Venom
(I got that) adrenaline momentum

They ain't gonna know what hit 'em.

Week 1, Day 4 | TATTOO | Self | WC:263
The ticking of the mans pocket watch reminded me of how much time I had spent on these tiny marks.
He always cam into the shop in a suit, nice, neat and clean. Almost as if part of a mob from the early eras. His hair was brushed back cleanly and his face was shaved perfectly. His nails were filed his shoes were shined. And yet here he was, at my tattoo parlor, asking for another mark.
Each mark was placed on his ankle and if my count was right there were 24 of them now. I was adding the 25th mark, drawing it through 4 others. I didn't ask what they were for, but my mind runs wild with the possibilities.
A hit man for the mob. A sales men marking each successful sale. A air plane pilot, making every conquest from every port of call. It could have been anything.
I wanted to ask, but for some reason that felt wrong. Not because of the idea that I wouldn't want to know the real answer or even that it would be rude? But more for the fact that it was just fun wondering what he did for a living.
Tick tock, his pocket watch ticked. Who used pocket watches now a days anyhow? "Okay, you're all done, Mr. Giuseppe. See you again next week?" I joked likely. He simply winked at me and left a substantial check for the smallest of tattoo marks.
Maybe that was another reason I never asked. The pay was good.
