Writing Promt #10

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. He was perched on the brick wall thinking about how to solve his next case. Humpty is an expert detective who has solved many robbery cases in his days. Today's case was especially troubling, someone was stealing building supplies from the Three Little Pigs for the last three days. They are trying to build a house out of brick because all the other houses were blown over by a vandal, but every time they go to the construction site some of their tools or material is missing and they have no idea who is doing it. As he was sitting there one of the Little Pigs came running up. "Mr. Dumpty! Come quick, someone has taken more supplies!" he managed to tell him between each breath he took. They both ran back to the building site and Humpty began working right away, looking for any clue that the thief might have left. As he was scouring around the building site he noticed a paw print in the mud next to a lumber pile. "Well look here" he told the pigs, "it looks like this case isn't too complicated after all. Who do you guys know that has size 10 paw prints?" "THE BIG BAD WOLF!!" all three pigs shouted at once. "Correct" said Humpty, "I will question him right now." So he headed off down the road in the direction of Wolf's house. He walked up to the door and rapped on it a few times. "Mr. Wolf! I have a few questions to ask you if you don't mind" he called out. "What now Detective Dumpty?" "I just got home from my mothers house on the other side of the forest and I would very much like to get some rest!" Mr. Wolf growled when he answered the door. "It won't take long I promise" said Humpty, "You say you have been visiting your mother? How long have you been there?" "I have been there for two weeks, she was ill and I was helping her out with the farm.My mother will vouch for me if you don't believe me" said Mr. Wolf. "I believe you, its just there has been a series of robberies at the Three Little Pigs' house and there was a paw print by one of lumber piles this morning. Thanks for your time though, have a nice day!" Humpty shook his paw and left. As he was walking a lot of thoughts were flying through his head. "Who would want to frame Mr. Wolf..." he said aloud to himself. He made it a couple miles down the road when it hit him. "Old MacDonald!" Mr. Wolf and the farmer were feuding because Old MacDonald's fence line was on Mr. Wolf's property. Humpty took off running towards Mr. MacDonald's farm. When he reached the door he heard MacDonald making something inside, everything went quite when finally knocked. It took a few minutes but finally he opened the door. "Detective Dumpty! Nice day isn't it?" said MacDonald. When he opened the door Humpty noticed a pair of shoes shaped like wolf paws in the porch that were all muddy. Humpty smiled pulled out his handcuffs and said "It is a great day Mr. MacDonald." He arrested him for three counts of robbery. When he went into the farmers house to investigate further, he noticed that MacDonald had been stealing building supplies so he could rebuild his indoor fireplace. When Humpty told the pigs what he had found they thanked him profusely and said they didn't want the farmer to sit in jail other wise his animals would starve. So instead they had him help work on their new house everyday for community service. The End

Writing Prompt #9

This was my dream. I had finally been invited to race my dogs in the biggest dog sled race in the world. I was at the top of my game riding on the sled behind the dogs and I was confident I could win. The race was long and treacherous and was by no means easy, there are a few if any houses along the route. My dogs were in the best shape of their lives and ready to take on any challenger. The first two hours were good, we were staying right behind the leader. By the 5th hour I had taken the lead and was moving at a break neck speed sliding around corners, pushing the limits of racing. We ended up pulling way away from the former leader and we raced out onto the frozen lake. The ice was so smooth and easy to go fast on so I pushed the dogs to go a little faster and as we were cruising along I just glimpsed an ice heave before I slammed into it. The dogs were fortunate and swerved around it, but there was no slowing the sled down so I smashed into it and that is all I remember until I woke up in and igloo with an Eskimo staring at me. He told me he found me out on the lake with my 8 dogs sleeping around me keeping me warm, I was unconscious because I had slammed my head on the ice. He took me to his igloo farther out on the lake and bandaged my wounds. I have no idea how I got 4 bucks in my pocket but I ended up giving it to the Eskimo for his troubles. That rock that was in my other pocket was supposed to be my lucky rock but I guess it wasn't working today.

Hypothetically speaking Derrick Rose is one of the best professional basketball players. Creativity is probably his strongest suite, you never know what he will do when he gets the basketball. You can feel the electricity in the air when you watch him play, like something big is about to happen. He is the cause of many opponents humiliation, he has no problem making an opponent look silly. Every opportunity that he has to score for his team he will score it with authority. His popularity has grown significantly from his college basketball days, he is now a major name in the NBA. There is no other way of describing some of his moves other than unbelievable.
