Short Story- Prompts

I want short stories. I want to feel the emotion in the story go strait to my heart. I want to get angry, cry, happy, and if you want to erotica then I want to get hot and bothered! I want it to be strongly emotional! I don't care what emotion as long as it hits hard! If I'm happy about the story I want to be crying happy tears!

Ok I don't want pre writes sorry, so I'm giving you some prompts to work with.

Picture prompts- there will be quite a few of those ^^

Word prompts- start the story off with these lines - wont be many..
1. 'Hold me, just hold me thats all I need'

2. 'He caressed her cheek where her tears had left their tracks.'

3. 'Looking up at the stars I wondered...'

4. 'I'd be damned if...'

5. 'Death always seems to be the best way out.'

6. 'Love is painful when it's unrequited'

7. 'Can you save me from myself?'

8. 'Get the hell out!'

9. 'I was frightened, nothing in my life had made me feel fear this much!' - this one doesn't have to be exact, just stick along the lines of the sentence.

10. 'Goosebumps had spread across my skin, like a blanket covers a child.'

Ok so you only have to use one prompt but I would like to see someone use more than one ^^

Brownie Points:
It makes me cry, or feel another strong emotion.

If you can create a Twilight fan fiction using one of these prompts then more power to you! I love twilight!

You use two prompts.

Erotica is always a plus! ^^

Horror, if you make me cringe or get goosebumps, it's not an easy thing to do!

Oh and depending on the enteries the points may go up, if you want to donate some they will go towards this contest!

RULES:

1. No TaLkInG LiKe ThIs PlEaSe!

2. I want short stories not chat, txt, or play type writings.

3. Min words 200, Max is 3500. I might budge on the max but only slightly, if yours is over comment and let me know by how much and I will let you know if it's ok

4. Don't follow the rules and I will DQ your story.

5. Please comment on at least one other entry it's a nice thing to do.

5. No prewrites allowed, though I don't see how you could enter a prewrite...

Oh and PLEASE put in your A/N which prompt you chose ^^

Have fun!!

    Lol, everyone wants stories that are no more than 1,000 words; mine always come out about 3,000. Because I am so fond of several of your prompts, though, I'll try to come up with something. . .short.
