Prompt: it was heavier than I expected…

My name is Thor and this is how I got my powers.

It all started in Iceland during the summer of 1996 when it was my daughter, Susan’s, 16th birthday. We went exploring and that is when we found it; the hammer. It had weird inscriptions on it, like it was ancient or something. When I picked it up it was heavier than I expected.

BAM! Lightning smashed the ground beside me. I pointed to our hut and Susan started running to safety. Bam, the hut exploded as it was struck! Now I am Thor, the God Of Lightning.

I like the idea but you are supposed to put the prompt in between a sentence.😊

    I don’t know that I agree. As long as the prompt is used or referred to, I think that’s fine.

Hi Brookes!
I really liked your story and the idea. Next time use the prompt within the sentence, and not just end the sentence.

    Hi Ana,
    I’m not sure that I agree. Why can’t the prompt be used at the end? I’m curious, as I believe it’s just an idea to get the writer thinking.

A terrifying experience! I’m not sure that I would enjoy being Thor. I wonder how Susan felt about it.
Your work was well organised into paragraphs which really helps the reader.
I enjoyed your story – keep writing!
