Brain Experiment For You (Yes, You)

What genre do you love to read/write? Supernatural, Historical fiction, non-fiction, YA, juvenile, board books, Women's lit, Fantasy, comedy, romance (ooh la la)?

A few years ago, my sisters and I did a writing exercise. One wrote a little about something, passed on the last sentence and the next sister continued writing based on what the sentence said. It was fun and the story was amusing. In fact, one of my sisters was inspired by her portion and wrote a book based on it. (A pretty amazing book, actually. One I hope the masses will be able to read very soon. hint, hint)
Lately, I've been wondering about how unique our minds are. Mix that with all the genres and there are endless ways to write about the same thing. SO... I want to try an exercise of my own.
Here's what to do:

 MC visits someone at work. While there, natural disaster strikes.

Take this line and write about it. I'm thinking 500 words or so. Post your story in the comments section of this post by July 15th. Then, just to make it fun, I'll repost them and we'll have a vote for the favorite. Winner gets a $10 Amazon card. 

Sound fun? Let your imagination flow. 

Shoot out on the Moore's

Please ignore the fact that I've not posted here in so long and instead focus on the purpose that has me blogging once again.
Many may know, or not know, that I, Stacy Kupiec, have written a little YA supernatural book. I did it a long time ago, thinking it was going to be the next big thing. I pictured the rolling out of red carpet as I passed by the paparazzi on my way in to watch the premiere. And I was glamourous.
I have since eaten many pieces of humble pie.
After being overstuffed on this bitter pie, I put the book away, took some writing lessons, and found a "different direction" to go in. I wrote another book. And then another. But always at the back of my mind was this first story. You see, even though I wasn't supposed to, I fell in love with my characters--Sarah and Tarren--and I felt that they deserved to have their story told.
With this decision finally made, I rolled up my figurative sleeves and rewrote their story, edited their story (several times), and then edited it once more. This time, I think it's ready.
Tonight I spent a little time at a photographer friend of mine's house as she took the photos that will be used on the cover of the book that tells Sarah and Tarren's story.
I took a few pics with my phone. I am not a photographer and these are not the pics that will be used on the cover. 

This is the model representing Tarren. Before the shoot, he pumped up his forearm for maximum vein-age. Nice!

Laying down on the job. Hee Hee. It looks weird to you, because you don't know what's going on.
But you will!
Soon.
