Sweet Ninja Challenge Time!

It's challenge time, but first I have to tell you about two yummy treats I just rediscovered!

You all should know by now how much I love giant Laffy Taffy's and Sour Patch Kids, right? Well, have you ever had Mamba's or fruity Mentos? Man, my teeth are going to hate me!
 

Anyway, here are the requirements for the most recent campaign challenge.

Write a blog post in 200 words or less, excluding the title. It can be in any format, whether flash fiction, non-fiction, humorous blog musings, poem, etc. The blog post should:

• include the word "imago" in the title
• include the following 4 random words: "miasma," "lacuna," "oscitate," "synchronicity,"

If you want to give yourself an added challenge (optional and included in the word count), make reference to a mirror in your post.

For those who want an even greater challenge (optional), make your post 200 words EXACTLY!

Yeah, this was the hardest challenge Rach has ever given. Hands down. At least, for me it was. Maybe everyone else just has a bigger vocab than I do.


After looking up each word at dictionary.com and being more confused then I was when I first read the words, I decided that I didn't have to use the word the right way. In the end, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. You'll have to decide for yourself! 

 Super Ninja Imago 

One minute I was enduring miasma, when BAM! Out of nowhere I tumbled into blackness with a stick in one hand.

What was I supposed to do with that? I searched the cold ground and found a chain between two handles.

Suddenly, a door opened and a hot Japanese boy gaped at me. “What are you waiting for?” he asked. “Get up and put your nunchucks in ready position. They’re here.”

I jumped to my feet and wondered what a nunchuck ready position was. Hot boy raced off and I followed, my nunchuck swinging in circles. We rounded a corner and faced five ninjas.   

“Do you remember the first spell?” boy asked. His wand lifted, turning the closest ninja into a rat.

I mirrored him and said the first thing that came to mind. “Abracadabra Lacuna.”

Nothing happened.

The ninjas moved closer so I swung my nunchuck and let go. It totally missed my target, smacking hot boy in the gut.  

I wanted to help him but the ninjas were moving in. I lifted my wand again. “Synchronicity oscitate.”

BAM! I landed back in class, my science teacher gaping at me with his teaching stick in hand. Stupid sci-fi ninja.   

So, did I use the words right? Any of them? 

If you like this, be sure to stop by here and actually "Like" it. I'm number 134 . And while you're there, be sure to read more! I'm excited to make the rounds myself.

Do you like writing flash fiction?
