Day 4

(Sorry for the absence but the prompts are back!)

Travel back in time. Listen to the love songs of the fifties (ex. Under the Boardwalk; Who Put the Bomp; My Girl) and grease your hair or put on your poodle skirt. You're falling in love 60 years ago. Create characters, a setting, and unravel a story that could have only happened in the fifties.

Challenge: Write something that breaks the sheltered mold the fifties usually surround themselves with.

Tip: Take five minutes and do a bit of research. What was popular during the fifties? What were the social custom like? What was the slang? Make your piece as accurate as possible.

Ready. Set. Time Travel.
