Friday Writings #139: Magaly's Bookshelf?

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Ms. Magaly had an unexpected situation pop up, one that required her attention. So today you shall have to make do with me.

The optional prompt she had in mind for this week involved titles. Perhaps these titles are all neatly lined up on one of her shelves at home. Maybe this is her summer reading so far. Perhaps these were the titles of books she threw at someone who was being annoying while she was walking through Central Park. (Lies. Magaly would never mistreat books that way. Also one is the title of a short story, not a book.) In any case, here are the titles she suggests for inspiration this week:

• I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream
• One Hundred Years of Solitude
• Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
• Something Wicked This Way Comes
• The Unbearable Lightness of Being

What is the mysterious origin of this title list? We many never know...

You know the drill: Prose or poetry is just fine, as is fiction or non-fiction. Just remember, please keep your pieces to 369 words or fewer and just one piece per person.

Next week, Magaly shall return, to cover my optional prompt, things that aren't so scary (anymore).
