Literary Ninjas | Daily Writing Prompts: June 2013

Each Daily Writing Prompt will list several words which must be used within a story of 500-1,000 words. The word in parenthesis beside each dictates how it must be used within the story. If there is an asterisk instead of a word, that means you can choose how to interpret the word.
