Molly's 100 word challenge - week 22

I was trekking up the tallest mountain in the world, K2. My mum and dad were exhausted but I was determined to reach the peak. I pushed and pushed myself, leaving my parents behind. I was almost there, when suddenly I noticed something tumbling down the mountain, coming down at me. I quickly leaped behind a sturdy rock. It crashed down beside me. I slowey stood up and saw that the boney boulder was mysteriously glowing. I inched away from the boulder, very quickly. As I stepped away, it seemed to be rolling towards me. It started to glow brightly...

  3. Hello Molly - I sometimes comment for Team 100wc, so I thought I'd do it here! This is a really good piece of writing - I particularly like your use of adverbs, like suddenly, slowly and mysteriously.

    Also, I love mountains, so I really enjoyed reading this!
    Mr K :-)

    3. A great story, Molly!
      It is clear to me that you were fascinated at maybe a little anxious when the rock started glowing. Nature is misterious!
      There is one typo in your text. Can you find it?
      I would love to read more stories like this, Molly. Keep up the great work ;)
      Kind regards,

    Hi Molly

      I hadn't seen it, so have just been for a look.....another great piece! You have a terrifc knack for describing things - I particularly liked "our toes burning on the baking sand" which made me feel nice and warm on quite a gloomy day!

    Hi Molly
    Just read your blog about no one commenting and thought because you obviously value the feedback then you deserved some from me. Well, what can I say apart from what a great 100WC. We are studying mountains in our school so I know a little bit about K2 and it is a very difficult mountain to climb and I liked the way you described your determination to reach the summit. As for the brightly glowing ball at the end - well I guess we will just have to wait for your next installment. Keep up with your writing and keep nagging Team 100WC!

  7. Hello Molly,

    I am certain it was an error your entry wasn't visited. Members of Team 100WC visit many entries and sometimes we can make mistakes. I think you'll find the team will be trying to make it up to you by having more than one person visit your story.

    You certainly know your mountains by mentioning K2, second in height in the Himalayas. To be climbing on "the roof of the world" would be an experience in itself but to be confronted by the boney enigma.

    This is a well written entry. You were very correct in pointing out you had been missed by Team 100WC. The Team was set up to make sure every entry has a visit.

    Keep entering the 100WC. :)

    1. Hi Ross,

      I never knew that there was a real life mountain K2, I made it up! I'm glad you like it! I know that the 100wc team sometimes can make some mistakes!

      Thanks for commenting!

  8. Hi Molly,

    I am a Team 100WC member, and I saw that you were disappointed that no one commented on your piece. I'd like to take the opportunity to first apologize for the oversight! Second, I'd like to say what a great job you have done here!

    I love the action verbs that you have used to describe what is happening. You leave us wondering what is going to happen next! I am surprised the speaker is not too scared. I know I would be if that happened to me! :)

    Nice job.

      Thanks for getting back!

  9. Hey Molly! Good effort for your story!

    I love the idea of climbing K2 but I don't think I'm healthy enough! I also love the cliff hanger. Is the glowing rock good or bad? Maybe it would give you super powers? Who knows!!

    One thing is to be careful with your spelling (it should be slowly instead of slowey) but you use amazing describing words like "sturdy" to describe the rock and how you "inched" away!

    Keep writing!

  15. Hi Molly, I always enjoy reading your entries. You kept improving your writing skill in each entry into 100wc. You expressed this boldness in this story where you dared to take an adventure on a mountain!
    The suspense created at the end is winsome. Well done!
    So sorry that you did not get comments earlier. It was not intentional, I believe.
    I guess you're getting so many as compensation now.
