Poisoned Purple Pen

Story Creative

Prompt: Creation Saturday is going to cost 3500 gps but the good news is there a detective merit badge up for grabs too! I've taken one line from each of your blogs on 2/24. Your task is to write a poem or a story with the lines but also to discover who owns what lines. So yeah, you get to do some snooping in your co-bloggers blogs. Good luck detective writers!

Everyone loves, television station, hair salon, spiritual soul, too many interests, obstacles head on, direction we're heading.


I left the television station and headed to the hair salon, ranting the entire way. I couldn’t stand that dreadful woman with her flighty observations. Who was she to tell me I had too many interests? To tell me that I must face my obstacles head on? With every step, my heels tapped the sidewalk louder, the fury racing through my veins while that woman's voice rang in my ears. I had half a mind to scream at the top of my lungs to make it stop, or bash my head into a brick wall. Both routes had their appeal. I thrust the door open to the saloon, not willing to wait more second longer than necessary.

"Is there anyone here who can fix this?" I asked, pointing to my head

"Sure, have a seat," said a tiny woman with a smile as big as the sun.

I sat down and let her wash my hair and then moved to the chair, knowing it was time for something drastic.

"What would you like?" she asked.

"A big change," I replied.

"Hmm." She stared at me for a long moment in the mirror. "Everyone loves the Rachel still."

I didn't like the direction we're heading, or rather she was heading. No way would I pull off that framed face look. I shook my head.

"How about that shoulder length bob? That would be cute. Hey, you're that woman from the TV."

I cringed, realizing she probably saw the show earlier. "Yes," I admitted.

"I just loved your segment with the Spiritual Soul woman."
