Writing Exercise #2: Vowels and Consonants

On an unassuming April afternoon, Erika Allegheny inexplicably escaped imprisonment. Erika’s attorney, Alice Ulungu, argued animatedly, and eventually achieved an adjudication of innocence. Ecstatic, Erika’s elderly aunt applauded Alice’s accomplished efforts. Everyone approved…

…but for the victim’s family, kin to the late Rodrigo de Sanchez, who did not deserve the grisly fate that had befallen him. Maria de Sanchez, Rodrigo’s bereaved mother, would never forgive the judge who let the smirking murderess walk free. Neither would she forgive the smarmy, con-woman lawyer. But she reserved pure vindictiveness solely for the girl who posed for the cameras while leaving the courtroom, the girl whose cruel smile burned forever in Maria’s mind.

The prompt was to write one paragraph with all words beginning in vowels, and then one with all words beginning in consonants. Ha ha. Guess which one was easier to write?

Be the first to like.

    It’s certainly rough…I could only think of words beginning in consonants for the vowel part, and vice versa :(
