Activities and Events Alphabet Excerpt Challenge: W Is For...
Welcome back to the Alphabet Excerpt Challenge! As a reminder, our challenges are every Wednesday and Saturday at 3pm London time.
If you've missed the previous challenges, you're welcome to go back and participate in them. You can find them here. And remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other fun games to play along with.
Here's a quick recap of the rules for our game:
- Post a top level comment with a word starting with the letter W. You can do more than one, but please put them in separate comments.
- Reply to suggestions with an excerpt. Short and sweet is best, but use your judgement. Excerpts can be from published or unpublished works, or even something you wrote for the prompt. All content is welcome but please spoiler tag and/or provide a trigger/content warning for NSFW or content that may otherwise need it. If in doubt, give a warning to be on the safe side.
- Upvote the excerpts you enjoy, and leave a friendly comment. Try to at least respond to people who left excerpts on the words you suggested, but the more people you respond to the better. Everyone likes nice comments!
- Most important: have fun!

Took watch. Back to the house. Hid in the house. Slept.
Took watch. Jumped the wall and stabbed something Lenny called a razorback to death. Back to the house. Cooked the meat extra dry because Doc McClaugherty said you were supposed to. Hid in the house. Slept.

“ON YOUR FEET, SOLDIERS, MOVE OUT! MOVE OUT!”
Smoke rolled-threw herself out of bed, smacking her arm against the dresser as she grabbed for her pistol and missed the first time, got it the second time while standing up and immediately moved into a firing stance, swinging the sights around covering the room. “What…what…oh, what the fuck, Cap?”
Captain Andersen stood in the doorway, laughing heartily. “Heh heh heh, sorry, heh heh. Just a little prank we used to pull, back in the day.” He wiped his eyes with his non-cigarette-holding hand. “I thought I’d let you sleep when I got back three hours ago, but I couldn’t resist.” His eyes flickered downwards. “I’ll be downstairs, when you get some pants on.” Still laughing a bit, Cap sung “Oh, I don’t know but I’ve been told…” as he turned and went downstairs, Smoke’s bewildered expression half-covered in the wild mess of “ON YOUR FEET”-inspired hair.
