But that's him! What about you? What would you do? Think about it. It can be as grand as King's character's scheme, or as simple as grabbing a cherry Coke at a soda fountain, with the Coke made with cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup! Then write about it and link up!
Here is a hit song from 1958, to help get you in the mood.
PS--Apparently, I must belabor the obvious. My challenge is to write about what you would do or experience if you were transported to 1958 (or, at least, the 1950s). You needn't have been alive then. Please take on the challenge or don't link. Off-topic links will be deleted.
You sent me on a trip somewhere!

I am first! Goodness how did that happen? Thanks for the prompt Fireblossom!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't try to stop the assassination. As terrible as it sounds, there was a lot of impact on people, and it might be bad to remove that. I'd definitely enjoy a taste of the 50's, which seemed to be a sort of magical time compared to the current hustle and bustle. I'd grab a burger and milkshake, then go to a movie.
ReplyDeleteNow I feel shallow.

1950s South Africa might put me in a mad bad place!
ReplyDeletevery true. I've not gone back that far, I hope that's ok
DeleteI can't believe I've actually shared this secret memory in.poetry, it's been fun :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be around tonight to visit!
ReplyDeleteLike Emma, I don't share that collective memory.
ReplyDeleteMy imaginary trip back is a decade or so later.
Mine was August 9, 1956. Close enough I hope.
ReplyDeleteCool prompt, Shay. I shall return!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time joining you. It looked like so much fun I had to give it a try. I'm always following you though :-)
ReplyDeleteLet's do the time warp again ;D

ReplyDeleteshay... hmmm. been pondering this all day, we'll see if i can turn my musings into anything. just wanted to say i'm here!
ReplyDeleteLove the challenge ~~ I was livin' large in the 50s!!!
ReplyDeleteI was suddenly 12 again. What a trip!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if mine fit the prompt, exactly...but hope it works.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I am one of those people that missed that the prompt was specifically for the 1950's. Sorry about that!
ReplyDeletefor the sake of everyone having to put up with me writing a poem a day, I have refrained from mentioning radiation poisoning, the cold war, or the clash. UR welcome!!!!
ReplyDeleteWay cool prompt Shay. I'll be scribbling and see if I come up with anything to share.
ReplyDeleteafter getting confused with the prompt, like many of us, I've now written a time warp about the 1950s. sorryforgettingitwrong
ReplyDeleteAww, Izy.. no fallout zones, Reds...?
ReplyDelete^^LOL, Kerry is all disappointed! laffin
ReplyDeletehah, obviously i am distracted on top of sleep-deprived. i wrote a poem about 1989. but what the hell, i'll save it for later as no doubt i'll need one later! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that Stephen King story! I'll have to look it up. Sounds fabulous! Thanks! ~Angela
