500 Words XIV - Story Time

This week's sentence was taken from Dickens' 'A Tale Of Two Cities'.

The sentence was:
"Through the rusted bars, tastes, rather than glimpses, were caught of the jumbled neighbourhood; and nothing within range, nearer or lower than the summits of the two-great towers of Notre-Dame, had any promise on it of healthy life or wholesome aspirations."

Without further ado, here are the happy tales to while away your coffee breaks:

Prudence's 'At Seventeen'

Welcome back, Prudence!
But ah, you are so cruel.
A shoe-fetishist's nightmare to tantalise your readers.

Todd's 'The King And The Nightmare'

And taking of nightmares. Brr!
Todd scares the willies out of anyone thinking of a nice, wine-sodden wander through the midnight streets of Paris.

Dive's 'Breaking Point'

More miserable meditations on the nature of God. Hey ho.

Next week's sentence will be posted tomorrow.
