Holly’s 100 WC using the word EXPLOSIVE.
“Smack!”
All of a sudden I was hit dead centre of my face with an explosive rain of snowballs. They were approaching me from every angle. Then my legs buckled below and I hit the solid ground.
“Gotcha!”Sam said. This meant war.
As quickly as I could I formed two snowballs aiming them at Sam, I threw them as firmly as I could.
The first snowball soared past his head and the second hit him in the chest.
“Splat!” he went down with a deafening thud. I called out to him but no response. Did this mean I won?

Great work Holly.
Hello Holly,
A battle of snowballs made a great setting for the use of the prompt word, “EXPLOSIVE”. Your use of the word made it an adjective to describe an intense volley of snowballs. As I continued to read your story, I found it developed well and left the ending open… “Did this mean I won?”
Well done.
