Written for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/12/19/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-198/ Mary sat on the floor, in the library, waiting for the madness to be over. Everyone, in their Christmas hats, and jumpers. Singing festive songs on the Karaoke machine. She didn’t want to be there, reminded of those, whose Christmas would be full of presents and peace. There was no peace atContinue reading “Going Home”

Walkies
This week’s Story Starter teaser, for the story, https://fivedotoh.com/2022/12/20/fandangos-story-starter-77/ The sun was setting over the lake, painting the sky in a mix of orange and gold, and the air was filled with the sound of crickets singing, when suddenly I placed my cold nose on the ground, there was a scent I hadn’t had theContinue reading “Walkies”
What Was That?
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2022/12/21/wooly/ ‘Mate, you’re a bit wooly around the ears tonight, I told you twice what my order was and you still get back here with a diet coke.’ ‘Look, it’s these Santa ears, and hair, and I can’t hear a thing over the noise of that music. They charge ten quid for aContinue reading “What Was That?”
Spread the Joy
My post today is for https://lindaghill.com/2022/12/21/one-liner-wednesday-today/ Christmas, be grateful, kind, and understand, what might be a great time for some, may not be for others. I am looking forward to Christmas, spending it with my family – watching my grandchildren open their presents, enjoy a tasty meal prepared by my daughter’s partner, eat chocolates, biscuits,Continue reading “Spread the Joy”
Befriended
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2018/06/21/reenas-exploration-challenge-week-42/. The Chicken Shop Scam is real. Vulnerable young adults think they are befriended, brought a meal, then to pay back the money owed they have to transfer a package, which then goes missing. On You tube, it is worth watching. It gave me inspiration for my new work in progress. Through theContinue reading “Befriended”

Strict rules for the first person to go back. No interacting with anyone else, just to observe, see from the side lines. A horse race, banned now of course. The winner Red Rum, theContinue reading “Time Travel”
True Love
I have written this prose for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ Under your spell, as we looked at each other across the room. You smiled, and I could see the dimples in your chin. We were friends up to that point. Her first marriage was troubled, with a man she couldn’t rely on. Here was a friend, who offeredContinue reading “True Love”
Common Courtesy
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ She asks do we ask before we re blog another post. To be honest, I don’t re blog. I don’t feel like I know other bloggers enough to see whether they would approve or not. Personally, if some one likes my post enough to share it with others, that can only beContinue reading “Common Courtesy”
Snow Angel
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/tag/word-of-the-day/ We always used to joke about the way we met, on a snow covered mountain. I broke my ankle on purpose you said. I still remember you carrying me down to the lodge. I’m not the fallen heroine type. I can look after myself but you were there and I couldn’t getContinue reading “Snow Angel”
