Aging – It’s The Truth

This Tuesday, our https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/11/01/truthful-tuesday-1st-november-2022/ question is does time fly as you get older. Yes, it does!!! When I was a kid, I remember thinking, great I am five and three-quarters, and when I am six: I will be able to have more freedom. Now at the ripe old age of late fifties, I stick toContinue reading “Aging – It’s The Truth”

Gaslighting

Today’s story starter from https://fivedotoh.com/2022/11/01/fandangos-story-starter-70/. I have found my inspiration again. Allison started laughing hysterically when she found out that her former boyfriend was jailed for his part of the murder of his second wife. She was lucky. His treatment of her, of women in general and she had a lucky escape. A few yearsContinue reading “Gaslighting”

Land of the Living

This week from https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ Watching, through the empty doorway, on Halloween, it was the only day she could walk with the living. Her ancestors, from the day she died, and she protected them. When they prayed, she listened. Did her best to let them know it wasn’t a bad place you went to. Your versionContinue reading “Land of the Living”

Friday or Sunday

For this week’s https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/10/28/fibbing-friday-28th-october/ I am posting on a Sunday. What is the most intelligent lifeform on Earth? A cat, they sleep most of the day, catch the occasional mouse, and get petted by humans. Why did we really go to school? To give our parents a few hours of peace. What did teachers doContinue reading “Friday or Sunday”

Entertainment?

Sunday confessionals and https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2022/10/30/sunday-confessionals-encounters/ a picture prompt. It used to be where people went for entertainment. Before television, radio, or even books: where most people couldn’t read, there used to be public hangings. Old women would bring their knitting. Men, from all walks of life, would try and find a front row seat. Especially whenContinue reading “Entertainment?”

Now That’s a Question

Roy, at Earthly Comforts https://earthlycomforts.uk/2022/10/29/question-time-over-coffee-2/ and I will answer his questions. What ways are you adopting to save on energy bills? I have a smart meter now and can tell when I am using the most energy. The air fryer tends to use less energy, so I will use that when I can. In theContinue reading “Now That’s a Question”

A New Beginning

Written for https://emkingston.wordpress.com/2022/10/28/e-m-s-rwp-314-junketeer/ Jacketless, I sit, holding sand in my palm, letting it drift through my fingers. What have I found out so far? That the person I was supposed to trust all the way through my investigation, has now been deemed a liar. Someone, who for the sake of power and privilege, took somethingContinue reading “A New Beginning”

Restart – Rewind

The word of the day from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ is alarm ‘Well, for a fire alarm, there isn’t much urgency is there – I mean fire, fire, there is a fire, in a calm tone doesn’t actually make me want to wake up.’ Terry said. ‘True, but at least I know when the toast is burnt,’ MelanieContinue reading “Restart – Rewind”

In The Dark

A chapter from my work in progress – In The Dark There is a hint of lemon cleaner still lingering on my table. It contrasts with the sweet chilli sauce I have just put on my chips. I pick one up, squashing it between my fingers, before I eat it in one go. Crackle, spit,Continue reading “In The Dark”

Politico – It’s an Opinion

Reena has given us her challenge this week, using the word Politico ‘It’s all so politico at the moment,’ David said. ‘Not heard of that word, what does it mean?’ His grandmother, not the typical person you would expect, would spend most of her time out of the house rather than in. To be fair,Continue reading “Politico – It’s an Opinion”
