Spooky Season

I love writing for https://sparksfromacombustiblemind.wordpress.com/2022/10/03/share-your-world-10-3-2022/ because the questions always make me think. This week’s questions are brilliant for October. Favourite horror or Halloween-themed song?  Or a song you rarely hear except around a holiday. The Monster Mash, it’s a graveyard smash – It always makes me want to sing the whole song. Although I canContinue reading “Spooky Season”

Made With Love

Written in response to https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ A collection of tools, some handed down from his father, some he collected himself, and some were gifts from loved ones. Christmas, Halloween, or birthdays, and he never brought anything. Handmade with love. A toy rocking horse for his granddaughter, a painted box for his daughter (She collected little pebbles),Continue reading “Made With Love”

Mum

The six-sentence prompt from https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/10/02/maestro-if-you-please-its-a-6/ is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOtuoHL45Y. They say music helps people, who suffer with Alzheimer’s to remember husbands, wives, or even children they have forgotten. Earphones, gently placed over her greying hair, I hoped this would help her relive something from her past. As always, she glanced at me with a vacant expression, inContinue reading “Mum”

Shopping

This week from https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2022/10/01/same-same-but-different-saturday-mix-1-october-2022/ is a word list, to create a prose, poem, or a story. Not these words, but synonyms. Looking at her Halloween list, an early start is best . . . Last year all the good stuff Gone. Sales had lost their zest. A pen drawn out of thin air She twistedContinue reading “Shopping”

In a Pickle

Today’s word prompt from https://fivedotoh.com/2022/10/01/fowc-with-fandango-pickle/, and it made me think of the only metaphor, you’re all in a pickle. ‘You’re all in a pickle today,’ Mum said. ‘Pickle? I don’t like pickle,’ Tom stared at his mum with a confused look. It was like the other day, she told him to pull his socks up,Continue reading “In a Pickle”

Remembering The Good Walks

This week’s inspiration is from https://cyranny.com/2022/09/28/september-28th-1minfiction-challenge/. I got to thinking about my previous dog Scamp. He was a cross breed, well mongrel really, with a very German Shepard look. Many people said he looked a little like a wolf. He passed on four years ago, and life was very strange without a dog. So, Titan,Continue reading “Remembering The Good Walks”

Dreaming?

Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/09/30/reenas-xploration-challenge-250/. A narrative, story, or a poem or wherever the inspiration takes us. Covering the forest floor, I had seen these roots before. Perhaps in a dream, I wasn’t sure – I couldn’t remember most of my dreams when I woke up. But this was familiar, like de-ja-vu had me in its gentleContinue reading “Dreaming?”
