With a zest for life, at the grand old age of eighty-three, Mavis checked her harness was secure. Looking forward to her first parachute jump, she grinned at the handsome instructor, who would do the tandem jump with her. What a bonus.

Looking at the swatches of colour in her hand Charlotte spread them out like she was playing colour poker. She didn’t realise there were so many shades of blue; turquoise, navy, sky, royal, baby and nautical. She opened the tiny, plastic tins and painted each on the wall. Her little girl’s first bedroom, and itContinue reading “https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/06/04/weekly-prompts-colour-challenge-nautical-blue/”

Young Again

Who was your first crush? First names only! Peter Was this a celebrity or someone you knew ? It was someone I knew, but not well. He was a friend of my friend. He had dark hair, and drove a Radio Rentals van. How old were you? Fifteen. How old was your crush? Seventeen. DidContinue reading “Young Again”

Freedom

Pain, a feeling of unkempt emotion falling in black tears. Tabitha had days when she could cope with her past. She would wake up, beat away the fog in her mind. Keep busy. Always keeping busy. Work, writing, painting, cooking, cleaning, moving forward in a bid to keep her past from crashing through into theContinue reading “Freedom”

Poppy

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #233 has given us this picture prompt today. Sands of time, travel seamlessly through each doorway. Where once was a home, now is empty. She blinks. Time, flows, gathers, layer upon layer, until new memories are created. Past hurt only lingers for a little while, until grains cover each and every piece ofContinue reading “Poppy”

In The Dark

https://wordpress.com/tag/ragtag-daily-prompt has given us the word ”ink”. Ink, sinking into my skin, like the ink on the newspaper I write in everyday, surrounds me. Even in my dreams I see Graham. He is disjointed like his features are blurred into some weird abstract art. I’m missing something, but I still can’t remember the accident. IContinue reading “In The Dark”

On The Edge

https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/author/girlieontheedge1/ word prompt is six sentences PROMPT WORD: EDGE Some days she felt on the edge of worthlessness. That day was like no other, but . . . she talked about what was bothering her. Understood there were others. Knowing now she wasn’t to blame.

What to Believe

Why do you think so many people are so confident in beliefs that can’t be proven? I was brought up as a Christian, went to Sunday school, and was taught about God (the good and the evil). I still have a semi-belief, but don’t believe their is a magical place called heaven. Do I believeContinue reading “What to Believe”

Review – Into the Crooked Place

I came across this book in my local Tesco. They have a scheme where you can put money towards a charity and give pre-read books new readership. It isn’t my normal genre, but the book cover intrigued me. ”The realms make monsters of us all” was the sub title. I wasn’t disappointed with my choice.Continue reading “Review – Into the Crooked Place”

In The Dark

When the taxi driver suddenly turned in the wrong direction, I asked him what he was doing. He turned around, had a nasty grin on his face, and told me that he was not who I thought he was. It was through the layers of my hazy vision, I recognise his voice. Throughout the investigation,Continue reading “In The Dark”
