Starry, Starry Night

For Eugis Weekly Prompt – Starry Nights – May 3, 2022 Starry night, the perfect night to sail into the deep blue. Being a pirate wasn’t for everybody, but for Sam it was all he ever knew.

Anxiety

Sitting here on the stair, watching the world go by, afraid sometimes to walk out the door. He pastes on a smile for those who pass him by, but sometimes he feels like a duck swimming on the water. Graceful, like there isn’t a care, when his legs were paddling so fast underneath they hurt.Continue reading “Anxiety”

Animal Welfare

This week our question from https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ is What is a cause you’re passionate about and why? I’m passionate about the treatment of animals.

Colours in Life

If people get a purple heart for bravery, what do the other colours of hearts mean? (Make up your own heart meanings and colours.)

A Small Step

My three words today from Passivity 101 are:CROWDBUSYRUSH Busy, too busy for Sarah to manage at times. A crowd of people, who didn’t even know her, but that didn’t matter. Walking, all eyes on her, and she was in the middle of her nightmares. She had to find the courage to face the busy supermarket.Continue reading “A Small Step”

I Know My Job

Written for Thursday Inspiration #157 I know my job, losing Graham hasn’t change that. Listening to the constant chatter on the streets, something links his death, to my story. It is like Chinese whispers – one person saying something, which is told to another person, who was found dead in an alley. Scott, so young,Continue reading “I Know My Job”

Sisters

Clara was always the person to go to when Davina had a problem. They were always close, like the age difference didn’t matter. As they got older, only a phone call away. Hours talking about their family, someone to talk to, who understood. Young again, as if they were children reading Katie together. Learning herContinue reading “Sisters”
