A New Beginning
Harsh office blocks stand together in a tight huddle against the sunlight. This is my world – 2042 – A world where we move from one road to another without knowing why. I go to work to stop myself from starving, but the tax on fuel cripples me. I rarely use my car these days,Continue reading “A New Beginning”

A colony of humans stamp around the grass, as if they own the very trees around them. A low rumble, getting closer and closer. I hold my family into a tight knit of comfort. My baby, vulnerable. My partner already lost. Still their machines trundle forward, taking down each tree, like they were made ofContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/04/15/fowc-with-fandango-colony/”
Sink or Swim
This week’s throwback Thursday post from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/author/lssattitudeofgratitude/ is about learning to swim. When I was about five, I got pushed in the swimming pool by two boys. I couldn’t swim. Luckily, I was pulled out of the pool, but learning to swim frightened me after that. I didn’t like swallowing the water, or not beingContinue reading “Sink or Swim”
Pristine
The word from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/cyranny/ is pristine. Pushing the hoover across her carpet, Masie felt like Filch in the last film of Harry Potter. No matter the amount of cleaning would get rid the aroma of her Rottweiler Trevor. It would never be pristine. Normally it didn’t matter to her. Young children made a mess, itContinue reading “Pristine”
One Liner Wednesday
Many hours in one day, but you can never go back, only forward.
Tragedy
Tragedy struck again. Maurine was about to go out with the dog, when she saw the poor little bird. A robin this time, next doors cat was going on a murder spree. Taking the tiny creature, she gently picked it up before he did. Putting her dog into a sit, she cradled it in herContinue reading “Tragedy”
Glasses
Where had I put my glasses? More forgetful than normal, this was the seventh time I lost them this week. Yesterday, I left them in the fridge. I’m not even sure why, but I went to get some milk, there they were sitting in the middle rail, chilling. I’m not sure why they were there,Continue reading “Glasses”
Lucky Seven . . .
Five people had already died trying to find that cursed bag, that’s what the thugs at my door told me. They appeared, or rather, slammed past my door with their size eleven boots. I was just eating my dinner, or rather trying to. ”I don’t know what bag you’re on about,’ I said, digging aContinue reading “Lucky Seven . . .”
Favourite World
Questions Do You Prefer Salty Foods or Sweet Foods? I prefer sweet food rather than savoury. I do pick up biscuits, or cake rather than crisps. Although I do like sweet chilli crisps. I like cheesecake, and treacle pudding with lots of ambrosia custard. Would you rather be in a place where it is excessivelyContinue reading “Favourite World”
