Mother’s Day Dinner
https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/ prompt is rope, and here is my take on it. ‘Soap on a rope, grannie, was that actually a thing?’ Sue asked. As a Mother’s Day conversation, it was slightly weird, but her mother had brought it up. Back in the day, there was such a thing. Telephone boxes, not mobile phones.

Snake in the Grass
Slithering around each blade of grass, Serena felt the dusty floor beneath her slim-line body. Her eyes glued to the blue sky, she kept watch for the leather.
