Gnarly

A gnarly tree, in the middle of nowhere. Why was Stella here? In this forgotten place, where even witches feared to tread. Fortunes could be won, but also lost. Your future in a crowd of broken hearts. She needed to know whether her marriage was true. Love, lies, and a feeling that she couldn’t shake.Continue reading “Gnarly”

Ouch

‘How much will it cost?’ Davina didn’t want to know, but she couldn’t help asking. ‘With the tyres six hundred and one pounds,’ the receptionist said. Inside, conversations could hardly be heard. Especially with going deaf in one ear. Repeated in the quiet of the shopping centre, she sat down on the chairs reserved forContinue reading “Ouch”

Mother’s Day

https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ asks do I celebrate Mother’s Day, and did I celebrate the day with my mum. I celebrated Mother’s Day when Mum was alive by taking her out for a meal somewhere. Me, my brother and sister (plus all our families) joined forces and went together. She would love all the attention, and we couldContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

My Sunday Ramble for E.M

Here are the questions: When did you start your blog? I started my blog just under a year ago. I had just self published my book, ”It Won’t Happen Again”. I found a group of like minded people. Word prompts abound, great posts to read, and I am enjoying it so far. I love theContinue reading “My Sunday Ramble for E.M”

A Writers Lot

The life of a published writer must be all glamour right? Most of the time it is spent behind a screen, writing, editing, writing some more. Maybe even scrapping what you wrote because it doesn’t sound right. Hemmingway had it partly right. Your first draft is always rubbish – although what about the second, thirdContinue reading “A Writers Lot”

Questions

Thanks pensitivity101 for another Fibbing Friday What did the couch say to the toilet? Don’t get too settled up there, my cushions are comfier. What caused the last traffic jam in town? The latest game for the Xbox (version 2000). They are saying that this one has one new feature than the rest. What reallyContinue reading “Questions”

Life is a Stage

“The water slapped her on the leg, and then it began to…” The water slapped her on the leg, and then it began rising – first over her waist, to be followed by the familiar swirling. It was like an old friend somehow. Nobody knew her secret (apart from her father). It was passed downContinue reading “Life is a Stage”

Don’t Run

“This post is part of SoCS:” https://lindaghill.com/author/lindaghill/. She asks for a phrase you grew up with. My mum used to say if you fall down and break your leg don’t come running to me. I mean, even as a child I knew, that if I did break my leg, how in the heck was I goingContinue reading “Don’t Run”

Thank you ”Girl on the Edge” for this six sentence prompt. When they first got married she thought his control sweet – he cared enough to try. When he first was cruel she thought it was her fault – she must try harder. When he first hit her she had no control over her thoughtsContinue reading “https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/05/01/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-210/”
