Another Try

I recently went through a really bad breakup and had sworn off relationships forever until I got a phone call out of the blue. I intended to go to bed early, with a good book, and my Rottweiler warming my feet. He was the only good thing to come out of my last relationship, andContinue reading “Another Try”

Family Photo

https://thespectacledbean.com/author/thespectacledbean/ has asked the question When it comes to the photos your friends + family share, do you have a strongly held opinion about any one type of photo you dislike seeing?

Blind Date

What possessed me to go on Tinder? Boredom? Long lonely evenings with just my cat for company? I wasn’t sure, but sitting opposite my date, that’s where I wanted to be.

Home Sweet Home

Thank you Fandango for your Flash Fiction Challenge. Daddy promised he would be home today, in his lorry. He promised me he would bring me a dolly all the way from Paris.

My Valentine

This week Sunday’s Poser is; What are your thoughts about Valentine’s Day? I’ve been married for thirty-four years, and Valentine’s Day isn’t something we celebrate.

My Creativity and Imagination

This week’s topic for E’M’s Sunday Ramble is “Creativity & Imagination?“. Here are the questions: When did you first discover your love of writing?

With several shakes of his head, the mechanic imparted his bad news. He really wanted to give this owner a reprieve. She had been a regular customer for a few years, and each time he could see the worry lines etched on her face and the holes in her jumper. Just once, he wanted toContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/02/13/fowc-with-fandango-reprieve/”
