Clearly, it is a beautiful day. On Easter Weekend, the sun is shining, and we are going out for the day (secret squirrel style) The person concerned doesn’t know as it is a surprise party. We have the perfect day for it, and I am looking forward to seeing family. I wish we had aContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/04/17/fowc-with-fandango-clearly/”

Prologue – Re-edited
I posted my first draft of my prologue ”In The Dark”. This is the edited version, although knowing me won’t be the last edit. I have sent it to my writing group, who will notice things I never even thought of. The only problem with this prologue, it sort of changes the rest of theContinue reading “Prologue – Re-edited”
Hiding in Shadows
Irrelevant, standing in the playground watching other children playing football, or chatting. Her first day, but her last day all at the same time. Her stomach lurched forward, in a bid to stay upright. If she stayed here until the day started she could avoid conflict. Changing schools seemed a good idea at the time,Continue reading “Hiding in Shadows”
Different
Same Same But DifferentMy ‘Same Same But Different’ task is to take the five challenge words and NOT use them in your writing. That’s right, you need to dig out your thesaurus and find a synonym for each word instead. https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/ My inspiration if I choose to accept it, is to change up these words.Continue reading “Different”
Fancy Fibs For Friday
Who sang these? 1. Money, Money, Money My bank manager, he thinks I need more in my bank account, but short of robbing a bank that isn’t going to happen. 2. Another Brick in the Wall My mortgage advisor a few years ago, he said it might be better to get some bricks to makeContinue reading “Fancy Fibs For Friday”
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.
