”How on earth did you manage that?” To be honest, Sally wasn’t sure, but there was tomato ketchup all over the carpet, and glass everywhere. The last thing she was sure of was the blinding headache before she lost grip of the bottle. ”Another headache?” It was better to be honest, but she didn’t wantContinue reading “A Conscious Stream”

A nobody, with a name nobody spoke to. Most lunch breaks she spent in the school library, her nose behind the pages of her favourite book. Katie. Adventures in which nobody could hurt her. One day she would create a world of her own. One where she would control the ending. Books were piled toContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2022/04/09/fowc-with-fandango-nobody/”

Friends
There was a time when all we had was time. Now, this was but a snippet of history, where three friends got together, in a busy world. Once a month, on a Sunday, we ditched our husbands, and children and took an hour to marvel at the clouds. ”That one looks like an elephant, onContinue reading “Friends”
Typing, Writing, and Ravenclaw
An old fashioned typewriter, and I remember learning to type on something very similar. It was a heavy, made out of metal, and I used to carry it up a flight of steep wooden stairs. I was fourteen, and my parents thought it would be a good idea to learn to type. I fell downContinue reading “Typing, Writing, and Ravenclaw”

You can say that without the technology we have today, we wouldn’t be able to keep in contact with family and friends when they don’t live within driving distance. I am old enough to remember havingContinue reading “Technical”
Home
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/talesfromthemindofkristian/ has suggested salacious for his prompt. The salacious sea swerved around the little boat, surrounding it in a gentle embrace. Sun basked clouds spread their wings as if in flight. Today was a great day. To return home, surprise his wife, Sara. How much had his boy, James grown? The last time he sawContinue reading “Home”
Premium Holiday
Jack got that all too familiar dull, sick feeling in the pit of his stomach when he opened the white envelope. Bills, that’s all they were these days. Gas, almost doubling, he wasn’t sure how he was going to juggle the never ending line of bills. He tore open the envelope, but it looked aContinue reading “Premium Holiday”
