Tempting
Written for https://weeklyprompts.com/2025/06/21/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-tempting/ Tempting out words from our minds to flow like careful meanderings on to a blank page. Sometimes it is nothing but scrawl. What about the magic? Our mind untangles every journey until the character jumps out and, like Frankenstein, it is alive. Perfect? Never that, but another form of humanity. Ask themContinue reading “Tempting”
Patience
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2025/06/18/one-liner-wednesday-handy-trick/ Patience; seven months will hurry by. This week at work, they were asking for voluntary redundancies.

A Worldly Share
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2025/06/16/share-your-world-16th-june/ Were you born in a hospital, or somewhere else? In hospital.

It is also nice to have good surprises and share themContinue reading “Good Surprises”

A Drop to Drink
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2025/06/13/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-14-2025/ As a young woman, I liked to drink (whisky and lemonade). Primarily, it provided me with social confidence; I would otherwise find such situations challenging. I either speak impulsively, or am too shy to share. Lately, I’ve considered that I’m on the spectrum. Through training at work, I’ve discovered that many girlsContinue reading “A Drop to Drink”
Street Light
Written for https://iwriteher.com/2025/06/14/senhai-saturday-9/ I am of the generation that it was safe to play outside during the day, but as soon as that street light went on, I knew if I weren’t inside I would get told off. Not sure why it was any less safe in the dark, but we didn’t argue with theContinue reading “Street Light”
