Christmas Tree

For Friday Fictioneers A tree is for life, not just for Christmas. ‘You want to do what?’ ‘The misses will be stoked, I mean it will save money. We won’t need to buy another one.

For E.M. – Champagne

Today’s Random Word is: champagne ‘I don’t like champagne,’ she said, as she was handed a glass. It wasn’t true, she loved champagne, any drink would have done a few years ago.

On reflection

Sarah follows every line of her reflection in the mirror, and wishes so many things. She wishes her thighs were a little smaller, and her worry lines a little thinner. Her hair was too grey, and her eyes a little too close together. This dress certainly didn’t suit. It showed off all the flabby bitsContinue reading “On reflection”
