https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/ Every week, hour, second and Stacey was no closer to getting a job. Bills crash to her welcome mat. She is surviving on unsubstantiated, sugar filled meals. There is no question, she won’t be able to pay my bills, let alone her rent. She scrapes mould of her bread, and puts it in theContinue reading “Three Challenges in One”

Mama Bear – My Beautiful Girl
I have posted late today because it is my granddaughter’s birthday party. She is only two, so probably won’t remember this day. Even though my son’s best friend dressed up as Daddy Shark. It made the children’s day. They spent most of it running around him and having the time of their lives. My granddaughterContinue reading “Mama Bear – My Beautiful Girl”
Forgetful Prompt
I’m not sure whether it is my age, but I reckon I’m getting more and more forgetful. Either I repeat what I say without realising I have already told someone a fact, or I forget things I have been told. Mostly it is names – it makes me seem like I haven’t listened the firstContinue reading “Forgetful Prompt”
Peace and Quiet
Grave Midnight, and the air is thick with frost. That’s the way I like it, alone and with time to think I meander around the graves. It’s not the first time my thoughts have needed silence.

Net curtains on the alert, I don’t want to answer the door. Yet he keeps on knocking. I took the loan out because I wanted to get my little girl the present she always wanted, now it was clear the interest threatened to lose us our home. She just wanted to fit in. Now I’mContinue reading “From Word Prompt – #Minifictionchallenge”
Never Again
I listened as Big Ben struck eleven, twelve and closed my eyes, but tonight it kept going. Thirteen. Had I heard it right? I peer into the darkness, and tap my phone. All I see is a blank screen before it changes. Not one o’clock, not two, but something in between. If I had beenContinue reading “Never Again”
Haiku – Moon
Haunting, filter and moon Winter Moon A gnarled moon’s haunting lyrical sings loud, I have no filter.
Independence – An earned right
https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/ I am the youngest child, and there are many benefits to this. I’m sure my older brother and sister will say I got away with a lot as a child., but as I watched them gain in independence I was still at home. I wanted to be where they were, able to make myContinue reading “Independence – An earned right”
