For Simply Six Minutes – Family Reunion

Three years is a long time in our world. Bob had lived in another zoo only a few miles away, but the humans couldn’t meet up, so we went into our own isolation. My friend, my very best friend  and life partner, brought me in for a hug. When we finally let go, we hadContinue reading “For Simply Six Minutes – Family Reunion”

A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

‘Were you close to your dad?’ For the first time that afternoon, Martha relaxed in her chair. ‘I loved his stories, and he was a good listener. Always there when I needed him. When I was being bullied, he would spend hours just making me feel better.’ ‘Tell me a little more about that.’ AnguishContinue reading “A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

A New Beginning – A trio of Word Prompts

The question is do I experiment, and the answer is probably no to most things. The one thing I have done, which I hadn’t written before was my play. I have always written longer pieces such as novels and novellas. When I was told about a playwright course I thought why not. They had theirContinue reading “https://weeklyprompts.com/2021/11/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-experiment/”

Life – Going Around in Circles

The two things I’m most proud of is that I’m responsible for bringing to lives into this world. As any parent realises, they only want the best for their children. We fight alongside them as children, but when they grow into adults we have to let them go their own way, just as our parentsContinue reading “Life – Going Around in Circles”
