Friday Freedom – A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

The car came to a halt, but Martha wasn’t prepared to leave. ‘You must go inside,’ The youngest policewoman said.  Martha paid attention to her words and allowed the blanket to be swathed around her once again. Consenting to the police officer’s proffered hand, she climbed out of the car. An unsympathetic wind whipped againstContinue reading “Friday Freedom – A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

From Word Prompts – Bethany The Pirate in Training – A New Start

Needless to say, I couldn’t stop smiling. My whole family in one room again – My father alive, and I had memories of him. Memories of Harry. Nothing had been taken from me, and we were together. ‘You’ve been asleep quite a while,’ Dad said. I flung my arms around him and my arms wrappedContinue reading “From Word Prompts – Bethany The Pirate in Training – A New Start”

If I Were a Rich . . .

First of all, I want to say that this picture doesn’t remind me of untold riches. There are two things it reminds me of – one of them are family poker nights when I was a child. My nan, who I never met, used to hold card schools. When mum grew up, her and allContinue reading “If I Were a Rich . . .”

At a time when most people were struggling, Mavis was having the time of her life. Retired, she took her lump sum and invested it a once in a lifetime trip round the world. Her first destination was Italy, then she would go from country to country, and throw his ashes in the four cornersContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/21/fandangos-story-starter-12/”

For SHARE YOUR WORLD (Squirrelly Style) 9-20-2021

If I were in a comedy duo, I would be the straight man, and my son would be the funny one. He says funny things without even trying. I think it is partly to do with his autism – he has a sort of dry humour and is naturally gifted in that way. I tendContinue reading “For SHARE YOUR WORLD (Squirrelly Style) 9-20-2021”

lithography I’m not sure if my mother understands me, but for a second she lowers her arms. She is tiring, but that isn’t why she has stopped. The ships steers towards the clouds, and she turns to face me. Hailstones are like lithography, and imprint only the sea around us. The ship is safe, butContinue reading “https://sparksfromacombustiblemind.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wodzigg.jpg?w=285&h=189”
