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.

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”

One boy and his dog, it had always been that way. From when I was old enough to talk Mitch was always with me. At first he took me on walks, but as I got older I took him. We both loved the park, with its great hideaways from the world. Today we waited. WeContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/20/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-136/”

When I grow up

Also, this is my https://fivedotoh.com/2022/09/23/fandangos-flashback-friday-september-23rd/ In answer to the question, what did I want to be when I grew up. I’ve always wanted to be a writer, that has never changed. I am a writer now, and was when I was five. I also wanted to be an actress. I was going to be centreContinue reading “When I grow up”

Monday Mayhem – A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

Theresa tried to lessen the distance between them. ‘Listen to Martin love.’ ‘Why can’t you get angry?’ She twirled around, and stabbed Martin in the chest. ‘You too Martin.

Sunday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

‘No, it wasn’t. I wish you would understand that Thomas was the monster, not you.’ ‘I just didn’t love him enough.’ Martha didn’t want to argue anymore and turned her head to face the wall. It was easier to say nothing. Laura wouldn’t change her mind about her father, any more than she could hers.Continue reading “Sunday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”

http://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/19/fowc-with-fandango-exception/ I climb out the of the boat, and I am bombarded with a sound so loud my ears pop. This isn’t a battle between another ship, but another world. The sky is lit up like the Gods themselves are arguing. It reminds me of the storm that ate its way to my little islandContinue reading “Bethany – Pirate in Training – from Fandango Word Prompt.”
