Mary is mopping the decks, waiting for me to leave. She holds the stem, and I can see that she has been crying. ‘Mary!’ I shout, but she doesn’t hear me at first. ‘Mary! You have to warn them!’ ‘Bethany?Continue reading “From Fandango and Word of the Day – Pirate in Training”

Word Prompts – Pirate in Training
With nothing more than I would be able to eat, I wrap my food in the cloth I started with. Land isn’t that far away. Doves, normally drawn to land, have taken to joining Charles while he lowers his nets. Mary walks in, as I am about to leave, and her silence eats into myContinue reading “Word Prompts – Pirate in Training”
Word prompts – Faithful friends
https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2021/08/22/rdp-sunday-aghast/ https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/daily-prompt-links-for-august-2021/ When my old dog, Scamp, passed away I wasn’t sure I would get a new dog. It had been an inspiring journey with him. My husband always owned dogs, and I was aghast when he said we should have one. I am a cat person, and all my life they were given houseroom.Continue reading “Word prompts – Faithful friends”
Sunday Stark Truth – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again
Another slap, and she collided with the fire guard. His mother’s crystal vase toppled. Thomas stopped, steadying it with his hand. Martha held up her arm, as he roughly dragged her to a standing position. Ridges materialized in her upper arms, where his grip tightened until red welts remained. His right hand hovered in theContinue reading “Sunday Stark Truth – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”
Prompt from Fandango – Amuse
https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/22/fowc-with-fandango-amuse/ ‘Tell me,’ I say, watching a seagull dive into the sea for its early morning meal. ‘Why did you all decide to go to sea? Surely there are many sinners on land who need saving.’ ‘We go where we are sent, where we are needed most,’ she says. I twist my head back, thereContinue reading “Prompt from Fandango – Amuse”
Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2021/08/21/marzipan/ Marzipan, in years all told, and I am in childhood mode. Parties where my mum would either buy a cake, with marzipan covering the top like a blanket. Or she would get one of her sisters to bake a cake with marzipan. My ode to marzipan is a short one because I’m not theContinue reading “Word Prompts – Word of the Day/Stream of Consciousness.”

Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again
Chapter Seventeen Martha CHRISTMAS DAY Thomas polished off his dinner, along with a whole bottle of whisky. The second bottle of wine was empty by the time Martha brought out the Christmas pudding. As usual, she surpassed herself. The turkey was crisp and golden, the roast potatoes browned to perfection. The gravy extravagant. She barelyContinue reading “Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”
Pirate in Training – From Word Prompts

First or third person? Weeks of comfort aboard this communal ship gives me strength. Guilt as frothy as air depletes this. How can I sit amongst good people when adventure waits in the ocean? ‘You okay?’ Mary asks. Kindness exacerbates my guilt –Continue reading “Pirate in Training – From Word Prompts”
An answer to Fandango’s question #FPQ
https://fivedotoh.com/2021/07/28/fandangos-provocative-question-128/ I’m not sure, but my husband is totally my opposite in many ways. I am normally the glass half full sort of person. If something goes wrong I will try and find solutions to the problem. I won’t give up until I can at least find a way through the fog. My husband isContinue reading “An answer to Fandango’s question #FPQ”
