#RDP and #FOWC Word Prompts – Sustain and Lollygag

http://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/05/fowc-with-fandango-sustain/ Standing on the beach is our mother – she wraps her shawl around her body, and beckons us to shore. Harry recognises her too. ‘Anchor the ship,’ Harry says, looking at me for conformation. ‘It is our mother, and I don’t know how, but I’m home.’ I couldn’t sustain my calm exterior. Was itContinue reading “#RDP and #FOWC Word Prompts – Sustain and Lollygag”

Sunday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

A tray with a small silver teapot, jug and a small cup were brought over. With only a nod of thanks, Martha resumed her vigil. She struggled to open the sachets of sugar. Her focus, on the bell over the door, was the only thing she could think about. One last look at her watch,Continue reading “Sunday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”

Word Prompts – Newspaper, Striate and Pin.

Reposted for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/09/30/fandangos-flashback-friday-september-30th/ This is my take on three great word prompts. I remember days when my husband brought a newspaper. He would ignore pinned shocking headlines and go straight to the football page. More specifically if Chelsea were playing the day before. He rarely read the whole striation of paragraphs. Once he finished, IContinue reading “Word Prompts – Newspaper, Striate and Pin.”

From Thursday Inspiration #124 and six word prompt

Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #89 – Sep 4, 202 Empty forest – a silent tree falls.

Word Prompt – #Vista

Vista, a pleasing view of autumn. It is my favourite season because of all the colours it creates. The weather starts getting colder, but the leaves are more dazzling than before. For me they are beautiful, and nature uses its colour to litter the ground with glorious technicolour. Only to return in bud like formContinue reading “Word Prompt – #Vista”

Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

Nearly thirty years of marriage (the good, the bad and the everything in-between) were thrown out like they were rubbish. Pushed back inside, Martha tried to forget she had ever seen them. They screamed from their hiding place – cheat, cheat, cheat. You stand there and accept this affair. Are you not going to fightContinue reading “Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”

I struggled to garner enough strength to argue my side of the case, but to my surprise an elderly pirate pushed through the crowd. He looked like he was in his sixties; strange for a pirate. They rarely lived past forty. It was the diet of dry biscuits, and lack of vitamin C. Fruit wouldContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/04/fowc-with-fandango-garner/”

Word of the day Schism

I’ve been thinking about the noun schism, from The Word of the Day and it got me thinking about Beatie. She was in an advertisement in the eighties for British Telecom. Her grandson had failed most of his exams. The only two he had passed were pottery and Sociology. She told him if he hadContinue reading “Word of the day Schism”

Word of the Day Prompt – Schism

Harry’s crew were in a schism. Some, loyal to Harry whatever the cost, kept on working through the eye of the storm. Several pirates stared up at Harry, and were making their way up to the helm. ‘She’s bad luck, we need to throw her overboard,’ they said together. ‘Captain Red Beard, we demand youContinue reading “Word of the Day Prompt – Schism”
