‘Enjoying yourself?’ Concentrating on one of her, Laura said, ‘it’s cool.’ ‘Steve’s parties usually are. Do you want another drink?’ ‘Why not,’ Laura said, and waved her empty glass in the air. Julie disappeared into the crowd of people. Not sure of how to act, she turned to her right. A man, about eighteen yearsContinue reading “Thursday Taster – A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/18/fowc-with-fandango-awry/ https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/ Awry and Figure It could have been dehydration, but Bethany could have sworn it said thank you before swimming away from the boat. To figure out what to do next, without water, or food to keep her alive, swoops around her head like an out of control fledgling learning to fly. Her dream,Continue reading “Fandango and Word of the Day Prompts”

Wednesday Waters – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

June 2004 Julie stood in the shadows. ‘You coming?’ Laura leant out of the window. ‘Don’t be so loud, Father is out for the count, but you might wake the neighbours.’  A packet of menthol cigarettes grabbed from her draw, she put her pillows down the middle of the bed, stepped back, and hoped inContinue reading “Wednesday Waters – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

Daily Word Prompt – Hone

https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2021/08/18/your-daily-word-prompt-hone-ydwordprompt-august-18-2021/ For the first few days I drift out to sea with nothing more than berries and a canteen of water to tide me over.

You go out without a mask, and it feels weird not to put one on. I’m fully vaccinated,Continue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/11/fandangos-provocative-question-130/”

Tuesday Trust – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

As they hugged, Martha looked out of the front room window. Curtains fully open, the sun had nearly reached its peak.  She arrived home at exactly twelve o’clock. Martha carefully placed her presents alongside her diary, teddy, and some homemade cards, which were made by Laura when she was just six, inside her underwear drawer.Continue reading “Tuesday Trust – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

Had they always been there? I wasn’t sure. I stopped at the edge, stared back at the way I had travelled. Blackness descended early tonight. In its effort to portend, predict, and show my future.
