https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/ The curvaceous oak tree’s limbs trembled, the snow dropping into the ground, joining its friends on the perfect blanket. My woollen gloves were soaked through, but I didn’t care. All I cared about was the joy in the moment. ‘Missed me!’ I yelled, moulding my snow. As I let go, it flew across theContinue reading “Word of the day challenge – Curvaceous”

Friday Forgiveness – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

‘Fred fought in the second world war; he deserves to feel safe,’ Thomas said. ‘I can’t tell you how scared I were at first, but with everyone’s help, especially yours Mrs W, I felt more confident to go out.’ ‘Is there anything else we need to discuss?’ Thomas asked. The room was silent, and ThomasContinue reading “Friday Forgiveness – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

Fandango – Word of the day prompt – Coin – #FOWC

The flip of a coin into an open palm was all it took to make the decision. Just like the cool dude in Batman. That way it was fate that made the choice not her. She couldn’t look away, as it hovered in mid air, twirling, turning and finally tumbling to the floor. Heads, orContinue reading “Fandango – Word of the day prompt – Coin – #FOWC”

I couldn’t stop watching as it was covered in batter. As it lowered intoContinue reading “Word Prompt – Friable”

Thursday Trust – A snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

‘Now to the broken bulbs in our streetlights. Since my conversation with the mayor, he has agreed to fix them. It took a lot of persuading, but he saw our viewpoint about crime and insurance premiums doubling.’ ‘Well done Thomas, how did you manage that?’ Mrs Stoddart said. ‘I wrote a letter to the goodContinue reading “Thursday Trust – A snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”

Fandango’s one word challenge – real

I enjoy being part of a writing group because it keeps my writing real. I can look at something I have written, and think there is nothing I want to change. Every two weeks a couple of us send in their prose, poetry, or parts of their novel. When you are brave enough to sendContinue reading “Fandango’s one word challenge – real”

Wednesday Worth – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again

Her throat was a little dry, Martha drank her juice in one. When Thomas came over, she took a step back against the mantlepiece. The sharp edges of the crystal vase caught her skin. ‘Martha, it’s getting late, I must start the meeting,’ Thomas said. ‘If you’ve no objections Thomas, Martha can sit next toContinue reading “Wednesday Worth – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”
