An object glintedContinue reading “Bob”

Writing

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I am most creative first thing in the morning. Before I go to my job, I engage in writing for half an hour.

April

Written for https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2024/04/07/sunday-confessionals-faces-of-april/ April makes me think of Bambi and the first time I went to the cinema.

A Signal

Written for https://obsoletechildhood.net/2024/04/03/answer-me-this-april-3-2024/ Do I believe in life on other planets?
