A Girl’s Night In

For https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/10/02/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-232/ and the word club. ‘Fancy a night out,’ Shelly’s friend said, ringing out the blue. Clubs, they were noisy, cluttered places, with a lot of drunk people. She would much rather be at home, reading a good book, watching a good film, or even running a hot bubble bath. Her friend needed herContinue reading “A Girl’s Night In”

The six-sentence prompt from https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/10/02/maestro-if-you-please-its-a-6/ is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOtuoHL45Y. They say music helps people, who suffer with Alzheimer’s to remember husbands, wives, or even children they have forgotten. Earphones, gently placed over her greying hair, I hoped this would help her relive something from her past. As always, she glanced at me with a vacant expression, inContinue reading “Mum”

Shopping

This week from https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2022/10/01/same-same-but-different-saturday-mix-1-october-2022/ is a word list, to create a prose, poem, or a story.

So, Titan,Continue reading “Remembering The Good Walks”

A Battle of Wills

Today, I’m writing for https://amanpan.blog/2022/09/27/moonwashed-weekly-prompt-thunderstorm-september-27-2022/. Dancing to an electric tune, the angry lightning ran across the purple sky in a bid to outrun the thunder. The argument, only half an hour before, and the pressure built within them. He flashed his whips, lighting up the sky with his wrath. All the while, the thunder rumbledContinue reading “A Battle of Wills”
