Traitor

Written for https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/07/31/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-rigid/ Rigid against my spine, the gun dug into my back. Tony, lost for words, follows me to the sofa,where we are both shoved down. ‘Barbie girl, knew I could rely on you.’ ‘As usual, it is up to me.’ ‘What about Richard? He okay?’ She smirks. ‘Got a bit of a headacheContinue reading “Traitor”

Hope

Written for https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2024/07/30/photo-challenge-526/ The soil shared its warmth with the tiny snippet of life. One, two three. A stealthy shoot, spreading lush leaves, relaxed into her own vibrant skin and sighed. Drips of rain battered the cold soil, as she whispered to the wind. Hundreds of years later, she stood proud in the garden. EachContinue reading “Hope”

Frightened

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ I rest here, watching the dusk rise and fall to my doubts. A dad to a little girl, and sometimes it is overwhelming to admit I struggle with finding the real me. Today isn’t the first time I have felt frightened. I yearn to give my daughter the moon, but that’s notContinue reading “Frightened”

New To This

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I would advise a new blogger to enjoy the experience of being around a community of writers. Steer clear of topics where you possess a strong opinion as our viewpoints will vary. Politics is one thing I won’t reveal. Even when you are dealing with family, you should exercise caution in orderContinue reading “New To This”

Stitch

Written for https://lindaghill.com/2024/07/26/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-july-27-2024/ A stitch in time saves nine, originally means if we sew up a small tear, it can prevent more work later. I suppose the same goes for saving cash, and when a big problem happens, you face it more easily. Although, sometimes life doesn’t go as planned, and when you think youContinue reading “Stitch”

Scandal

Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2024/07/25/reenas-xploration-challenge-340/ A gilded cage, studded with diamonds, and the bars made of gold, and she remained a prisoner of her own success. She put an end to reading the tabloids because they searched for the latest scandal. Sarah’s relationship stayed happy until the headline suggesting an affair with a co-star. Now suspicion sulkedContinue reading “Scandal”

Explode

Written for https://lindaghill.com/2024/07/24/one-liner-wednesday-why-did-my-chicken-explode/ When life explodes with stress; paint a picture, write a story, walk the dog, sing a song, go on an adventure, bake a cake, share time with (family, friends), binge watch a television show, and in that understanding we can believe we are going to be okay.

Perfect

Written for https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2024/07/23/photo-challenge-525/ A wooden bench, where she could share her worries. Somehow it was easier to converse with thin air, rather than family. She loved them, more than anything, but sometimes what frightened her the most felt overwhelming. She understood life wasn’t perfect, but it overtook the half glass full feeling. Scraping her shoesContinue reading “Perfect”
