Written for https://weeklyprompts.com/2025/06/28/weekly-prompts-the-one-day-prompt-14/ ‘One day at a time, each hour counts,’ Mary thought to herself. Strange to be walking through streets without laws. Crowds pushed past each other, plastic bags mingled with an attempt to save the planet. Why didn’t they stop making them? Oceans would have been less polluted. She slipped inside Costa. TheContinue reading “Plastic”

Planet Wise
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2025/06/26/reenas-xploration-challenge-387/ Mary flicked over the battered pages of her travel journal, hoping to find a less worrying detail. Planet zero, where the air was breathable, was a pipe dream only the rich could afford. Some could pick the ideal period for a holiday. They spent billions just to experience one day without fear.Continue reading “Planet Wise”
Heat Stroke
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2025/06/25/one-liner-wednesday-how-hot-is-it/ Heatwave complaints; everyone living in Britain wishing for the sun, but not knowing how to deal with anything over thirty degrees.
Jumping
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ Walking on the moon; one giant leap and all that. Although it is more like jumping on the lunar surface because there little gravity there. We weigh less. Even better in space. We all remember the first occasion someone bounded on its dry surface. I wonder why we didn’t go back there?Continue reading “Jumping”
Best Friends
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ I met my bestie when I was twelve; going to the fair, sitting making daisy chains, or chatting about life, I found someone who understood me and never judged. When she was fifteen, her dad moved to America for his job as a pilot. Even with a whole ocean between us, ourContinue reading “Best Friends”
No Wake Up Call
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ I’m on a mission to retire one day where I will have more of a say about what I do each day that will make me smile. No alarm clock to wake me up with my coffee, an extra cup maybe I’ll buy another pup and go for longer walks. From sixteen,Continue reading “No Wake Up Call”
Cheap and Cheerful
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I am definitely not a snob in the coffee, tomato ketchup, or where I shop. Drinking decaffeinated, I purchased the own brand, and discovered it to be just as delicious as Nescafe. Heinze red sauce is so expensive, at nearly four pound for a small bottle. Does the low-cost version taste lessContinue reading “Cheap and Cheerful”
Silver St Christopher
Written for https://skepticskaddish.com/2025/06/18/w3-prompt-164-weave-written-weekly/ A silver Saint Christopher kept in my purse, a beautiful reminder like a wonderful verse his love remains. Red Roses in my garden his favourite flower a beautiful reminder in an honourable hour his love remains. I grow old without him, yet he is always around a beautiful reminder his love wasContinue reading “Silver St Christopher”
Tempting
Written for https://weeklyprompts.com/2025/06/21/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-tempting/ Tempting out words from our minds to flow like careful meanderings on to a blank page. Sometimes it is nothing but scrawl. What about the magic? Our mind untangles every journey until the character jumps out and, like Frankenstein, it is alive. Perfect? Never that, but another form of humanity. Ask themContinue reading “Tempting”
Patience
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2025/06/18/one-liner-wednesday-handy-trick/ Patience; seven months will hurry by. This week at work, they were asking for voluntary redundancies. I am planning to retire next year, and thought I would look into it. The amount isn’t enough, and I would spend most of it just in the cost of living. I am planning on retiringContinue reading “Patience”
