A combination of nerves and excitement and I couldn’t sleep. To try for a moment of peace before my journey, I left my bedroom and walked to the edge of the forest. I couldn’t go any further. If I did I would be taken into the void. The only way I could deal with thisContinue reading “For Fandango Word Challenge – Bethany Pirate in Training”

Poor – From Fandango’s Word Prompt
When I grew up, my parents weren’t poor, but we weren’t rich either. My dad and mum both worked hard. My dad worked in a glue factory, where they made extra strong glue. Good stuff if you wanted anything stuck. Mum worked as a school canteen lady. I didn’t like school dinners, and hated themContinue reading “Poor – From Fandango’s Word Prompt”

Choreography A choreography of Harry, crew and others fled to the side of the beach, and watched as their ship disappeared into a mist of misery. It was as if nothing had ever existed beyond that point. We all looked to my mother then, not even sure of what happened. She took my hand, andContinue reading “http://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/11/fowc-with-fandango-choreography/”
Word of the day – Disguised and Fandango – Prattle
Tired, she was disguised as someone who had all the answers. Women’s rights had made it possible for women to work, but there was still so much to do at home. The alarm went off in the morning, and after a heavy, hot, and humid night, all she wanted to do was go back toContinue reading “Word of the day – Disguised and Fandango – Prattle”
Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 6 September 2021, Word of the Day and the colour challenge blue.
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/ Obvious, Blue, Daylight I search the blue horizon for answers , as daylight fades away. The sun is setting in the east, and it is obvious to me we need to get off this beach. How did I know? It is obvious. My mother looks frightened of something, and is trying to stop meContinue reading “Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 6 September 2021, Word of the Day and the colour challenge blue.”
#RDP and #FOWC Word Prompts – Sustain and Lollygag
http://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/05/fowc-with-fandango-sustain/ Standing on the beach is our mother – she wraps her shawl around her body, and beckons us to shore. Harry recognises her too. ‘Anchor the ship,’ Harry says, looking at me for conformation. ‘It is our mother, and I don’t know how, but I’m home.’ I couldn’t sustain my calm exterior. Was itContinue reading “#RDP and #FOWC Word Prompts – Sustain and Lollygag”

The first thing I ask of my brother is to be a part of his crew, and that starts with a change of clothes. If we are to work together, I need to be a pirate in training. No longer am I Bethany, but Beth suits me better. I join him on the deck, dressedContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/09/01/fowc-with-fandango-ingrate/”

I search the ship for the others, who have been put to work. I watch them do all their tasks without complaint. When they are asked to do a job, they smile, and calmly walk away. There are several pirate’s, who are spooked by the dark clouds gathering in the distance. Those who believe, nowContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/08/31/fowc-with-fandango-macabre/”
Fandango and Word of the Day Challenges
Generate Excellence Not sure why I am left alone, I wander around the ship. My friends are confined to the galley, and I try to get close to let them know of my plan. I’m not sure they will agree. Mary will want me to go with them – she already treats me like aContinue reading “Fandango and Word of the Day Challenges”

I do not know why we remember now, only that if our father was alive he would explain everything.’ ‘But he is not alive, and I am captain of this ship,’ he says, with a little flick of his long red hair.
