https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/cyranny/ gave us this prompt today. The word is Stylish.

https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/talesfromthemindofkristian/ has suggested salacious for his prompt. The salacious sea swerved around the little boat, surrounding it in a gentle embrace. Sun basked clouds spread their wings as if in flight. Today was a great day. To return home, surprise his wife, Sara. How much had his boy, James grown? The last time he sawContinue reading “Home”
Puddles
Impervious Impervious to the weather, Daisy rushed into the first puddle, her yellow, duck wellington boots. Cold water splashed like a waterfall across the wet pavement. Her dog, Zeus, ran on ahead. He loved the rain, and there was nothing like taking a walk to clear your mind. Zeus, a Dachshund, ran around in circles,Continue reading “Puddles”
Statement
Taking her notepad out of her top pocket, Detective Samson faced a young man, just old enough to drive. Whatever he had to tell her was going to be long winded. She needed to take a statement about what happened at the bus stop. An elderly lady stood behind them, her hands wrapped around herContinue reading “Statement”
Thinking Thin Thoughts
Slimming was a harsh mistress, and as she watched her colleagues devour a whole box of doughnuts, while she was nibbling at her apple, it was pure torture. Just one small piece of sugar, and it was only a few millimetres away. As they scattered back to their desks, she stared at the ringed, deliciousContinue reading “Thinking Thin Thoughts”
Oops
“Oops,’ I say, dropping my glasses on the floor yet again. It has been a long night, and perhaps, in hindsight that fifth glass of wine isn’t such a great idea.

“Delivery for Mrs and Mrs Penguin,” Steve Stork said, peering around the Mangrove. He had thought it strange they were in warmer climes, but then with climate change nothing was quite the same anymore. Perhaps he read the label wrong, but he checked it three times. Percy Penguin, two Jungle Parade, The Amazon. His wingsContinue reading “https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2022/02/07/delivery/”
For Word of the Day
The Word of The Day is PISMIRE. “The whole situation is a blooming pismire,” James said, his voice raised several octaves higher. This was the tenth meeting of the brewery’s budget for the next year and they were no further in saving any money. “I don’t hear you come up with anyway of being able toContinue reading “For Word of the Day”
