FF55 Dealers
Totally random picture: The neighbors are dealing. One night, coming home from work, my husband banged on the trunk and shined a flashlight in the car of a “customer”. “Do you know you’re parked in the wrong spot?” Furious jumping and furtive stashing proceeded the denial. “It’s a free country, isn’t it? We’ll only be a minute.” And still they don’t think they’ll get caught. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly […]
160 – Tribute
Totally random and somewhat old picture: Words are too appealing. They dance flamenco on the tongue singing sweetly in our ears of anything and everything. Words are too much fun in the mouth of the poet. Monkey Man hosts the 160 Character Challenge. See what you can write in 160 characters or less, spaces included.
Pencil Sharpening
Totally random picture. Check for email. Check for comments. Reply. Find the right music. No, not that. It has to be just right. Check again for comments. All right. Everything is ready. No more excuses. Time to write! Monkey Man hosts the 160 Character Challenge. See what you can write in 160 characters or less, spaces included.
TRP Dark Sunrise
Old picture. Taken a whole month and a half ago. If I tried to take it now, the mountains would show white.
Let it Rain
Tired of cowering, timid, in the corner waiting for a better time to brave the elements. A better time never seems to come. Tired of watching others laugh and dance rain or shine. No more will I search the skies and grab umbrellas before stepping out. I’m going to live either way, might as well get wet. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by […]
Intermission
I was hoping to have some more history posts from Mr. Al for you now, but he decided to write a novel for National Novel Writing Month, too. He’s got his research books piled up and his legal pad ready, but we’re going to extend his intermission until December. Sigh.
Reasons to Stay
The Whisperer came on the last day of her life. Too much left to do? Grand kids to fuss over, friends to mourn, kids to warn? Too bad. Time is up. It never ends anyway. Monkey Man hosts the 160 Character Challenge. See what you can write in 160 characters or less, spaces included.
Only You
Another totally random picture. “Do you love me?” “Yes.” “Really? Because it’s hard for me. I have to crack myself open when we kiss so that I will really be there for you. Only you understand me. Only you are worth doing this with. The rest of the world would only hurt me. Only you really listen.” “Huh? I missed that. Kidding! Ouch.” The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. […]
Soft Susurrations
(This is a somewhat random picture, but I’m counting it as a TRP) Her voice Ebbing and flowing like waves of a calm sea Marks the passing of a nap like the tick of a clock. She’s with friends in another room, Sharing the comfortable thoughts Of a social creature Until Silence. He sits up, fully awake. What is wrong? Her voice returns. Oh. A pause in the conversation. He rolls over and sleeps. The challenge, should you choose to […]

What Isn’t Said
(Totally Random Picture) She’s always doing that; saying something but not enough so we know what she really means. Always hinting of something deeper. But if you ask, she says it’s nothing.

Poll and TRP
Would you all mind weighing in on the current poll? It’s kind of time sensitive. And now for the Totally Random Pictures. These are my first two: I said in the comments of my last 365 that I’d be tossing these in now and then, sometimes with no relationship to what the post is about. I came back from a family bicycle ride to a beautiful sunset. I stayed home just long enough to grab my camera. Still, that was […]
