Hearts Trump Shadows
Bring your heart to the table. The world has become dark and mean because so many chose to leave theirs on the nightstand. Don’t put it on your sleeve. No one wants to see it there. Just bring it to your face when you’re out and about, and have it handy when we meet. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words.

Into the Breach Once More
I don’t always want for you to jump into the breach just because I pointed it out. Sometimes, I want to think out loud. Maybe, together, we can find a bridge or some other way around. But always, you must take action. My love, please reconsider. Before you risk your life for me, lets talk. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words.

Made in Russia
I always thought my air was re-breathed in the Amazon. Not so, I’ve heard. It’s Russia with the pristine forests lending their oxygen to my lungs. Even as I watch the forest fires decimate my woods, I have to wonder why my air isn’t Made in America. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words.

Theresa’s Chronicle – The Well of Light
He loves her. Each morning glistens like morning dew on the rose petals as she stumbles into the kitchen where coffee splashing into the cup warms his smile. She sets the toast to slow-burn and stops for a kiss that is never as quick as intended nor as long as either would like. When she heads out the door, his scent lingers giving her a Mona Lisa smile all day.
Yay, G-man is OK
G-man is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery now, but he said it would be a while before he’s ready to do another Fiction Friday 55. So, I’m thinking about doing a poetic thing on Fridays until he’s up to it again. I’d do it today, but I have company this weekend. Oh, and the owl picture is from the Graffiti Wall. Totally random.
A Random 13
1. I’m late with this post and have no good ideas for it and don’t feel like talking about my perpetually cluttered desk, so I’m going with the Off-the-top-of-my-head thing. 2. Why is it that my head is full of thought most of the time, but when I try to gab on to something specific it slips away like oily water? 3. Does that mean I’m dirty minded? 4. They say you reflect your environment. 5. Maybe, if I want […]
13 Words
A while back the kids and I played a game in which I would find a word in the dictionary and they would try to define it. Not only did they impress the whole family with their vocabulary, we all learned a few more words, and what they learned stuck. 1. Dirge (This one actually came up on a test over a year later, and was remembered from the game. It was an English class, rather than Music, though.) 2. […]
Time
This is from three months ago. I feel like it’s too old to be posting, but that wasn’t really so long ago. It’s just that I haven’t been taking too many pictures lately. Not since it started looking like this I went out a couple of times when it looked all magical and fluffy, but it just came out looking white on the screen. I’m just not cutting it with my little point and shoot. Anyway, I hope you all […]
55 – Pretty as a Sunset.
He waits on the edge of the scenic overlook, thinking about how beautiful she is in the fading light. Glorious sunset spread out in gold, red, and purple over the spilled jeweler’s box of city lights. When the last ray gives way to the false light He can begin his night.

55 – He Changed
Lately he has appeared stricken to me, as though impenetrably sad or angry. No more the happy, youthful curve of cheek, the strength in the glint of his eye. I walk on needles and pins, trying for the joy once so abundant, then realize, it is not anger that sags his face. It is age.
