Six Sentence Stories – The Lie, Part 3
Jack moved slowly, painfully forward across the charred earth, sensing he was not alone; he could feel eyes trained upon him, watching his pathetic uneven progress. A sound – was that breathing behind him? a heartbeat? No…only the sound of his own blood pounding in his ears.

TToT – Best Day Ever and Bedtime
I don’t think I’ve ever posted a TToT quite this late in the weekend. I’ve been doing all the things this week and through the weekend and like this awesome camouflaged Rotten Cat, I’m pretty tired. I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. But I’m here and I’m doing it but it…

Six Sentence Stories – The Blizzard
“Sir, you can return when we re-open the warming shelter this evening.” She knew that he would not; turning him out into a blizzard was an act even the devil would find unthinkable. He squared his shoulders, willing the lump in is throat and the tears behind his eyes not to betray him. “I understand.”

TToT – The One With All the Snow
I know, I know. Everyone is tired of hearing about the snow. Believe me – I am, too. We got a lot – our official local report is 32 inches, but my back porch says more like 36. Guess we fall in the “locally heavier amounts” area. This was taken around 1:30 PM… And here’s just…

Today Kidzilla makes her guest post writing debut on the blog. I asked her to help me out with the prompt for this week’s Finish the Sentence Friday post because I was stumped. She’s a budding little writer and, even better, she knows how to edit herself, which she did before she let me post…

TToT – The Never-Ending Cold
I still have a cold. I think this must be the cold from hell, brought on by the unbelievably inconsistent weather here – unseasonably mild, then sub-zero wind chills, then up into the 30s, then down to the teens, then up to nearly 60 degrees, then a plummet to the 20s. No wonder my head…

Six Sentence Stories – Change
“You’ve changed,” she said, her tone a mix of genuine surprise and certain confidence. The woman across from her smiled, confirming the sentiment. “The more time I spent with the person you were becoming, the more toxic this relationship became. Your words carved into my heart, leaving it bloody, raw, and a little less of itself than…

Six Sentence Stories: Scenes from a Convenience Store
I don’t come here nearly often enough to qualify for “regular” status, but I’ve been here enough to know how things work, that there is an order and a system to everything, and everyone knows their role. At this time of day, most people are here for a jump start to their day, ignoring everything that isn’t at…

TToT – Lights!
Time is really getting away from me this week. I definitely don’t like when it gets to be Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t done my TToT. So I’m thankful that I’m finally getting this done, even if it is a very weak effort. For this week, can I just say I’m thankful that we finally…
