Friday Fictioneers: Sometimes

PHOTO PROMPT © Stephen Baum get the InLinkz code I’ve been away from Friday Fictioneers for a while. Life has been crazy. Just finished up my first week at new job. (I survived!) And have a closing for my new house scheduled for next week. So I’m finally starting to feel like, okay, my life […]

MFTS: The Last Trumpet(?)

My second entry for Monday’s Finish the Story – sorry so long between entries but life and blogging and then life again has been a tad crazy. **** The crew of the Angel Flame received orders to head out. Now, at last, was the moment when God would come to deliver them all. The world […]

Z is for Zero Sum Game

My last post for the A-Z Challenge! It’s been real. 🙂 Eventually, I am going to have to get caught up on reading all the other posts. And sincere apologies for that. I’ve been struggling, especially toward the end, to try to be able to read – and really read and not just sort of […]

X is for Xanadu

All right, this is my true next to next to last post for A-Z Challenge. Apparently (you may not have known this, as apparently I’d “forgotten”) but apparently April has 30 days AND there is a letter between X and Z. That letter is Y, as in Why did I agree to write 26 posts […]

T is for The Cross

For today’s A-Z Challenge post, I’ve decided to write something a little different. Possible trigger warning due to non-graphic reference to a violent act. The Cross I nearly died. Only 13 years old, you left me for dead by the railroad tracks, where no one could hear my screams. How could you know I would […]

S – Still Here

Every night for a thousand years, I visited you alone in your cell. I was entranced by your beauty, black hair glistening on alabaster skin, the thin threads like gossamer cloth on your flesh I wanted to touch. My night time visit became a check-in. I could not believe it. Every time I walked by, […]

R – Ready or Not

Ready or Not So, there I was in bed, gazing up at the ceiling, so, so sad because my friends had forgotten my birthday. Suddenly, the house started moving. At first I thought it was an earthquake. I leapt up and ran to the window, staring out at bleak January light, and a crane bearing […]

Q is for Questions

Okay, I have GOT to stop saying “I’ll get caught up over the weekend” and write all my A-Z Challenge posts ahead of time. Especially when the weather is SO NICE out it would be like a mortal sin to waste it. Running behind again! Sorry the prose will probably be rushed but I’ve got […]
