he knows what awaits him
but he does not resign himself to it
for he knows that is
ONE possibility

Three Line Tales, Week 191

The boys were having fun, jumping and trying to catch the ball.

It seemed like a normal game of catch to them, but their parents would have freaked out if they saw what was happening.

The ball was bouncing from and falling back to the sky before it could reach the boys.

Prompt: Three Line Tales, Week 191

In Other Words, peanut butter…

So this is where you hid the peanut butter huh?

If you can’t tell that I’m a parrot, then something is wrong with your eyes.

Who says anything about you owning me?

I say I’m a parrot, I didn’t say I am your parrot.

I’m just here for the loot – isn’t it obvious?

Weekend Writing Prompt #124 – Barter

I barter my heart for your love and we both profit.

(11 words)

If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.

The challenge is simple: each week you will be given an exact number of words you can use to write a poem or piece of prose.  You can use any format or style you like; go wherever your inspiration takes you.  The only rules are these:

• • your poem / prose must contain this week’s word.  The word does not have to count towards the exact word count total – it can be in the title, or the first letters of the lines of a poem can spell it out – you can be as creative as you want as long as it’s there somewhere.
  • the length of your poem / prose must match the number of words stated in this week’s challenge.  No more.  No less.

Twittering Tales #154 – 17 September 2019

Ashes to ashes

His great grandfather bought the luggage as a sale item.

His grandfather treated it as a tool of escape.

His father, a memento and him, history.

Sadly, with his son, it was a piece of junk. And when he is gone, his grandson will treat it as a sale item in a garage sale.

Dust to dust.

How many of us are guilty of treating a piece of family treasure as junk? I know I did when I was young. And now, I regretted not taking care of some of these hand-me-downs…

If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.

About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a photo prompt. Your mission, if you choose to accept the challenge, is to tell a story in 280 characters or less. When you write your tale, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. This is important as I have noticed that some of the ping backs have not been working. If you would prefer to post your tale in the comments (some people have very specific blog themes but still want to participate), I am happy to post a link to your site when I post your tale in the Round Up.

Three Line Tales, Week 189

Little Gem

The little kitten, once abandoned and listless, began to regain its strength and playfulness under the care of its new owners.

It peeped out from the box, studying its prey with its unwavering gaze.

Pouncing onto the denim shorts of its new owner, it quickly climbed upwards until it was resting on the shoulders, not budging until it was ready to – it would not be denied!
