In what way are you selfish? Youko was good for Mika. Yuri could tell that the moment her sister returned home from her first mission in the Makai.

Prompts 58-59
Prompt 58: What is the last thing (or one of the last things) you searched for on the internet? I believe it is a burden of all writers to have a bizarre internet search history. I admit, this prompt gave me a little anxiety when I realized I would have to open and review mine. … Continue reading Prompts 58-59
Prompt 57-Complete the Thought 3
Complete this thought: “Someone really needs to design a better…” “Oh no, I am NOT going through that thing,” Desi cried, her dark eyes widening in realization as she caught sight of the shimmering archway.

Week 12
So my poor blog post planning last week was due to some super secret plans I had for this weekend. My mom turned a half century and my sisters and I planned several surprises for the whole weekend.

Prompts 51-52
Prompt 51: What is a memory you would like to erase? An earlier prompt sparked a memory-erasure short story already, so I don’t want to do another one in that vein so soon. Instead I will wax philosophic about this one for a bit then do another short prompt. I have a slight fascination with … Continue reading Prompts 51-52
New format! Week 11 begins!
Alrighty ladies, gents, and enbies, I am back after my brief sojourn! What a difference a week off makes.

Now, though, I'm itching to … Continue reading New format! Week 11 begins!
