Prompt 102-Stress Relief
Periodically we have tension build up in our lives that requires a release of some kind. Some people cry; others punch; some find a creative outlet. What is your release?

June Special: Recurring Characters
I still can’t believe I’ve written from 100 prompts this year. Some have come easier than others, and I tend to make clear which ones I’ve preferred over the ones I’ve hated.

What do you mean, pup? The … Continue reading Prompt 82-Ancestors
Prompt 74-Offspring
How do you strive to be similar to, or different from, your parents? Mika scowled at her reflection in the tranquil pool of the Sanctuary. "I'm nothing like her," she snarled.

Prompt 60-Selfish
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. The tale that followed once they were safely away from her father’s ears would have made fine material for the romance novels Mika pretended to loathe. She … Continue reading Prompt 60-Selfish
