June Special: Coping Mechanism
Grief is weird. They say time heals all wounds, and to an extent, they’re not wrong. Bones mend, cuts scar, bruises fade. Even heartache lessens over time. But grief can strike when you least expect it, even decades after the loss. You wake to a brilliant sun in the most cerulean of skies, the emerald … Continue reading June Special: Coping Mechanism
Prompt 266-High School Reunion
Imagine you are at your next high school reunion. How do you think your old school friends would react to the person you are today? I was never really close with the people in my graduating class. The majority of my high school friends were either a grade above or a grade below me. That’s … Continue reading Prompt 266-High School Reunion
Prompt 265-Spring
What does spring look like in your neighborhood? Every year it is the same. The days grow longer, warmer, fuller. It is a gradual change and yet it is also sudden. One morning, there is snow, a white blanket covering the ground. You blink and it is gone, replaced with dark mud. You blink again … Continue reading Prompt 265-Spring
Prompt 257-Back To School
If you had the resources and extra time to go back to school, what would you like to study? Since graduating seven years ago, I’ve pondered this exact question a handful of times.

Prompt 243-Piercings
Do you have any piercings? Do you like them on other people? Does it matter where they are? I’ve had my ears pierced since I was a kid. I actually had to have them re-pierced once because they had closed up and I wanted to wear earrings again. It’s kind of funny because my right … Continue reading Prompt 243-Piercings
Sneezing & Coughing & Sniffles, Oh My!
Hello followers and new visitors alike! You may be asking yourself, "Why does this look like a Sunday update post instead of the daily prompt I signed up to read?" An excellent query, savvy reader! You see, last night I could not stop sneezing. Being that it's April in the northeast I assumed allergies and … Continue reading Sneezing & Coughing & Sniffles, Oh My!
Prompt 206-Odd Job
Write about the weirdest job you ever had. Fiona was used to strange requests in her line of work. Odd jobs were her specialty. Deliver a package here, send a message there, plant evidence on that person, it didn’t matter. Most of the mercs in the guild preferred the traditional gigs—the protection jobs, the assassination … Continue reading Prompt 206-Odd Job
Prompt 198-Advice
What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Not so much advice as inspiration, I once read something to the effect of “We’re all just making it up as we go. No one has it all figured out. Do what makes you happy.” I apply a lot of similar mantras to … Continue reading Prompt 198-Advice
