• Lost and Alone

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lily  I knew this would be the last time I sat here.  It was the first time I had been here alone and I knew I couldn’t bear to ever be again.  Rick had been my soulmate, my everything, and my life would never be the same.  I blamed him for everything that had gone wrong in the last…

  • Driving Chaos

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  As I backed out of the driveway, I wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn’t been hit with so many tragedies all at once.  Would I be the proud owner of a baby bouncer and a battery powered vehicle?  Would I have two sons and a daughter like I had always…

  • The Kidnapping

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  I cracked my eyes open and knew the window was not mine.  The plants were not mine.  The bed I was lying on was not mine.  I had been hoping the events of the night before had been a strange dream, a nightmare even, but now I knew everything I remembered was…

  • Karma

  • Mutinous

    After too much scrutiny  The duck was on the edge of mutiny  Farm animals started to devise  Plans for an epic surprise  There might not be another opportunity

    At the school, there was new blood  Getting out of the teenage flood  Was harder than I knew  Especially being so new  Hoping my car wouldn’t get stuck in the mud 

  • Sailing

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  As the sailboat drifted aimlessly out to sea, I knew I would never see Robert again. He thought he knew enough about sailing for a short jaunt by himself.  He had never taken anyone’s advice to heart and did exactly what he wanted.  Knowing this, I still tried hard to stop him from sailing solo.  As…

  • The Bucket

    PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot  The large bucket had been sitting on top of the armoire for as long as I could remember.  My parents would never answer questions about why we had the bucket or what they had used it for.  I had to find out and I had to find out soon.  I knew I had to find out before…

  • Forbidden Fruit

    Cutting the watermelon  Turned me into a felon  My neighbor called the cops  They showed up wearing flip flops  And called me the Queen of Magellan
