Tuesday - Anything Possible - Finger Point Prompt - Invisable
The prompt is found by opening a book to a random page and, without looking, point to the page. The word or words closest to the pointing finger is the prompt. Today, I opened The Last Drive to page 205, and when I opened my eyes, the word invisible was nearest my finger. Invisible by John W.Howell © 2023 This may appear to be an implausible story made up in the mind of someone who clearly needs…

  The sound of coffee being produced by the AI that is the cursed machine brings a feeling of joy to the heart. It is coffee that seals the overall cozy feeling that life is worth living. Without coffee, a barren wasteland that is barely existence unfolds in front of even the most optimistic soul. Lucky for me, the machine decides to grant me one more day of bliss. Cup in hand and sip in mouth…

The temperature is below the blast furnace level, so an excellent opportunity exists to sit on the patio and enjoy the morning. Twiggy and Lucy decide to come with me to the outside. They are busy reading…

Thursday - A Little Personal - Twiggy and Tempeste in the Yard
“Why did Mom let us out in the yard?” “So we can run and play together. Besides, she picked up all the leaves.” “What is that fencing doing there?” “That is to keep you from eating leaves on the other side.” “How about a race.” “Okay, I’ll race you to the other fence.” “Hey, no fair. You are bigger and faster.” “Also heavier, I might point out.” “Okay, then I’ll race you back.” “Hey, I didn’t…

Stream of Consciousness Saturday - Prompt - Grate/Great
Reaching for the freshly brewed coffee, the cup catches on the small grate that supports it. The cup turns sideways, and all the beautiful, brain-soothing liquid pours onto the floor. “Great” is the only expletive that comes to mind. Now, the process must begin again. Sopping up the coffee as the machine goes about business, my brain turns to the clock. The cup is finished, and the spilled coffee…
