Susan had been waiting for this for what seemed like forever. The series finale of her TV show she had been watching for some time. It was going to be a bittersweet moment because part of her routine was going to be ending. Mind you, she would get the answers to the questions that I [...]

100 word story: Abandoned
Photo by Alex Fedorenko @ Unsplash There was a time when I was useful. I only had one family that owned me, and I felt like I belonged. They used to wash my pristine blue paintwork and till I shone. I travelled to so many destinations and was a loyal servant. How was I repaid? [...]
Photo challenge: Just a shell?
Photo credit Sarah Whiley The shells littered the shoreline, but one seemed to call me. I don’t know what it was about the tiny shell that got my attention. Maybe because it was almost the same colour as the sand it was lying on. I knelt down to get a better view of it and [...]

The day eventually came when we could finally plan going out a meeting with friends.So, that is exactly what we did. Arranged a girls' night out on the town as [...]
FFFC/WW: Gulping explained
“Can a fish dehydrate?” Daniel asked me.“Well, yes, of course they can.” I looked into the aquarium and pondered my answer. “We need water to survive, and so do they, but they breathe it and we can’t. If we tried to do that, we would drown. This happens to them when they are out of [...]
FFFC: The painting
Rose came running into the room holding a neatly wrapped package. “It’s here at last. My portrait… Well, our portrait.” She ripped the brown paper from the portrait and gazed at it for a moment in stunned silence.“Any good?” Philip asked without looking up from his magazine.“It think it has captured the essence of our [...]
