The Light
Milly was cold, so cold. Her daughters were fussing around her room, pulling up her blankets, arranging flowers, tidying the nightstand. They were such good girls, all three of them. They’d fought like cats and dogs as children, but they loved each other just as fiercely. And they loved her fiercely as well, she suddenly…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…

Perspective Matters (Eclectic Corner #12.2)
It’s all about how You see the world, whether up Or down, it matters… For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective Written. Justine gave us free reign to write whatever we wish, so I went with a teeny tiny haiku. And this photo is going into Lucile’s Photo 101 Rehab Clinic, it joins the photos…

Lifeless (Dark Side Thursday)
They’d been talking for almost thirty minutes. Coming from opposite sides of the city, they often chatted at this time of the evening, driving to their respective homes.

As I walked back into the old house, the memories just came flooding back. What a horrifying time that had been. I remember I was about five when it started happening. Things were never where I’d put them and sometimes I swear my dolls moved – I could see a movement out of the corner of…

Ended (Dark Side Thursday)
For Andy Townend’s Dark Side Thursday. Andy has provided an outlet for our dark sides. I wrote this a few weeks ago (on a plane, of course!) but I thought it was too dark to share. I haven’t ever written anything like it. I would usually put this summary at the bottom of my post…

Separation Binds
The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction. It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…

Waiting til Goodbye
You say I’m crazy, ’cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done, but when I call you baby, I know I’m not the only one. I’ve been waiting for you. For hours. I don’t know why I do it. You make me feel worthless. Except for those brief hours that we spend together, those…
