Yada, yada, yada #RDP #amwriting

I woke up and ate breakfast. Not once did I worry. Even though I started to get ready, yada, yada, yada, I took my time. Ever since I got to work, yada, yada, yada. Dropping papers, yada, yada, yada… This too shall pass. Other than that, Monday is passing. Right now, I’m cheerful Even though … Continue reading "Yada, yada, yada #RDP #amwriting"

Mind Body Mantra

Don’t Disturb #flashfiction #RDP

(C) Pamela Schloesser Canepa Every day the magnificent creature would bask in a patch of sun by the creek as Fredericka passed by on her way home from school. The forest looked magical in this spot.

Lies Women (and Girls) are Told

Why do you feel this way? You feel this way because you chose to. You’re just giving me a guilt trip.  It’s wrong to try and give someone a guilt trip. You’re overreacting.

The Post Office Box, #shorttales #flashfiction

The Post Office Box, (c) 2016 by Pamela Schloesser Canepa Tussling with the dog. That was Jasmine’s story, this time. The scar would dissipate in a week, she knew. It did hurt. This was so unfair, yet, all too familiar. Driving to work, Jasmine noticed she’d inadvertently put on one navy blue shoe and one … Continue reading "The Post Office Box, #shorttales #flashfiction"
