Carrot Ranch #FlashFiction Chellenge ‘Balloons’ #99Words

Balloons We love you. We miss you. At sunrise, all the children gathered in the playground to release their helium-filled balloons. Each carried a personalized message begging their classmate to come home. ‘How long will it take for Silvia to get the messages?’ Her best friend asked the teacher. ‘That’s hard to say,’ she replied, … Continue reading Carrot Ranch #FlashFiction Chellenge ‘Balloons’ #99Words →

#writephoto ‘Don’t Look Back’ #FlashFiction #100Words

I hear their moans and eerie cacophony, louring me towards the grey arches. Don’t look back! My heels speed along as I count the pavement tiles, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven… A few more steps.

#writephoto ‘Forever’ #FlashFiction

Forever It’s the perfect place and time, sunless, solitary, and silent. We’re shadows gliding over the lake, blowing ripples, before we dive into our last baptism.

#MondayBlogs ‘To Do Lists and To Be Lists’ #MondayMotivation

I’m a compulsive writer of ‘To do lists’. Before I leave my office, at school, every day, I check my notepad and cross out the things I’ve done which were on yesterday’s list and I add my new tasks for the following day.
