Since You’re Up….

Since I had to get up this morning at 5, get in the shower with eyes that refused to open, I thought, hey, might as well do laundry! See how exciting life can be when you live alone?

I could go off on a tangent here and tell you what an exciting morning I would LIKE to have, but no. This will have to do:

FFFAW #200 – Left Out Again

Watching from a distance, Johnny was excited to see their reaction. He could hardly contain his glee. He was finally going to get his revenge. One swift kick of the ball was all it would take.

Anticipation was making him sweat. Quit pussy-footing around, he thought. Yes, that’s it, gather closer so you’ll all be in on it. . .yes, get in there! Joe raised his foot behind him, ready to blast that ball once and for all. Suddenly Jack pushed him aside and kicked the ball.

Poof! Sticky nonremovable glitter covered everything within twenty feet! Johnny fell over laughing.

He finds release in his friendship with a lonely but gifted student, but the news of his lover’s pregnancy further complicates his already difficult life.

FOWC: Inane

I love prompts like this inane

Very easy on the brain

Nothing to lose or even gain

As long as it’s kept on the plain

Not deviating from the main.

Reading this may cause a pain

Maybe I should just explain:

Followers, readers I never feign

And my writing suffers deign

Tomorrow I’m sure to write again

I rarely vary from this grain

You may read it with disdain

Yet, still reading–are you insane?

Thank you all for reading my scribbles..it’s fun for me! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜Ž

“The Martian” by Andy Weir

“Today it was time to experiment with the panels”. Those were Jim’s last words. It was a lovely day in Chicago. I thought it was windy in Wyoming, but the stiff breeze off the icy lake was worse. Jim and I decided this area was an excellent choice to test the solar panels in a cloudy atmosphere. Our dream was to have even a cloudy day provide enough stored energy to house us warmly in this climate. The sunny days in Wyoming were great, but we needed to find other, not so enhanced but hopefully profitable, areas for our new panels.

Just as Jim was placing the last in a block of ten, a strong gust lifted him up into the air. Unfortunately, when I watched him fly away like the Silver Surfer, I realized our dreams were dashed.
