No Theme Thursday 10.10.24
“Wait!” she told her son. “The rain is going to stop and then you and I will go outside for a really big surprise!” Julie wanted her son to experience one of mother nature’s best features, a huge rainbow. He was only three years old and there very few rainbows in their area. He asked to go outside but she told him it was raining and they would go only when it stopped. He was impatiently waiting and she kept him away from the window, until the rainbow colors brightened. Outside, her son jumped up and down seeing the rainbow.
I am not mainly because I’ve been in the drivers seat.
Definitely the beach.
Scorching!

Get to Know You #38
She dreams
In greens
Laying there on
Soft mossy ground
The path taken
Through a mysterious door
A new direction of compass
Risk assumed
An odyssey…
A sweetness on her tongue
Tasting the cherished forest with
Magical trees
In her fairytale
She dreams to feel the green.

Poetics: Inspired by Album Cover Art
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
As Paul flicked through the letters, a small, handwritten envelope caught his attention and his heart began to thump. “Oh, my god, it’s from my mother! This can’t be good. Let’s see”. Paul ripped open the envelope and recognizes his mother’s handwriting.
“To my dearest favorite son, Paul. I know you’re not ready to hear this, my dear, but facts are facts. I went to the doctor on Monday for my regular check up. You know how I’m faithful for my check ups, and I’ve had the same doctor for 25 years! When I went in on Monday, he did his regular exam and we found out that I have to have—are you sitting down, dear? A tumor removed and major spinal infusion. Now don’t get yourself all upset, it will be easily removed and then I probably, maybe, possibly, might, be paralyzed. Of course it’s a remote possibility, but I have to make plans just in case something does go wrong. Naturally, you were the first person I thought of.”
Paul read the note, put it down on the table, and then went to the cupboard and pulled out the whiskey and a very large glass.
