Mary saw it in a dream. A perfect scene, with all the elements she loved. It was only a dream, the same one every night, of a meeting. She would be sitting there by the tree, autumn leaves falling around her, cozy blanket to perch on and another for warmth.

Mary would wait there until the blackness rose above the sunset and the chill made her leave. An unrealized dream of every sunset, waiting for him to appear over the horizon and be with her once again.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — March 15th

Betrayal with a sharpened tool

Playing her lover as a fool

She poses lovely, he then baited

Him, laying sleeping, and sated

Out of the strong came something sweet

But slashed easily while he sleeps

Beauty won the wicked test

No longer strong, now he rests.

W3 Prompt #98: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 03/12/2024

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Jessica knew she finally had to confront her fears. At least no one else was in sight to see if she flopped, literally flopped off the surf board. She stepped into the salt water and laid down on the board. She paddled out just a little ways and tried sitting up and then standing on the small piece of fiberglass. It was slippery but she could stand! So excited, she practiced a while more and then thought she was ready to try it in public in the morning.

I woke up with 3/4 of my head aching badly. I think I have an infected tooth. I called the dentist, no call back, called my GP and seeing him in an hour. Opened the blinds to see blowing snow and this on app:

My daughter is busy getting a soccer-family -potluck organized happening tonight with little help and leaving tomorrow for the first soccer tournament if the roads are clear, so today is the day to get to an appointment.

She is my go to and will take me to the doc. She’s one of those “if you want something done ask a busy person” people. I am so lucky to have a supportive family. Getting the old wheelchair and me in and out of the car in a blizzard is no fun but we joke and laugh through it. A sense of humor rules!

I hope your day is a good one☺️

I’m choosing Pi, and the pi I love best is my 17 year old granddaughter L who’s nickname is Pi shortened from the sweetie pie when she was little. She’s an amazing young woman in every way and very deserving of respect and love. Oh and she is beautiful too♥️

Two other pies I love are rhubarb and lemon meringue 🥧

I love listening to or reading books in most genres. Usually after reading a serious/sad book I like to read a different type that has humor in addition to a good story. In audible form, the narrator is key to introduce characters and Ray Porter is my first choice.

My favorite fictional hero is Joe Ledger and I’ve listened with Audible to many books featuring this character. He appears firstly here by Jonathan Maberry. I’ve read all of the Joe Ledger books repeatedly. I like Maberry’s style of writing and read many of his other series. I featured “Mars One” here on the blog as one I liked in his sci-fi genre.
