JJJ 28 – Congregate (Slight rant here)

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Congregate, ok I get it
I just wish they would
you know, all those elected persons
sitting ignoring jurisprudence
skewed and paid for at what price
they don’t even treat each other nice
so when are they going to do their job
instead of acting the first-grader mob remembering it’s for US they work
and stop acting like loud mouthed jerks

The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
The mouse penetrates the maze and the red glow appears on the monitor. The curious creature prowls ahead, slowly stepping and peeks around the corner. The hard edges seem to soften as the drip of the scientist’s new concoction enters the tiny one’s bloodstream. The mouse, however is not the frail animal to be treated crudely and takes an impetuous leap to the top of the maze structure. The scientist sighs, as once again he has underestimated the small mouse who is now staring back at his captor.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt – The USA

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
It seems to me these days turmoil is becoming the “norm”. Everyone is intentionally stirred up into frenzies and acts upon poor information, bad advice and overpowering political influence. This phenomena travels around like a sneaking predator, eagerly consuming even the most temperate minds. My personal opinion is this has increased since election 2016.

MLMM Saturday Mix

Your story starter for this week is:

  • “Damn it,” she thought, as the heel on her shoe snapped clean off…and these were her favorites! She thought woefully of the huge amount of money she spent on them, just to fit in. Fitting in was important in her office. It seemed every employee was ultimately dressed, probably spending half of their salary on appearance too. She liked her job, made friends there, but were they really, or just “dressing” themselves as such, just like her.

JJJ 27/SoCS

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 27th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “make the call.” Use it as an idiom or use it literally. Have fun!

Fighting a life insurance company is one of the reasons I chose frustrating for different prompt answer. Without going into detail I detest waiting on hold and being transferred to more than a couple of people and repeating details again. Making the call is always a dreaded event.

Writer’s Workshop

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Here are this week’s prompts:
Write a post inspired by the word reality.
Write a post in exactly 15 sentences.
Write about something you think people have forgotten how to do.
Write about a favorite childhood toy.
Tell us about a time you hid from something (or someone).
Talk about something you used to do “the hard way” and how you do it now.

Reality

Reality hit me hard a few times in my life. I have always loved fantasy and stretching my imagination, thinking it might have begun in strength while watching the opening of the Disney programs as a child. I have to admit the music and picture of that castle and shooting stars still gives me a feeling. Not a feel of reality surely, but in the back of m mind I still crave the perfect dream. I’m sure it’s no surprise my favorite character was Cinderella, oh I’m really opening up now admitting that😳. But as harsh as some reality has been, I am still a dreamer and love the idea/promise? Things can be better.
