Biography

Life seems to pass by quickly and in the tender gray, I swim undisturbed. Everything around me is bright and colorful when I glimpse what my life used to be in fleeting colors. A child’s birthday party, a wedding reception, the birth of my first grandchild, graduation ceremonies, parties and holiday gatherings, are all lovely visions of life’s rainbow. Sitting by myself in the quiet, it is easy to remain in dull, colorless inactivity. Depression may set in temporarily as I wait for another visit or bright hued connection to the world outside my own.

Simply Six Minutes

I may never get out of this place. It’s been three days I know for sure, because I have the sun and moon coming in to determine the days. It was an adventure with Joe, always ready to attempt something wild or new for us. We had entered into this cave what must be several yards above me now and this exit is blocked. The slippery dank space we decided to investigate caused Joe to fall and he took a terrible bounce off loose rocks. I tried to get to him, and also fell. The loosened rocks caused an avalanche of the cave sides and ended up blocking our entrance above. My only rescue would be if one of Joe’s friends found us missing. I couldn’t ask Joe anything because he was lying near me, forever silent.

Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
“All set now, I’ll just put this right here handy, and done.” The innocent looking bath salts were an everyday treat for her mother and today would not be an exception. Julie made sure they were right where they always were placed so no suspicion was felt. The last few days finding an undetectable poison that enters through the skin involved endless searches at an Internet cafe computer, and then the purchase sent to a postal facility made it untraceable to her. She had planned well and hoped to be rid of the overbearing witch that very day. “Have you got that bath to the exact temperature yet? Did you add my salts?” The woman looked hatefully at her daughter and slipped into the tub. “Now get out!” Julie shut the door and smiled.

The walls in a foreign world, are numb with ashes burning while spilt flames cover broken houses. A momentary touch of peace only a small gap in the everyday routine of finding safety, food, or clean water. Tragedy has its own longing to satisfy, aided by powerful uncaring men. While people in safe lands gather around warm fire light exchanging luxurious gifts, small children wonder why their fathers have disappeared.
