Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

It is a “given”, the state of perpetual war, but we cannot seem to accept that fact. Our ancestors in caves were no different. Fighting and warring continue since man first walked on the planet. Environments, tasks, foods, homes, all may be completely different, and maybe it’s the survival instinct that causes turmoil. Like gangs who shouldn’t enter another gang’s turf, we fight to claim what we think is “ours”, especially what looks like ours, and acts like “ours”. Wars will always be here.

icy winter boughs

thinking childhood walks in woods

loving evergreen spikes

gather vines for scented wreaths

serenity in forests

Cyranny’s 1MinFic +

She was there, a place she hated, just to appease her husband’s mind. He sat there, silent, thinking this end of year appointment would obtain a rebate on his taxes. Of course that thinking was rubbish.
