Fandango’s Story Starter #258

Travel is rare for me today. Unless you count the hospital transport for doc appointments. Those are rare for me today also, thank goodness. The transport is free and the drivers are great, friendly and helpful. We are lucky to have this service. We need other free travel for handicapped people here in the city. Have a nice Sunday!👍🏻☺️

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS August 8, 2026

It was a rare lazy morning when Kate heard the drumming of the woodpeckers on the roof. The first time she heard the odd knocking she got her keys and placed the chain in place before opening the door. The country community had their fun telling stories of ghosts whispering and urged her to always beware of visitors to her remote home. Nervously humming while making her coffee, she decided the knocking was only a bird looking for his own breakfast.

Wordle 769

Joe loved the idea of a romantic fire, sitting by it with his friend on a chilly evening. The cabin did have a fireplace, but hadn’t been used in years. Charlie bragged he knew everything about building a good fire and proceeded to gather wood from the outbuilding. Putting big logs in the inside of the fireplace, no lighting would stay. The trouble came when he realized he needed kindling, so grabbed the axe and headed out to the woodpile. One chop and a wood chip flew into his face, thus needing a doctor for stitches immediately.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Prompt Word!

Walking on a summer day, the words of poets come to play. Probably the most repeated are William Shakespeare’s, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day”. I do not have his talent, but I do love the scenes of the season. This sky being piqued in the beautiful blue with clouds puffy and white floating here and there, as if just passing through to turn gray in a thunderstorm, also prevalent in summer. Seagulls streaking, looking for fish or scraps on the bridge, where you hear creaking underfoot as you walk the bleached planking. It’s summertime at the shore.

Instead of embracing our beautiful variety cornucopia, the government wants the same old white. The founding fathers came here with a varied history, wanting the freedom the “new world” would offer. Now, unfortunately times have changed.

SenHai Saturday #64

Number five:

I read the book “Project Hail Mary” and loved it. It was written by author Andy Weir, who also wrote “The Martian” so I knew it was going to be good. I’ll say this again, read the book! It’s so much better than the movie. “The Odyssey” is one movie I would love to see in the cinema. I’ve loved movies and films since childhood and this epic and how it’s filmed would be worth stripping my bank account!😂

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – August 6, 2026

“Hey! I brought the coffee and chips, but they didn’t have eyebrow pencils. Guess it’s not a football game tradition at the 7-11!” Joe slumped down in front of the tv, shoes kicked off and socks flown astray.
Sara was concentrating on homework. “This maths assignment isn’t bad for your first college requirement. I took this three years ago and passed, no problem!” Joe turned on the tv, seeing the Lamborghini ad, thinking, someday… maybe.

Can You Tell A Story In…

Her big brother full of brawn

He thought her a brat

Did not get along

But when stuck up in a tree

She called with a yelp

To climb back down

She needed help

Siblings love and fight, sometimes don’t agree

Except when needing help from a big brown tree.
