Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
They’d only been apart for a week and Cliff already had a new woman hanging off his arm. Julie shrugged. She hoped the new woman would realize sooner than she did that he was a misogynistic bore.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Blushed
Kevin’s Magenta
He barreled through
His strength replete
The enemy bested
He made their defeat.
Soldiers, knights of the realm
Victory found in their helm
The righteous guardians won
Peace will show in morning sun.
Victorious he set another goal
Determined then to return whole
Hiding wounds secreted in his soul
Where battle fatigue took its toll
Always fighting, engaging that role.
Now he wants a peaceful time
Resting his armor by his side
After combat, war and strife
Time to start another life.

Joe answered the door, was distressed
Knew it was because of his guest
His cousin was rude
Caused neighbors dispute
Now the cousin is under arrest

MLMM Wordle – Wife’s Plea
“Don’t shut me out! Now it seems every day of our relationship as a couple, you try to push me away. You must think I’m not worthy of compassion, but I care for you deeply. How can we get back to where we first fell in love? What is one solitary thing I can do to make you less angry all the time? When we started out, our future together seemed bright, a copy of our parents’ lives, but now you seem unsettled. I fear you might take wing and leave me. What can I do?
