The heavy makeup mask could not hide the bedraggled woman’s night of risqué activity. Her reputation had routinely fallen by observers of table dancing caused by Absolut vodka.

I read the sign reading “Lease”. Excited to think we may have a home. Applied immediately and waited patiently for the owners’ reply. Meanwhile my husband continued his stints in the Reserves. I maintained my job at the Veterans help center. We were saddened to receive a crisp email declaring us unfit for the lease arrangement.

Blogging here for a few years, I think of people who I miss very much. Curiosity has stirred me to research where they are now and if they are okay. Some well read bloggers have passed away and I’m sure we all miss them as well. Farewells are sometimes heart breaking, but a sad fact of life. We are all here to enjoy each other’s work and miss the people who are no longer here.

The sound of the hounds in races to the fox flick a feeling of dread. That is a fox’s death song and so called heroes riding on a fast horses’ trip for slaughter is not my idea of entertainment. I wear a red hood in the forest so no hunter will shoot me and try to hide from the hunt. Suddenly I hear the fox’s whine and the brawl of dogs fighting over the prey.

Eighteen, future looms
Sadly sitting in her room
Dreams of her senior year
Happy as the prom drew near
Contemplating the college scholarship
When an injury happened, fierce confidence slips
The future bleak
Hopefulness she seeks.

Weekend Writing Prompt #411 – Fierce
Just do it is going through my mind. Yeah, all those slogans either help to motivate or claw at your ego. Ignore the heavy hitters over there lifting weights looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was young. Trying to meditate for a few minutes before lifting and reaching my goal.

Putting My Feet in the Dirt – 4-28-19
Donning her denim’s overalls for a day outside in the garden, Mary was excited to see what Mother Nature did with the seedlings she planted last week. Working in the city, these weekend trips back to the bucolic setting of her youth were heavenly.
Last week she planted some of her favorite vegetable seedlings, grown from seeds indoors the past few weeks. Mary’s hope was that a sturdy start would help them survive during her five day absence. To Mary’s surprise, they all seemed to be doing well until she came upon one odd sight, the eggplant sprouts. They were larger than any of the other vegetables and quite peculiar in appearance. She decided the seeds must have been particularly healthy and went on gardening.
The next weekend Mary returned to find many plants had taken hold well and she was very happy until she spotted large purple blobs taking over the corn plants. The eggplants were almost frighteningly large. The vine seemed to be strangling the corn stalks. Corn plants were covered with them and their tops were looking dry, even malnourished.
Mary was shocked at these uneasy eggplant episodes and started to pull their vines away from the corn stalks.
Sadly to report, Mary’s body was found by investigating police when she had not shown up for her job in the city. “A bizarre sight” the forensics team observed as Mary seemed to have been strangled and partially consumed by vines emanating from the oversized eggplants. The coroners had never experienced a vanquish by vicious veggies before.
