PROMPT WORD: WEB
***
I was saying goodbye last evening to my family, on my patio, when my daughter suddenly looked up and said, oh that’s a beautiful web. What—over my head, over my door, a web? I am demented when it comes to spiders and webs and panicked, while they shown a light on this supposedly beautiful web. At the same time my next-door neighbor and a man came up near my patio and I said, “are you afraid of spiders, can you help me with this web? Unbelievably this man, a complete stranger, was a spider expert, and he explained that the web had been abandoned, and then went on to tell me what kind of spider it was that made that web. This is a true but definitely spooky spider story.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Killing Time
I am small, tiny actually, but very upset. It is too long in between my times to shine. The old guy always gets the photo ops, the fans, songs sung about him, champagne toasts, stories galore, and what about me? I am ignored! So it’s definitely time to end him. I’m planning this for Halloween, October 31st, so my crime will be covered up by celebrations of horror, and if a teeny weeny accident should occur resulting in the old man’s demise? Well, uh, pardon me, I have to wipe the smile off my face and get serious. I’ll only be able to celebrate the end of December, when all eyes will finally be on me, only me!

No Theme Thursday: 10.17.24
I need to have the knack
Never to talk back
To a chef of good repute
Dare I start to refute
His knavish choice of knapweed soup
With kneaded knawls in the bread
Added knackwurst which I dread
He hunts this fare, he’s a tracker
I think this proves the chef a knacker
Looks for cheaper meals, though knarry
Hoping restaurant costs don’t vary
Menus now all have this food
To complain would be rude.

Weekend Writing Prompt #386 – Teach
For the fifth year (oh my, can you believe it?!), I’m hosting 13 Days of Samhain, a Horror / Halloween writing prompt challenge. I’ve enjoyed it these past four years and I hope those who have joined in with it have too! (For those interested, you can find the previous years’ prompts here and here and here and here).
So, without further ado, here are the 13 prompts for 2024, with the first prompt beginning tomorrow, 20th October, and the last prompt, Day 13, falling on November 1st:
If you do decide to join in, I hope you have lots and lots of fun. Write whatever you wish, as long as it is inspired by that day’s prompt. Here’s a little graphic / badge for anyone who wants:
Am I joining in this year? I’m not sure yet, in all honesty. For the past three years, I’ve written a new Damon the Demon story, and I really, really, really want to write another. However, at the moment, I know I just don’t have the time. But we will see…Perhaps I will manage it…somehow…
13 Days of Samhain (volume v) – A Horror / Halloween Writing Prompt Challenge
It happened at midnight
The frightening sight
And it took all my might
To try not to look at the devilish delight.
It wasn’t just the horrid blight
Of the dark in the middle of the night
I was mesmerized by the site
On my computer screen all alight
The colors were way too bright
They were amazing even in spite
Of the laptop’s age–twenty years, quite
The devil appeared in all his right
Through the wild colors, there was no slight
In spectacle as I looked with fright
It was like I was cast in a spell of benight
But that wasn’t the worst this night
Before, I thought my room was airtight
But was suddenly surrounded by aplite
Unable to move myself from my plight
I couldn’t escape the devil’s might
And succumbed to his evil bedights
I never woke up from this, despite
All my efforts, I went down in the fight.
