Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: HE COULDN’T BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS DUMPING HIM JUST BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT…he liked liver and onions! He grew up on a ranch and besides beef steak, calves’ liver was weekly fare. Now chicken liver was an altogether disgusting prospect…he was a cowboy! His lifelong tradition would be the dissolution of their relationship since the entire idea of organ meat disgusted the vegetarian.

Dashed Hopes

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Stretching my personal imagination I may observe an earthly pink dusty mountain similar to a Mars landscape. The opposite of an engineer, I might explore the fourth planet from the sun as a possibility, a glimmer of hope for future generations. The unlikely idea of inhabiting the red planet may captivate my mind but I think I will not find any green men. (Sigh)

Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
This can’t be it, he thought, there’s no way have I spent my life searching for an ultimate being, a ruler of all things! My quest ends here and my disappointment is overwhelming. Joe had followed the trails as spoken and written by the wisest spiritual men on earth. He had spent years traveling and searching only to find this? Human heads? He turned and walked out of the heralded space. He decided there was no superior entity or wanted hope to be found.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The best revenge film: (IMO)
John Wick (2014)
wanted to leave his past as an assassin behind and grow old with his wife. She dies of cancer, she leaves behind a beagle puppy to help him grieve. Thugs break into his house, kill the puppy, his hope is snuffed out, and his rage takes over, setting a bullet-riddled path to avenge his lost friend in a world that wouldn’t leave him alone.

2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge 27

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Prompt: Write a resolution poem

***

Years of contemplation

Hours of rumination

What now would be the good

Wondering if I should

Contact in a letter

Or a cel phone even better

Worries might be over and done

Regrets or answers, either one

Would be better than the mystery

What caused the troubled history

Deciding to take the chance

Try the shuffling guilty dance

Forgiveness might be found

Relationship would be re-bound.
