3TC – Oops!

***

The feline of the household twitched a whisker towards the sounds. Her master was not usually the type to show anger and Freddie wondered if she should quicken her exit of the room. In this case Freddie knew she was to blame. The grit from her litter box had strayed off the collecting mat. Sort of sneakily, Freddie moved to a safer spot under the table. Her master was kind, but this was her own fault.

MLMM Wordle #266

***

Being impartial was an eminent quality of the furtive Inspector Jones. He would remain noiseless in his pursuit of clues, and “listen to the scene” as he put it. In this particular case, dust of strewn glitter around the body was significant. Mr. Astaire had been murdered by his lover, a former jewel of society. The unnatural pose of the corpse gave the inspector his answer. He had been danced to death by his lover, Miss Charise.

What is it Worth?

What is the price you want to pay while enjoying a crowded festivity? Are you sold on the idea that not wearing a mask or keeping your distance is worth it? False claims with not one scruple in sight are fostering the continuation of this pandemic. Statistics don’t have an opinion, they are facts.

The Sunday Whirl

***

The stone path was icy but we trudged on. A red feather drifted by my warm breath; a few sparks from the pond-side fire must have startled a cardinal. We were usurpers, spread around fiery logs, bending to tie up our skates. The freezing snow scented air gave a clue to hidden creatures that an invasion of humans would soon come. Snow plopping down from pine bows framed an enchanted memory of younger days at this same pond. I was no legendary skater, but it was the nostalgic brew of a favorite season when my sisters and I took turns testing the hardness of the ice.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

***

Funny thing about a mirror—you can look at it, stare at it, unbelieving of what you see, but your mind decides what you see. Of course the mirror has no personality, it simply reflects you, whether you like it or not. We cannot usually look at ourselves and see our real self—we will always be prejudiced one way or another. Men will see a virile strong muscular body or the last night’s beer paunch. A woman will see a model of confidence or every wrinkle. The mirror cannot help you decide how you see yourself.

MLMM Saturday Mix

***

Jim pulled back the canvas flap on the tent to canvass the damage. They never expected the attack but now it was time for the next little guy to be born and there was no bourn of thought that he wouldn’t make it. The mother was strong; nothing was going to hold her back, as she had borne two of the triplets already.
