Out of Reach
This was based on the Six-Sentence Story prompt “reserve” by girlontheedge. I am going to apologize now, because this is incredibly depressing, and unfortunately real world even though it is fiction. It is focused on Christmas and the growing realization that people are having that this isn’t going to be the joyous, pandemic free holiday that people have been expecting. I held my own opinions in…

Eye of the Beholder
Eye of the Beholder
This is my response to the six sentence word prompt of MUNDANE, by girlontheedge. We have returned to Faerie this week, where the fickle nature of the Fae is shown, when they choose to give Casey exactly what she wants. Poor Casey. When Casey stepped into the ring of mushrooms and demanded visitations, she crossed into another world where she had experienced wonders beyond compare; she seen the…

Forget-Me-Not
Sorry for the delay, I thought I had scheduled this for release….but apparently not. The response to this weeks six-sentence story prompt and a continuation of last weeks story, this was written for the word prompt of CANVAS. I worked it a few times, but it still isn’t quite what I wanted. Tell me what you think? She hadn’t lost hope, but it was starting to stretch a little, wear thin in places,…

Third Time, Not the Charm!
Third Time, Not the Charm!
The word of the week is STRIKE for the six-sentence story prompt by girlontheedge. This week we will see the story of Conrad, an ex-con with really bad luck, who agreed to take his cousin to the corner store, and has come to seriously regret this decision. It’s one of those, people see what they want kind of situations, and while I believe most of the “I was just there” defences are crap, some…

In Dreams
Today’s work is a challenge response to many challenges, and I think it turned out better than I expected overall. This is the story of a person who wants to get away from it all, and dreams about their ideal home. I don’t want to spoil it, but if you have read any of my other work, like usual, there is more than meets the eyes here. In my dreams I own a log cabin in the woods, secluded and…

Ctrl + Shift + C
Hello hello, the word of the week is PASTE, and I was inspired in large part by a program asking me if I wanted to retain all the information on the clipboard after it closed. Follow our narrator as she presses v and pastes something she doesn’t expect to see. It seemed ridiculous really that her marriage was over, due to a malfunctioning paste, or rather her missing the c key when performing…

High Expectations
Hello hello, and welcome to this week’s six, based on the word of the week LOUNGE. I took this to mean chaise lounge, and thought back to the classic cartoon therapist. Follow our narrator as they go to counselling for the first time, and well, you’ll have to read it to know more. Hope you enjoy! Sitting in the office, in a chair that was uncomfortably close to the person in front of me, I found…

Making the Magic Circle
Hello hello, and welcome to this week’s six-sentence story, written for the word of the week TENSION. I tool this one and used the crafting version of this word and came up with a bittersweet 6. Follow our narrator, as she attempts a craft for her daughter. Anymore than that would spoil it all… She stared down at the overworked piece of garbage in her sore hands, and was tempted to just give…

Null
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s response to the Girlontheedge’s prompt CONCEQUENCES. There are consequences to our actions and this week’s narrator was willing to face what was coming to them, and got quite the surprise. Follow our non-gender specific narrator, as they explain how they go to where they are today, and why they made the decisions that they did. You may want to check the tags…

Not Prince Charming...
This week’s six sentence story is inspired by the word of the week FORGE. At first I thought metal, blacksmithing, because I have done that, and then I went in a completely different direction, specifically forgery. Follow our narrator as they look for love, and have some interesting experiences with online dating. While it isn’t exactly fluff, this one is a lot lighter than my usual entries, so…

Final Destination
Today’s six sentence story is late, and if you read it, you will get an idea of why. Follow our narrator who is just trying to have something good happen today, when life seems to want to get in the way. This one is based on the word truck. If you had asked me this morning where I was going to end up, I can guarantee you one thing, and that is that this wouldn’t have been on my list, let…

Neon Dreaming
Hello Hello and Welcome to this week’s six-sentence story, based on the word CAROUSEL. I went about 16 dark places with this, and yes, apparently the word can inspire some pretty good horror, but instead I went to a slightly different place, well a dream really. It’s a bit odd, but for once no warnings apply, so I hope you enjoy! Sometimes when I am dreaming, there is a moment when I realise…

Who, me?
This week’s six sentence story is based on the word of the week YELLOWBELLY, which I managed to shoehorn into these six sentences twice. This one is about our narrator trying to talk their way out of a sticky situation, which is a complete misunderstanding and doing whatever it take to escape. I hope you enjoy, and that you get the reference inside. Also PRIDE MONTH STARTS TOMORROW!!! If you…

Capsules
Hello hello, the word of the week is BOX, and I have decided to use it to describe a time capsule. While we never did this at my school, I know a lot of schools, cities, etc., have done the whole-time capsule thing, and I decided to write about one. No warnings this week, just a sense of foreboding… She had no idea what she was going to say when they asked, that she had lied and buried it…

The Loss of an Idea
Hello hello, the word of the week is Toast, and I am writing this incredibly depressing little one shot based on that. I am back, after having written last week’s challenge, then not posting it…I will probably only post that one next month. This week is a bit dark, set at a funeral for someone who the narrator has conflicted feelings about. It’s rather sad, reader be warned. I stand here,…

Center of Attention
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story based on the word of the week SCALE. This one isn’t all it appears in the beginning and I want you all to llet me know when you get to the end, when in the story you figured it out. On a less fictional note, I have some pretty big commitments coming up, and so for the next few months I will be cutting down on my blog posts. The six…

Filling the Cup
Hello Hello, and welcome to this week’s six sentence story, based on the world cup. I know it’s a little late, but my usual Sunday night writing time was eaten by the 3-day novel contest, which I completed (barely) and I thoroughly enjoyed. This week’s story follows are narrator as they deal with a friendship which is taking more than they can give. I think it’s a happy ending, but kike all…

Do Not Pass Go...
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story, based on the word of the week MILK. I definitely wrote last week’s story, and completely forgot to post it. Sorry about that. Following along this week, with a supervisor that is not having the greatest day. There was a fine line between crying because it hurt and trying to milk it for all it was worth, and it was a line that Johnny…

Third Time's the Charm1
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six-sentence story based on the word of the week combination. My first thought was traits, then good and bad, then skin types, pizza flavours, and finally I settled on the combination to the vault. Follow our narrator as she makes and executes her plans in threes… If you liked it, tell me what you think. If you didn’t like it, tell me what rubbed you the…

Out of Balance
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six sentence story based on the word BALANCE. I missed last week’s trying to do too many things in too little time, but I am back this week, working on NaNoWriMo, and that includes writing ALL the words! Follow out narrator as they have a bad day serving breakfast. There is a balance to everything, except for her, she was entirely unbalanced, or clumsy,…
