It’s that time again. After several days of doing more reading than writing, it is time to get the fingers (and brain) working again. What better way to start than with this weeks 100 word challenge. Enjoy! Mary thought she could do it. No she KNEW she could. After all, it was in her blood. […]
Having been silent for a few days now (partially because the electricity went out when that hellion Irene wandered through), it is now time to write something new. What better than the newest 100 word challenge. This weeks prompt: …the alarm went off… I lived my life with blinded eyes. My ears did not hear. The world […]
