He appeared on pages that mattered, donated to the right charities, got invited to all prominent do’s. The PR was perfect, more than his business was. But all was not well in La-La land. Debts had been mounting. Financial institutions were not willing to lend any more. Then… newspapers flashed news of his suicide. The … Continue reading Worship

Desires - Lost or Found .... by Tina Stewart Brakebill
First in this week …..Couldn’t catch the clap…. by Jim Adams
Richard Surelock was a private detective who was very clumsy and he appeared to be a cross between Inspector Clouseau and Mr. Bean. He tried hard, but because of his bumbling and incompetent antics, he had never solved a case. He obtained the undesirable reputation of not being able to catch the clap in a whorehouse, but who wants to get that anyways.

Creativity is a blessing …. by VJ Knutson
The child embraces creativity without limits. I have memories of tucking between my bed and the wall, hidden from view, surrounded by materials for drawing, writing, and colouring. I kept the chaos at bay with my creative endeavours.
Life happened, and the pencils and crayons disappeared. Journals remained, but only for private. Mundanity and routine replaced imagination.
Then illness struck and with dis-ability came time, and that inner urge to create re-emerged. A true blessing.
(Reena’s Exploration Challenge this week is quotations related to writing, creativity, or writer’s block.)
“We take pride in the past, but are excited about the future. Here lies your key to leadership – build anticipation, ignite hopes – it is all in the air, unverifiable.” My mentor rambled on, failing to generate any excitement in me, “Doesn’t this fire you, my boy- the idea of ruling over minds and … Continue reading Up in the air
A search was on for people who disappeared in the storm. Eleven came together to check why the rescue teams were ignoring them. Only they did not realize that they were not alive any more. https://only100words.xyz/2019/08/01/three-line-tales-week-183/
I see a few curious glances darting in my direction, but they soon get busy with their game. I am seen as a stranger in this part of the state. I hope the caretakers do not suspect that I’m a kidnapper, as I stare at the kids unabashedly. They laugh at me, as I slide … Continue reading Back there
