Saturday Centus
Fallen off the wagon again, but I’m getting right back on! This week’s prompt suggested this direction almost immediately. “Our fingers entwined like ribbons of light, the Galaxy’s power provides all our might! So let those who do evil flee … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Sunday edition)
Here we go! I looked at the ramshackle contraption as Pa put the finishing touches on it. He was ready to light the fuse. “Oh my God, you really think this thing’s gonna fly?!” “Simple physics, m’boy! The fuel burns, … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
I pretty straightforward prompt this week…let’s see what we can tease out of it. She crossed her arms. “Gimme a compliment, or I’m outta here.” “OK…uhhh…OK, here. Without you around, I sleep like a baby.” She grabbed her purse. “Nice … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Lemon Paczki edition)
I know, I’ve missed a few more since my new-found commitment to, well, not missing a few. Sorry! Anyhoo, here’s my take on this week’s prompt. By way of explanation, it helps for folks not from ’round here to know … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Sunday edition)

Saturday Centus (depressing edition)
I apologize for the somber tone of my entry for this week, but I think that the dominant event of the day is pretty self-explanatory. On the thirteenth day of Christmas, my parents gave to me thirteen lilies for my … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (Tuesday Edition)
Hurg. I put this off because it’s a Cute Picture Prompt, and those almost always screw me up. Anyway, here’s the pic: Yeesh. And we’re supposed to write in first person from the viewpoint of that squirrel. OK then…. Mr. … Continue reading
Saturday Centus (I missed a week edition)
In the wild throes of bringing my NaNoWriMo project to the finish line (or at least the appointed mile marker, since the finish line of the story isn’t even close yet), I filed last week’s Centus prompt away in my … Continue reading
Saturday Centus
Culinarily inspired this week, I think! “So this is a cook off for the inheritance? Is that what you’re saying?” Grandma was dead, and now her will stipulated that whoever won this, won everything. Including the responsibility of cooking Thanksgiving … Continue reading
