Perplexed/Tale Weaver ~ Cursed

Erin stepped back from the easel; she finally got it right. She’d been trying for months to paint this. A transient, ephemeral vision. She knew she dreamed of it, but she couldn’t quite capture its essence, its shape. Something waited for her inside. But she had no clue what. She wanted to reach for it; something… “Hey love.” She startled. Faced Kyle. Smiled. “Hey you.” They kissed. “So? Ready…

Radical ~ Changes

Nobody recognizes her when she came back from her three month immersion in Europe. Where was the sweet, cute as a button girl who was in tears in front of the security check at the airport? Where were was the shy little thing who never rose her voice higher than a whisper? And where was the little angel with her long blond locks and her dimples? All gone. The change was radical. The three months…

100 Book Challenge ~ JRR Tolkien ~ The Lord of the Rings

Everybody knows Lord of the Rings (LOTR); it’s on all the must-read lists out there. I remember reading one day it’s the most read book after the Bible. I’ve already written about LOTR, notably here. I’m still starting with this one because it’s the book I’ve read the most (French and English): about 50 times since I first read it in 1995. There was a time I could write entire chapters from…

It was a shame that his x-ray vision was useless on himself because he hated tight spaces and would gladly avoid that chest X-ray. ©scolpron2016 ___________________________________________ Here are the prompt rules: Make a sentence with the word of the week.

100 Book Challenge ~ Teaser

So this past Thursday I posted the BBC list of 100 books to read before you die. Someone asked what timeline I intended to work with; since there were so many comments – thank you very much for that – you may not have seen my answer. The idea is to dedicate two weeks per book I have never read and posting a review about one I have read in between. So every Wednesday starting two days from now,…

View ~ The Maiden in the Tower

She had a beautiful view: well the room in which she spent most of her days did. And it was beautiful, gorgeous even. In the morning, from the East window, she could watch the sun rise over the mountains. She could admire the view, as the skies took a purple hue, then faded to pink and suddenly changed to yellows and oranges. It was a mesmerizing view. Truly. In the afternoon, she would rest on…

Sandwich ~ Old Habits...

Sandwich ~ Old Habits…

She pulled out the jar of mayonnaise from the fridge: she would make it herself one day, just not today. It was late already. She cut some of the fresh bread she’d purchased at the bakery, the smell of the crumb and the sounds of the crust cracking always putting a smile on her face. She sliced some tomatoes that she set on one side of the bread, putting away what she didn’t need for her own…

Juiced Genie ~ Unexpected Results

Juliet slammed the door, as she walked out. It wasn’t fair. Why couldn’t she do like other girls? Why were her parents so narrow-minded? She understood curfew; somehow. She hadn’t even fought about it. She was 16 years old and she knew that being outside past a certain time wasn’t safe. She got that. But throwing all her make-up in the garbage? She’d saved all her allowance for 3 months to be…

100 Books To Read Before You Die Challenge

So I’ve been tinkering with Pinterest lately – that’s what happens when you’re on sick leave and can’t concentrate long enough to do anything really productive – and I found a few lists of 100 books one should read before they die. I picked this one list just because it doesn’t separate series into multiple books (as in Harry Potter series has one spot instead of HP 1, HP 2…); I merely switched…

Twinkle ~ The Twinkle in Her Eyes

The twinkle in her eyes when she was up to something or when she shared a private joke with him. The twinkle in the stars that she loved so much she became an astronomer and which they watched together from the porch. The twinkle of her smile when she looked at him with so much love his heart could burst into thousands of twinkling grains of sand. The twinkle of the lights, too late too fast,…

It didn’t matter what anyone said, what they believed or not; the fact of the matter was that the end of the world was coming and she knew it. ©scolpron2016 ___________________________________________ Here are the prompt rules: Make a sentence with the word of the week.

Cake ~ Unhappy Birthday

She looked at the cake, as everyone wished her a happy birthday. Hands resting on her lap, she wondered. Would there be any more happy days? Birthday or no? She didn’t want to be here; every smile hurt. Each candle evoked the darkness she was living in. Each person present was a painful reminder that the one she wanted here more than anyone else wasn’t. She hated the cake, what it meant: one…

The Moon ~ Repressed

Brittany dropped her luggage casting a nervous glance around; the idea of sharing a dorm with another student was somewhat daunting. She liked… no she needed her own space. This was a nightmare. But this year her parents refused to pay for a studio; she was going to live with someone else and learn to share. She didn’t sharing as the problem; she didn’t think she had an issue with that. No it was…

Accumulate ~ Sorting

Entering the apartment was bittersweet. On the one hand Coleen wondered how someone could accumulate so many things – mostly useless – and not getting rid of some at one point in time. On the other, going through her aunt’s possessions was a clear indicator that she was no longer here. The pain of this would have been unbearable if Sabrina Williams hadn’t lived a full 103 years. She’d had a good…

Shiver ~ Helpless

He watched her shiver; if only he could help. But right now, there was nothing he could do. The fight was hers alone. It killed him to see her writhe, sweat and tremble but intervening wouldn’t achieve anything. She was in pain; and every moan felt like a knife in his gut. He shivered too; but not for the same reason. His was the failure; she was paying for his inability to see her distress, her…

Your/You're/Mistake ~ Reconsider

Your/You’re/Mistake ~ Reconsider

“You’re kidding. This has to be a mistake.” She looked up from where she was sitting on the hospital bed. The nurse was pushing some medication in the catheter in her hand. She placed her other hand over it: it itched. A lot. But at least there were sensations. She could feel it itched and hurt. Her husband sat by the bed, his fingers resting on her thigh, a comfort she needed. She was so…
