The High Road

The High Road

This was my take on the six-sentence story prompt “Guide” for this week. I went with a take on a person who got someone they really disliked in the office secret santa, and what they chose to do about it. This one was based on my secret Santa at work, where I was really glad I didn’t get one specific person, and what I would have done if I got them. I wanted to let my conscience be my guide, but…

A Wish for Christmas

A Wish for Christmas

Ok, so I want to say this is happy, but I think that would be giving false expectations. Maybe sappy would be better, a little cliche Christmas story. It does have a happy ending, and it is not incredibly dark or imply anyone died, so I I liked it. That said, I made myself cry. The story of a Christmas wish tree, giving gifts to children who live in a cities group homes. Written for the prompt…

Reminiscence

This one was written for this week’s six sentence story prompt by girlontheedge, which was JUNK. I went with more of a nostalgia take on this one, trying to be a little more on the cheery side and am continuing my theme of holiday stories to round out the year. There was that old idiom, one man’s trash is another’s treasure, and at first glance this was junk. A lot of it was old, worn, stained,…

Katherine the Great

Controversial opinion, I know. Please note, I do not condone smoking in any way, shape, or…

Resolute

So this one was a little play on the New Years Resolution. There is always someone I know that is announcing “New Year, New Me” and I have this petty part of me that wants to write them all down and announce them later in the year, maybe at their Birthday or the following Christmas. I don’t, and I also don’t do resolutions, and this is about someone else trying to avoid the pressure to make…

A Zealous Missive

This was written for the six-sentence story prompt “express” on girlontheedge’s blog. I got stuck on the concept of expression, as in express one’s feelings, and ended up writing what would be considered epistolary fiction, on someone expressing their deeply hidden feelings for their boss. Dear Mr. Thomas, I am writing this letter to you to express the true depth of my feelings for you, which I…
