Monday Manhandling

"Right or wrong, it's very pleasant to break something from time to time. -Fedor Dostoevski

Sunday Funday

Well, at least it'd make a good white elephant gift....

Unpleasant Present

Why is my present wet?

Tuesday Prompt

"The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend." - Artistotle

Monday Monsters

(by Amelia, as posted on The Post-It Project)

Sunday Funday

She added one last thing to her Christmas list. It was a long shot, but she'd been pretty good this year....

Waiting

I sat at my father's desk, tapping a pencil along the edge like he used to. Ta-ta-ta-ta-click. That's when my life changed.

Tuesday Charm

"Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question." - Albert Camus

Monday Maffle*

"What are you doing here?"


* to cause to become confused or bewildered - from Worthless Word for the Day

Sunday Funday

It was an absolute disaster.

Friday Funkday

It was a simple lock. For such an intricate box--plated in gold, way heavier than its size indicated--the lock was far too simple. Like it was asking to be opened.

Snow

"What is snow?" she asked. I started to realize that running away into the city wasn't going to work so well with a new emigre out of south Florida. Or, as she put it, North Cuba.

Tuesday Prompt

Monday Misdirection

"I think someone must have tampered with my GPS."

Sunday Funday

"What did you do to my hair?"

Friday Funkday

"Anywhere?" I asked again. "You're sure about that?"

"I swear, if you go out with me, I'll take you anywhere."

Hm... this had possibilities.

The End of Saucy Saturday
