Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #284 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Horizon
She’d forgiven everyone and emptied her home of all that gave it meaning.
She looked to the horizon, imagining a new life.
It would better, she told herself.
The custard tasted rich and creamy, silky on my lips, just how I liked it.
This ethereal date, however, was not to my standards.
I would have been interested to see where this was going, but my business phone’s shrill ring rattled me awake; alas, a wrong number from Las Vegas.

“Get out of my house, whoever you are!”
“But Grandma, it’s me, your granddaughter!”
“Right! If you were my granddaughter you would know I’m blind!”

What do you expect me to do? & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Lovers
“We’re lovers, not fighters!”
“War is at the doorstep. What do you expect me to do?“
“Don’t let them in.”
The front of the line is appealling to those at the back of it.
But they’ll stand there for hours, days to have their voices heard.
Maybe they’ll freeze, possibly melt with fever later, but it is their duty.
Birth gives individuals lives of possibilities.
Existences rife with purpose and motion.
Living will be the death of us.
The saying goes, “A bird in hand is worth two in a bush,” but when I look at the things in my drawers, I think quietly to myself, what I have is only junk.
If only I had a crystal ball to show me my future.
Ah, it would probably only shit in my hand as that bird would.

“August! You better get down here!”
“Why won’t you listen to me?”
“You sure are a cheeky monkey!”
