Next Door Neighbors
“Why do you always think the worst of people? Maybe she had some leftover plants and she thought you might like them. Just a generous neighborly gesture.”
Are you really that stupid? Did you not see the pristine white water can? Or read her Next Door “suggestions” about how some people are not doing their part to “beautify” the neighborhood? It’s clearly a declaration of war.
But instead of saying any of those things, I agreed, “Of course, I’m sure you’re right dear. I’ll be sure to thank her.”
Nothing says thank you like a three-ton delivery of manure.

Thanks to Rochelle for another great Friday Fictioneers Prompt.
When I was young …
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
When I was young I thought we had this shit figured out.
The battle wasn’t over but we had admitted that women are autonomous human creatures … yada yada yada. Sadly, madly, infuriatingly, age has shown me that a whole bunch of people continue to define a woman only as a meat sack that surrounds a baby-making box.
Not just an opening sentence — an opening salvo …
white lightning
lightning strikes
a white hot flash
the dark sky briefly on fire
as two souls connect
lightning strikes
Thanks to the following challenges for the inspiration. Please visit them for more details and some great writing. (Please note, I did use SOUL instead of SPIRIT–I liked the way it sounded.
a harrowing tale unearthed
buried history
a harrowing tale of woe
carelessly unearthed
