DRINK ME

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Drink Me was her—admittedly, completely unoriginal—first thought.  But really what else does one think when one sees a tiny door. If reading had taught her anything it was that tiny doors lead to magical places full of lovely flowers and great adventures. Intent on finding the beautiful bottle that she knew MUST be nearby, she didn’t see the bark begin to ripple. Sadly, little Allie had forgotten another important lesson about magical doors: they often have guards. Before she could even think “what a curious feeling,” she felt its arms around her. Now it’s her turn to wait.

This piece was inspired by this piece of art (provided by bookplaces Museum Writing challenge) and the following quote (offered by Reena’s Xploration challenge). Visit their sites and read some other inspired works.

“I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities.”

– Mario Testino

Next Door Neighbors

Tina Stewart Brakebill

“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.
