word prompt – Page 36 – Tina Stewart Brakebill

After five (5!!) really long days of moving, it feels good to take a short break, turn my back on the mess behind me, write a haiku, and read some blogs. So thanks for being here blogosphere! And special thanks to One Daily Prompt and fandango for the excellent inspirations (infatuation / reason).

The Tipi

Looky there! Do ya think someone’s sleeping in that wigwam thing?

It’s not a wigwam. It’s a tipi.

Tee Pee. Wig Wam. Pig Sty. Whatever.

Don’t whatever me. They’re not the same thing. Wigwams are curved. And they’re hard to move.

Who cares!

I do! People are too casual with facts these days. There’s no excuse for it.

Damn it Luke. It’s getting late. We need someplace to hole up. Not another Trump tirade. Let’s do this!

Alright! Let’s move…. But I’m right.

Whatever. … Sorry folks. We’re gonna need to commandeer this here wig wam.

Asshole.

Life’s been a bit crazed lately so it’s been awhile since I’ve written any flash fiction or contributed to Friday Fictioneers. So thanks to Rochelle for providing the great photo prompt and Haunted Wordsmith for the word prompt inspirations.

Thanks for the inspiration to Linda and her JusJoJan challenges!

And to No Facilities for the word prompt. I took some liberties and used “testify” as an idea (bearing witness) not the actual word.

Thanks also to Ronovan Writes for the words magic and man, which I morphed in to “we” (based on the assumption that man = human = we) because it sounded / felt like the right word.
