word prompt – Page 40 – Tina Stewart Brakebill

This was it. The trail ended here. Back at grand-dad’s old place. Not sure how he managed it from his sick-bed but it was just like him. A final hunt. Pit us against each other. Bastard. He’s probably watching. From hell. Laughing.

Enough with the reminiscing. I needed to find that key. What was that last clue?

I won’t be foiled again. Mighty he may be but today the laughs on me.

I tried to calmly scan the basement. Foiled? Aluminum, maybe. No.

Then it hit me. A rare happy memory. Oil Can Harry!

“Coises!” I’m gonna be rich.

Heart’s Desire

November 27, 2018January 29, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

When all fear is lost

And your passion reigns as queen

The desired heart wins

This little piece was inspired by the fabulous photo provided by The Haunted Wordsmith

It made me think: What was she thinking as she looked over her shoulder? Was she considering what her life could be or could have been IF only she had been (or still was) brave enough to make a change?

And that idea connected with notions of winning and losing, courtesy of Ronovan Writes

Thanks to both. Check out their pages. Good stuff!!

Dark Moon

darkness floods my mind

then the moon fills the night sky

and calms the fury
