We're at the end of another week and I hope that everyone had a great week so far. To help you start your weekend off on a good note, Comicfan has provided two new prompts to hopefully inspire you! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this week's prompts, so don't forget to share them in either the Prompt Forum or GA Stories. Just remember, if you post them in GA Stories, flash fiction under 1,000 words need to be part of a collection.

Prompt 338 – Creative
Tag – List of Words
Use the following in a story – pregnant woman, hammer, blue jock strap, yellow flowers, and an apple.

Prompt 339 – Creative
Tag – A World of Change
No one ever suspected the changes that would come to the world after such an epidemic. The original outbreaks occurred along the warmer waters. The whole thing spread from Georgia in the United States to Uruguay in South America, from Portugal in Europe to South Africa in Africa, and Southern China in Asia to the North parts of Australia, as quickly as it appeared there soon were deaths on grand scales. It took almost a third of the world’s total population in less than three months. It soon became like the history books about the black plague and people were bringing out their dead for massive cremations. It was only with the few scientists from all over the world sharing information that humanity survived and found a cure. In this new world borders aren’t what they once were. Life is looked at much differently now. What is the world like?

It's always hard to choose which prompt to feature from the week before. This week I decided to feature Cole Matthews prompt response to Prompt #336, enjoy:

Prompt 336 – The Cat Psychologist

 

“Oh God. This isn’t what it looks like!”

 

Nathan and Grant looked at the cats meowing at them with concern. Kong had peed on the big teddy bear Nathan won for his boyfriend at the fair, again. No amount of washing could deter the cat. They watched the two male cats as they gently licked each other contentedly pausing occasionally to mewl at them. Otherwise they seemed fine, but when it came to the peeing issue, something was obviously amiss. Both men looked over at the distinguished animal psychologist for answers.

 

“Nathan, Kong is obviously having issues with you moving in.” The silver haired man removed his glasses and smiled at them.

 

The two men had fallen in love but after Nathan stayed over for a few nights in a row, Grant’s two cats had become more and more unruly. Concerned at Kong’s sudden peeing on things, they’d called in noted animal psychologist Dr. Avis Montague for a consultation. Sure, it had been a lot of money, but they were genuinely worried about the animals’ behavior.

 

Grant nuzzled Nathan’s neck and ran his hand over the man’s balding, closely shorn head. It had been only six months but the man made him feel so good. Being around him was soothing. His heart ached when Nathan left the condo and he had to spend the night alone, but what could he do? Grant loved his cats so much. From his observations and experience, Kong and Dash weren’t comfortable with this new relationship. It was either the cats or Nathan.
