Tired Prompts

Around here it looks a lot like spring which means I feel either super energized---or I’m tired. Luckily some GA members sent me prompt ideas so I can find a comfy spot to take a nap in the sun.

The Passive Character

The Passive Character Roller coasters can be a lot fun, can’t they? Hehehe!
