    Kitt, It was the advantage of having the whole story complete before posting. The beta and editor could see the whole story at one time and make the suggestions to fill in gaps, correct syntax, and make the story better. I am eternally grateful to both of them. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy it.

    Yeah, life can sometimes just run in stretches like that. There are a few things that are surprises and I hope you will enjoy my story.

    No Avid you will find out about Peter. He is the one that makes Frank decide to live like a monk.

    Chapter 1

    Last Christmas Frank pulled his hat down low over his ears, slipped on his gloves, and made his way out into the cold autumn wind. The wind had picked up the leaves and swirled them into flowing masses of slick brown, orange, and red waves that eventually began to stick together as the freezing November rain came pouring down. He moved slowly, his limp barely visible as he climbed into his battered old truck and started the engine. He sat, letting the truck engine warm up before he turned the
  8. The last year was a disaster for Frank. He lost both his parents and then his brother. His sister-in-law had to move to keep the kids and herself functioning. To top it off Frank had an accident and while he healed he will never be the same again. A year later, he no longer works as a personal trainer but owns his own shop where he sells ceramic and hand carved items. Then out of nowhere, Chris shows up. What changes will Chris bring and will it be a repeat of last Christmas?
  9. Thank you Mann. Just figured it was my turn to get some prompts out there. So far so good. Been a prompt a week. lol
  10. Well I taught in a Catholic school and while not married have seen this sort of thing. It wasn't all that hard to create. Sometimes life just makes it easy to pull these sort of tales out. Besides, I don't like to be like anyone else with a story.
  11. Thanks Kitt. I know usually the stories focus on the problems or the joys, but sometimes it is the lulls between such that mean so much.
  12. “I’ll give him honey, it is only a few.” Peter wiped off his brow as he removed yet another loaf of bread from the oven. The kitchen looked like a bomb had gone off. He had been baking nearly non-stop for the past few hours. There were four loaves of banana chocolate chip bread, three loaves cranberry cinnamon bread, and he had just removed three loaves of lemon blueberry bread. He was exhausted and hot. Peter turned the oven off and waited for the bread to cool enough to move it onto a coolin
  13. That was really sweet. I liked how you handled the prompt for this.
  14. Thank you. Sometimes you just need a slice of life. No big issues or problems. I like to relax in my writing of the prompts.
  15. “I think I finally have the answer.” Tony stood in the doorway biting on the eraser of his pencil. Tom looked up from the bed and smiled. “Okay, so what is the answer?” Tony padded across the floor and put his homework down before his dad. “I think it is five.” Tom patted the bed and began to look over the long math problem. The answer was six but he needed to see where Tony had gone astray if he was going to help him. “Alright let me check it over.” Tony curled up alongside his dad and w
  16. Hmm. Sexy. Okay, I'm hooked. Where is the rest of it?
  17. Ron, I wish you luck. Writing sometimes seems to be a breeze and at other times the words themselves fight me every step of the way. There are times I find barely a mistake, and others I wonder if a four year old sat in front of the computer and pounded out the crap I find, even though I know I am the only one on my computer. I think all any writer can do is write, rewrite, and rewrite again. Sometimes it gets easier, but not always. Trust me there is a world of difference between writing fiction where everything must come from your own imagination and writing a piece that is researched and you just have to make it fit together.

    Looks good Billy. Glad I could be of help.

    The Devil's Deal

    Wow. My choice of demons, huh. lol. Seems you have an interesting start here Kitt. Would love to see where you plan to take it.
  20. Well the ideas for the prompts are always story ideas for myself first. Yeah, I corrected the story by putting up the corrected. I hate it when I accidentally put up the wrong one. I write a story, leave the original alone, copy it so I can correct it. The I usually go back and delete the original once I know I have it the way I want it. Goofed it this time. Oh well. So is life.
  21. And like I said in the interview Mann, the story is complete.
  22. I accidentally posted the first draft. I had to repost so that I had the second go over and fixed the errors. Sorry about that Ron. People shouldn't have those issues after this.
  23. The Daily Horoscope The day had been one of massive upheavals and changes so far. It was the sort of day you just want to end, hopefully with a hot bath, a glass of wine, and a nice meal so you can forget it all. However, my day was only really getting going and it wasn’t even lunch time yet. “Randy, Christ, you look like hell.” “Thank you, Tina. You always know exactly what to say.” I barely put my bag down before Tina was all over me. “What is wrong?” “Nothing.” “Bullshit. Rand, you nev
  24. Not married but been to many. The best was a close friend. Her and her hubby to be grabbed the wedding party, rented a bus, went to a casino and hung out. Food, drinks, shopping. The gays stayed with the bride while hubby had a few of his friends gamble. It was a week before the wedding and a last chance to meet and relax before the very beautiful wedding day.
  25. Okay so I am late posting but at least you got your card on time. Happy (Belated) Birthday Cassie!
