Woken by thunderstorm.... better than any coffee, let's tackle that paperwork....

I'm melting....I'm going to sleep in the garden, after I voted for next years's antho theme. Night, night.

I don't know if anyone of you read Red Running Shoes, if you did, you might remember this scene: ...Sox was wagging his tail as soon as he saw Ren standing in front of Lionel's. Whether it was because he was just happy seeing Ren again, or it was because of whatever Ren had in those two brown paper bags he was holding, I didn’t know. "Hey." Ren smiled at me and then handed me the tray with two coffees to go. "Hey back. They’re extremely busy in there, so I thought I’d get us something to go and we could drive down to the river, maybe to one of the piers and have our breakfast over there. The view would be better, and we um, can t-talk?" "Okay. Sox loves to be down by the river, although…" I looked up to the sky, where dark clouds were coming up. "…it could start to rain." "If it really starts raining, we can always open the rear hatch and have breakfast in the back of my car." And that was exactly what we did as it started to pour down the minute we got there. I leaned against the back rest of the rear seats and looked out of the open hatch at the river. The rain was getting heavier; it was pelting on the car roof. It felt like we were sitting in our own world. Sox chewed on the rest of his beef sausage and I played with my empty coffee cup. Only a few minutes ago we had been talking about normal stuff: sports, a movie we both had seen, but then Ren’s answers had gotten more and more monosyllabic. Anyway, I'm kinda sad today because we sold that car today.

Sooo, I was feeling quite fall~ish and boom, it's summer again. Doesn't help to get into the mood for my new secret project.

Thank you very much, Def. I'm starting the week with a smile.

Thank you, dughlas!

Perfect start of the day. I'm all set for grocery shopping and some idiot blocks my drive.

No, no, no! But I like 776...

Oh...still in progress Okay, I'll wait. Good start.

Or have one of each. Or one and five... speaking of sanity

Thank you for your nice words, made my day.

Hey! No one is dumb here. You see what you see and I'm happy you read my little story. Thank you for reading and commenting, Gary.

Noah climbed the barstool at his favorite bar-slash-pizza place. “A coffee, black, and a slice of pepperoni pizza.” Tonino glared at Noah’s bloody knuckles and torn tee-shirt. “Rough night?” He slammed the cup down with such force that some of the coffee splattered on the bar’s polished surface. “You could say that.” When Noah said nothing else, Tonino huffed, irritated, and went into the kitchen. A minute later, he placed a plate with hot, steaming pizza in front of his best frie

I still have to post the second one. Take your time.

You just say what you think and I do the same.

Thank you, Val!

Thank you! When can we get more? Just keep the prompts coming

Ooh! You said this perfectly.

Why would we try the impossible?

Yuck! Sorry. I'm sure it's good...for others.

Prompt 1 posted. Today gamescom Prompt 2 later today.

I watch the huge, golden ‘thirty’ balloon bob up and down under the ceiling, following the hostess to my table. What a coincidence! Here I am treating myself to a nice lonesome meal, and there is another birthday party going on, much better attended than mine will ever be, mind you. As we get closer, I can see everyone staring at me. My hand shoots to my throat, adjusting the knot of my suddenly too-tight tie. Beads of sweat are running down my back. A guy wearing a green shirt steps aside just

Good morning! I just sent Val two prompts to edit. I'm so curious what she thinks.

Mission accomplished.
