    Here's a question, was the older man in the same place as Bill at one time? Is Bill destined to become Rutledge and will Adam become Bill? There are Adams to come and Bills will need to help them find there way. Thanks for the insights!

    It is spooky, but that is the way of history, memories, consciousness. It tends to slide toward entropy without constant care and preservation. Thanks Parker!

    Hahaha!!!! I love it! That sounds like an interesting concept to explore. Perhaps and index should be made! Thanks Geron!

    There is degradation of electronic files just like there is with pen and paper. We are seeing older electronic records losing cohesion after twenty or thirty years.

    I think something the witch wants back like an appendage of hers. I heard the same music play as I wrote it. It sounded like Wagner and very scary! Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it.

    Yes, let's hope he makes it because I don't think the horde is one of pussycats or lapping puppies. I think the witch means to do him some serious harm. Thanks for the comment and for supporting this exercise.

    Prompt - 6 – Needles Highway My mother was doing that thing she did. That thing with the rag in the sink. It’s then I knew there would be trouble. I just didn’t know how bad . . .yet. “Are you bringing someone to the wedding?” she asked as nonchalant as can be. My mother was already devising a scheme to introduce me to someone. I could read it on her pinched forehead. She did the 'forehead thing' when she did the New York Times crossword puzzle on Sundays. She did it when my

    Prompt 5 – The Time-Warped Mirror “Rick”? the white-goateed man asked, looking up from his computer. “Can we get those ice core estimates from around sixty-five mil on screen?” “My name is Bill,” the other man muttered, annoyed that the old codger was being especially rude and dismissive. Professor Thomas Rutledge’s haughty attitude and mannerisms grated on the late thirty-some year-old assistant professor. Just because he wasn’t a full professor didn’t make him a lackey on this de

    Very true. However, there is so much history which is lost if it isn't preserved and honored. That's like a library going to seed. Great ideas! Thanks!

    Thanks so much Gary! Yeah, but don't we see the past slowly slip away, in human memory, in books, in computer chips over time. It's like the copies of copies of copies that fade into obscurity. That's what I saw in the picture. It made me sad, as you said, and made me think and treasure what we can preserve. I appreciate your kindness!

    That's so true. I see degrading silicon memories much like human memory loses. Over time, the copies we make of our past memories begin to fade and lose definition, like book molding and disintegrating into the earth. Thanks for the insightful comment!
  12. Cole Matthews
    I think so too. I thought the degrading of our collective memories by the disintegrating library would be like a couple losing their past. In a way, it's the effect of societal loss of the past for a community. It's experimental, but I liked the idea of making it very personal to see how it felt. Thanks for the wonderful comment.

    Thanks Valkyrie! We're having fun aren't we?
  14. Cole Matthews
    Yes, it would appear that someone or something doesn't like what's happening. Thanks for the interesting comment! What a great afternoon! We had a great time.

    I'm hooked on your fish as well! Hahaha!!!

    Thank you so much! As I said to Dugh, I wanted to build a scene with intricate steps and description and create a tense scene. I like it and we'll see what happens with it. I so appreciate your support and comments!
  17. Cole Matthews
    Thanks so much. I wasn't sure where to go with these prompts. I wanted to try something very descriptive that would engage my inner mind's eye. I saw a thief in the night so clearly and so I covered his path in and out of the hut. I also saw the fury and anger at the witch discovering the theft. Thanks for the support and the kind words!
  18. Cole Matthews
    Good questions. Also, why did the burglar believe it was owed to him? I love the myriad of ideas a vignette like this contains. There is so much to consider. Thanks for the insightful questions and the support.

    “What do you mean the pictures we took in Buffalo are gone?” Callum asked, looking up from the Muzz Read article he’d been perusing. “I mean, I looked everywhere on my watch, my phone, my tablet, the cloud, everywhere and the photos are gone.” Raj’s face was pinched and his eyes troubled, flicking about anxiously. “They can’t be gone. Are you sure you entered the right password?” “I’m sure,” Raj said, tossing aside the tablet and once again furiously tapping on his phone screen. “The

    Thanks Gary! I'm just working on doing some mental and imagination exercises. Hopefully this will get me moving in the right direction!! I appreciate the support/

    Me too!

    I can't believe I didn't see this first!!! Sorry about the earworm!
  23. Cole Matthews
    Hahaha!! I just saw this!
  24. Cole Matthews
    Glad you're enjoying! My mojo seems to be returning piece by piece.

    That's an interesting take about Sedgie. Yeah, but WHO doesn't want them to go on the journey? I don't think it's Sedgie.
