    I bet that felt good to say I'm glad you liked it.

    @Cole Matthews and I completed our monthly joint prompt responses. We had quite different takes on the same prompt. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/valkyrie/promptingsfromvalhalla/29 https://www.gayauthors.org/story/cole-matthews/dinnerisprompt-lyateight/27

    Thanks so much, Gary. I'm glad everyone was surprised at the revelation about Amanda. And Carl is a special person to see Amanda for who she really is.

    Whew... 😛 I think this would be a good story to use for @Renee Stevens dual ending prompt. I'd like to think she turned down the job to explore a relationship with Carl. I agree with you about them having a more fulfilling life in that instance. Thanks for the comment!

    Thanks I think this would make an interesting longer story. I love reading how we each interpreted the prompt.

    I need to go wipe the sweat off now. I loved the buildup to the relief of the forest. I also like the "insects under Sherlock's glass" line. Nicely done.

    I think Northie is right. You are your own worst critic This is lovely. I can picture everything clearly and hear the birdsong. It has a classic feel to it. Nicely done.

    I'm sorry you had to go through that My grandfather had Parkinson's and dementia, and suffered from hallucinations, which is part of the inspiration for this piece. It's so difficult to deal with the decline of loved ones.

    The downside of prompts is that they're usually snippets and sketches--exercises not designed to be expanded on. Occasionally one will turn into a longer work, but I doubt I'll revisit this one again. Sometimes I find it hard to stop writing them, so I totally get wanting more. Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you liked it.

    Both are difficult issues to face. At least now they have answers and can work on a solution. Thanks for reading!

    Thanks It was really interesting seeing how you and Addy interpreted the photo. It was a tough prompt.

    The descriptions here were quite vivid, and I was riveted until the end, wondering what had happened and what was going to happen. You tackled the prompt more fully than I did, I think. My elements were more subtle. Great job!

    “Amanda Reynolds?” The woman stood and smoothed her navy blue skirt. She inhaled, then exhaled slowly in an attempt to soothe the colony of butterflies that had apparently taken residence in her stomach. Her high heels clicked on the faux wood floor as she strode toward the man waiting for her. She held her head high, ignoring the stares of the other people in the waiting room, and made eye contact with the handsome, gray-haired man. She walked with a confidence she didn’t feel. The man

    It's nice seeing different anthologies featured every week.

    I was disappointed they didn't do the whole series too. I thought they did a good job with this movie. I remember watching the animated version as a kid and it was a favorite of mine. I wonder if I'd like it as much if I watched it again now.

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who uses GA to tell what day of the week it is

    I'm experiencing the same lag. It's worst when I hit the "submit reply" button, but I'm now noticing it when I hit the reaction button or navigate between pages on site. I use an HP laptop with Windows 10 and Chrome.
