Oh, yeah, batshit crazy is an apt description.

Carol thinks she has total control over Eddie. And he's said enough 'odd' things over the years that I'm sure she believes she can play off anything he 'might' give away.

It is only slightly better than thinking Wyatt didn't want him, but it's a different kind of agony he'll be going through now.

Keep hoping!

hehe, yeah, well MD is pretty low there...

Yes, Bryan will be devastated when he discovers the truth....

Yes, I see many of 'him' lounging in the mall like that. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Just thought I'd drop a note now that Lie of the Serpent is done to let anyone who was curious know what I have going on in my head now. Well, apparently, I've deviated from my original plan. I have a couple ideas floating in my head, one of which was the gymnast one I mentioned in one of my poems and in a previous blog. And I actually started it--one chapter, sort of. But then another idea hit me--okay, pounded me over the head--because I started it as well. I think I'm more invested in this one right now, and I have five chapters done so far. It's a bit more challenging for me because this one is in first person, and I'm debating on sticking with just the one first person, or alternating between the two MCs. Not seeing the second MC's POV is making it tougher, but might make the story more interesting too. So we'll see. Plus, I thought if it was long enough, maybe I'd hand it over to Cia for the premium thing. In the meantime, I'd like to try to do at least one prompt each week. I wouldn't want you all to forget me or anything. Of course, the outside world might intrude on that plan, but I'm hoping to stick with it as best as I can.

Thank you! Thought we needed a little humor after the last story.

Hehe, the playground comment actually happened at our house when my 11 year old daughter announced she was 'dating' Cole, whose a year younger than her. My husband asked her what she could possible mean by 'dating' him? Taking him to the playground?

Thank you! A lot of my kids went into this one!

Prompt #435—List of words: the zoo, a spider, a policewoman, an ice cream cone, and a mime. A Day Out I can't believe I'm standing here. In a girl's clothing shop. A trendy, expensive girl's clothing shop. On a Saturday. At the zoo also called a mall. No wonder Ryan and Shane had ducked out of spending the day with me, my niece Emma and her friend—Ashley. Even the lure of new clothes couldn't get Ryan to agree to go shopping today, not with two tween girls. My adoptive son said

A mix of short stories based on prompts. Basically, these are like my other "Shorts", and they will probably be based on characters from some of my other stories. I decided to create one place to put all the other prompts. If they are based on characters from a previous story, I'll let you know in the chapter notes.

Happy Birthday!

So glad you are enjoying it. I think you'll find it gets even more intense, so it's good that it's complete and you can read straight through!

Oh, it would definitely be worse for Bryan alone. Sarah is a great friend to both Bryan and Wyatt.

Yes, she is. And he is in the basement of her home, but on the private side, not the public side of the historic mansion.

hehe, so now you know why she wanted to talk to Wyatt without bryan...

thank you Darrin is rather unlikable.

Bryan's mom is rather interesting. You'll get to know her better as the story progresses. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Yeah, Darrin's not such a pleasant guy. I really like the teens, joking and hanging out, supporting their teacher.

hehe, yeah, it did have a bit of a sinister kind of start--like someone was stalking him... I hope you enjoy the story!

Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

thank you! I actually do have a start on two stories right now. Just debating which to go forth with.
