Today’s prompt: Write about a character that always says, “I don’t want to bother you, but…” I’ve chosen a character from my WIP, who would definitely say this. It’s not so much a story, as an internal monologue, as to the reason he begins sentences this way. He’s a sad kid. Hope you like it! … Continue reading A Burden

Author’s Note: Today’s prompt: "Use these five words in a mystery story - Power. Devil. Clutter. Blonde. Poet." I just let the words flow with this one. It's a bit weird, I'll be honest. But please do let me know what you think. Flames licked his bedroom walls, the clutter on the floor smouldered, his … Continue reading The Poet & the Devil
