“Hurry up, my boy!” Cried the good doctor, as he scurried up the hillside. Though twice his assistant’s size and carrying his own satchel, the doctor was also somehow twice as fast. Seemingly immune to

Today’s prompt is ‘trolley day’: It was an earlier start than usual at the train depot, at least for some. Harriet was shivering on the platform, but only partially from the chilly morning breeze. With

Today's prompt is "baby talk": It was turning out to be a particularly off-putting day for Benjamin. It had consisted of brief, but numerous, respites from his desk in the form of watercooler

I usually stick to fiction, but I thought I’d give a non-fiction ramble for today’s five minutes, with a prompt of ‘civil rights’: I’ve been teaching a class to local homeschoolers for the last few weeks.

Here’s my freewrite for today. Those of you familiar with the musical Waitress may recognize the scene: Jenna crumbled on the inside from the cost of her lie. Her future of freedom and hope dashed away

Hello! It’s been a while since my last post, but now that I’m back home from school I’ll be posting more often. Sharing my stories and reading yours is something I’ve really missed these last months, so

Today's prompt is 'intensity': Galloping under the vast, morning sky, Fire and I rode forth. To our left, the sun broke the distant horizon, igniting the cliffs that fell behind us. The intensity of freedom

Up next...a script of Jealousy! A week ago I posted the first of eight scripts, each a stand-alone scene, that I wrote as a part of a Creative Writing Drama class I took. Once those are posted, I'll put

If you've read my previous post, you'll know that I wrote several short, two page scenes for a Creative Writing Drama class. I'd never really tried to write scripts before, so this was my first go. The
