• “Rubber Mallet.” ( short story)

  

  With each swing of the mallet, I pound the spike deeper into the ground. Anger, jealousy, envy, and hate fuels my swings but, I cannot stop pounding the spike more profoundly into the ground until my arm and shoulder begin to ache as tears and sweat streaming along my cheeks. I hear the faint echo…

  The annual sweetheart’s dance has become a coveted gala event for the 190 residents at the “Living Years Village.” And again for the third year in a row Edgar and Elizabeth Harden gingerly, soft-shoed around the dance floor strutting to the harmonizing tunes of their 1940’s big band favorites.

  Love was my first impression and seeing you was a tender moment I will cherish forever. Our young hearts were tenderly innocent, but our passion filled the warmth of a thousand stars.

• “Control?”

  Control is a powerful word, meaning authority to guide or manage something or someone. But for me, the word instantaneously brings to mind 1987, Janet Jackson’s mega-hit with the signature song “Control.” Thirty years ago the song and its accompanying video were the anthems for many teenage girls wanting to spread their wings and divorcing…

  Tell us your funniest relationship disaster story. I have experienced a few romances during my lifetime, and they were all first rate and or better. In my belief and experiences, a third rate human romance could or possibly be a superficial relationship. Since most superficial relationships developing into romance may be based on the attractions…

• Next in line (Daily Prompt)

  A second #Royal Baby will soon be joining the Windsor in England. Given the choice, would you rather be heir to the throne, or the (probably) off-the-hook sibling? I would rather be a commoner and not be apart of the hoopla of daily celebrity gossip of a monarch family who are scrutinized daily for any…
