Sometimes, I think there’re more interesting things happening behind the camera than in front.

Photo Challenge #350: Caught in Action


– Lovers by Harry Hollard, 1982

The drawing was blinding. I couldn’t even touch it, let alone look at it. This is what I spent $500 for? I was expecting scandalizing photographs, detailing all those mysterious hours my husband has spent away on his so-called “work trips”. I was definitely not expecting this.

Where did the phrase “Out for a duck” originate?

Friday Fictioneers: Showtime

“Re…lax,” I inhale and exhale, dragging the word, doing everything to calm the tension in my body. I shouldn’t be this nervous. Come on, I’m performing to a crowd on Zoom, not some important figure.

Photo Challenge #349: Love, Trust, and Promises


Credit: Natalia Drepina

I have never trusted anyone. My whole life, I’ve known only one thing – people lie. People cheat, break promises, betray one’s trust, and never do the things they say they would do.

Fibbing Friday: January 8th, 2021


Another fun challenge I thought I’d give it a try: Fibbing Friday. I know, I’m a day late. Whatever. You may think telling a lie is easy but I actually found it quite hard. I hope you enjoy my answers.

Friday Fictioneers: Untitled


PHOTO PROMPT @ Jan Wayne Fields

I stood there, staring at my husband’s desk. I should’ve known it’d be too good to be true. Neat-freaks and scatterbrains aren’t opposites. They don’t attract. They repel.

Friday Fictioneers: The Stranded Mr. C


PHOTO PROMPT © Trish Nankivell

Mr. C stares at the sign and sighs. Still gone as it has been for 50 years. He’s stranded in this desolate place as his brain kept wandering back to that fateful night. What went wrong? “I triple-checked that spirit-meter, didn’t I?” He muttered.

Friday Fictioneers: Christmas Bedtime Story


PHOTO PROMPT © Sandra Crook

They call this the “Scrooge Farm”. Instead of Christmas decoration each year, around Christmas, there would be scarecrows dressed in rags and sandbags for heads popping up in random places ’round the farm. Now, no one has ever seen the owner as there’s no house on the hundred-acre property.

Friday Fictioneers: Another Pandemic

Tossing his jacket onto the table, he sat down and sighed. He couldn’t believe it. Another pandemic. I’m 109, how many more events do I need to go through?

Friday Fictioneers: Crapulously Fabulous


PHOTO PROMPT © Susan Eames

Great, fantastique, awesome, super.

Just how many more different ways can I exaggerate this situation?

I don’t know what gave anyone the idea or the impression I can single-handedly put together a Thanksgiving dinner in 4 hours.

4 HOURS!!!

There I was, slaving away in the kitchen – turkey, vegetables, and stuffing in the oven, potatoes ready to mash, and all there was left to do was dessert.

“Marge!” Came a holler.

I must had turned too quickly because next thing I knew, I was on the floor. “Ow,” I moaned. My leg was turned at an awkward angle. Crapulous.

“Marge, you okay?”

(100 Words)

For Friday Fictioneers

Please note: the word “Crapulous” in this story does not mean what it actually means if you define this word in the dictionary. In this story, this word is the antonym of Fabulous. Crapulous, Fabulous, get it?

Flash Fiction – First Crush


This is a fiction/non-fiction take on the day I found out a boy has a crush on me. I think it’s a fun and humorous story to re-post. The story’s true but I just added some humor into the dialogues and it took weeks to happen, not in a day.  Continue reading “Flash Fiction – First Crush”

Flash Fiction – Mother-Daughter Confrontation


resolverI watched as she walked up those steps. She was clutching the straps of her rucksack so tight her nails looked like they were digging into the fabric. Continue reading “Flash Fiction – Mother-Daughter Confrontation”

All About Conflicts


No Foreshadower today. I know some of you are really looking forward to another episode but I just didn’t get to it even with my week-long break. So instead, I’ll post the comics I did this week for my Behavioral Management class’s group project. It is all about the chapter we are set to present on Thursday, Conflicts. Hope you enjoy.

The links for each comic is below the image, that is if you’re having trouble reading the texts.

Flash Fiction: Freezing


cold house cartoon“We’re going to freeze to death!” I squeal as I pile two more blankets over me, constructing a sort of tent.  I have never been so cold in my life.  It is the end of January, my teeth clatter as I bring myself dangerously close to the space heater.
