Hot Rods and Custard

“Hold on tight baby, we’re going for a ride.” “But Sam, my hair.” “Baby, hair ain’t got nothing to do with it. Jump on and let’s go!” “Fine – are we really going to that dinky little drive in?” “Dinky? Dinky? Only all the best hot-rodders are seen there! We have to go. It’s SaturdayContinue reading “Hot Rods and Custard”

What’s in the box?

A: I think, when I grow up, I want to be Therese McMurphy. D: When you grow up? It’s a little late for that now, isn’t it, A? A: I’m always in the process, D. I mean, when I’m old – I hope I have enough stories. D: You talk to a time-travelling Pict inContinue reading “What’s in the box?”

Man in the Mist

D: I’m what?! A: Muahahaha! D: But they think I’m what?! A: Told you I was going to write today. D: But I’m . . . I’m . . . I can’t say it. A: Play nice, and I’ll bring you back. D: You are intolerable. A: Thanks, D.

D: I can think of a few choice words. A: Can it, D. D: See, there’s your problem. You never use your pretty words with me. It’s always short and terse and generally dismissive. I love words too, you know. A: . . . D: I do. A: (Sigh) I know you do, D. IfContinue reading “Words . . . and more words”

In Review: A Girl Named Cord

Of the many things I am, I am a reader. I write, certainly. I’m a mom too. And a reckless gardener. I have conversations with a time-traveling Pict Druid in my head and on this blog, but really, I’m a reader. I love to escape all that and just read. I loved reading Briana Vedsted’sContinue reading “In Review: A Girl Named Cord”

Powerless

D: My apologies to Mary Shelly. A: I think that’s my line. D: No, you were too busy giggling about the Theme from Young Frankenstein piping through the house as you posted this ridiculous piece. A: It was kismet, D. I forgot I put it on this playlist (it’s a Halloween song, after all!) ItContinue reading “Powerless”

Saved by the box

A: You’ve been saved, D. D: Pray tell, how. A: Well, I was just going to reblog my post from the Community Storyboard, from Day 10 of the Creative Writing Challenge. D: You mean that bit of writing I see at the bottom, here? A: Uh huh. D: And how have you saved me, really?Continue reading “Saved by the box”

Super Duper

My entry for the Community Storyboard’s Creative Writing Challenge, Day 7: Save the Day. Create a superhero who saves the day. “Mommy’s a superhero! Mommy’s a superhero!” “Annabelle!” I blushed and smiled gamely at my date. He’d just arrived and we were standing in the foyer when Annabelle had decided to careen down the stair.Continue reading “Super Duper”
