https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/07/03/your-daily-word-prompt-abject-july-3-2019/ Without assistance on this massive project, it was an abject lesson in futility, or so he thought. Sighing, he sat at his desk and pondered the problem. He was used to taking on challenging projects, it excited and enervated him. This, however, was beyond his scope and was going to take massive effort, digging, […]

Dark
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/07/02/your-daily-word-prompt-dark-july-2-2019/ Although she knew her way around this mountainous climb, in fact had scaled to the summit of this particular mountain a hundred times, it was the first time she was alone and injured. Throughout the climb, she’d only seen a couple of other hikers who were so engrossed in themselves, she doubted they’d even […]
Incredible voices!
Beginning to end, this woman’s voice is incredible! I love music! I hope you enjoy as much as I did. Incredible!
Sanctimonious
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/30/your-daily-word-prompt-sanctimonious-june-30-2019/ Gabe was more than angry, he was irate! That sanctimonious bag of wind had turned down his ideas for the app yet again. Normally Gabe wouldn’t have been concerned, he’d do his little spiel and move on but this was different. He knew it would work and take the company light years into the […]
Hide
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/your-daily-word-prompt-hide-june-29-2019/ Hide in plain sight had been her motto for the past three years and had worked until today. She knew instantly he was trouble. The steady stare, combined with his turning up in all the “wrong” places, the places she was in, was a dead giveaway. Fran was disappointed. She’d made a life for […]
Grad
She looked so beautiful in her gown and they were to take pictures at the waterfront and up on Sugarloaf Mountain, neither of which I could possibly manage, so she took time out of her busy schedule to stop and take pictures out front of the house. It was a pleasure and an honour to […]
Charge
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/27/your-daily-word-prompt-charge-june-27-2019/ Amelia opened the envelope and straightened out the contents. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. Her credit card bill had a $10,000.00 charge on it. She blinked several times, perhaps hoping to clear her vision or the amount on the credit card invoice might disappear or include fewer zeros. How could that […]
Extraneous
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/26/your-daily-word-prompt-extraneous-june-26-2019/ He was great at subterfuge, one of the best, he had it in the bag, or so he thought. He’d fumbled and bumbled and faked his way through life and his job and this was no exception. He pasted a broad smile on his face and entered the room. Myles wasn’t prepared for what […]
Bashful
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/your-daily-word-prompt-bashful-june-25-2019/ Oh so sweet and bashful was she Peeking from under a shade tree Eyes eloquently checking us out Safely secure in her little hideout Slices of apple gently offered by hand First sniffed smelled and then scanned Those gentle beautiful eyes gave thanks As she turned and left our little camp We have some […]
Control
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/24/your-daily-word-prompt-control-june-24-2019/ Suzette reminded herself once again, “control is an illusion”. Having said that she was still frustrated at the length of time it was taking to find answers to questions either ignored or passed over. As a detective on the force for twelve years, she knew the ropes, the rules, the scenarios, the hoops she’d […]
Indecision
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/23/your-daily-word-prompt-indecision-june-23-2019/ James prided himself on providing quick resolutions, no hesitation, no indecision. So he was confounded upon finding himself in a situation he wasn’t sure how to deal with. Indecision was tying his hands. He wandered around his office before heading across the room toward the windows where he always found solace peace and resolution. […]
New Favourites to listen to :)
I LOVE listening to new talent, people who sing in their own style and really belt out a beautiful rendition of a well known song. Kudos to all!
Music touches the soul.
I found a new program from England called Altogether Now. Instead of having four judges, the singers have 100. Some of these people are pure artists and they can tell a story through their voice such as none other. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
Thank you :)
I want to say a heartfelt thank you to one and all who followed this story. It was off the top of my head and is the premise for a book. Obviously it requires work, lol, probably lots of it. It was an interesting challenge that I gave myself, taking the daily prompt provided by […]
Insincere
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/16/your-daily-word-prompt-insincere-june-16-2019/ June was flummoxed. Darren Franks had been given the opportunity of a lifetime, to be with the best, learn from the best, walk shoulder to shoulder with the best and if he’d chosen to prove himself, he could have flown, soared, Jackson would have guaranteed it. Instead, he’d squandered a great opportunity, chossing to […]
Trust
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/11/your-daily-word-prompt-trust-june-11-2019/ June listened intently to Jackson’s explanation. Apparently, he’d been a long time friend that his father had given a job to. It wasn’t enough for Darren who felt he was owed more. Anyone’s guess as to what or why he felt wronged. He showed up, did his job, worked well but basically hadn’t added […]
Glamour
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/08/your-daily-word-prompt-glamour-june-8-2019/ To her way of thinking, there was no glamour in this situation. It was tense it was harsh it was unforgiving. She had complete faith that Nigel could resolve the situation and save Jackson. June held her breath awaiting the outcome. She wasn’t alone. She felt the tension rolling off of Roland. They turned […]
Stolid
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/07/your-daily-word-prompt-stolid-june-7-2019/ Nigel was a stolid thinker. It was essential, it was how he worked. There were several strategies open to him and his men. Dozens of questions and scenarios raced through his mind. Which would work best in this case was the question. Divide and conquer? The 2nd perp didn’t appear as committed as the […]

Instigate
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/05/your-daily-word-prompt-instigate-june-5-2019/ Nigel had contacted the local authorities updating them on the current situation and they had undercover men stationed at every entrance should the suspects managed to escape. As soon as they could identify the culprits involved, a full-on investigation would ensure. Nigel had to admitted he was a cop at heart and his blood […]
Dispel
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/04/your-daily-word-prompt-dispel-june-4-2019/ As they moved carefully forward, it was difficult to dispel the angst that assailed her. Would they find the men safe and sound? June wondered about Nigel’s previous comments regarding the men and whether they would stay or run and how invested they were in keeping Roland and Jackson prisoner and whether they’d fight […]
Frisson
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/06/02/your-daily-word-prompt-frission-june-2-2019/ A frisson of excitement akin to what a thrill seeker might feel hit June. It disturbed her as much as anything could have. This was her brother and Jackson, and these were real honest to god salt of the earth men trying to save their lives and yet that frisson flew across her veins, […]
Difficult
June found it difficult to sit and await the outcome of what had just happened. Even though she didn’t know Brad or the other members of Nigel’s crew, the thought of any one of them coming to harm was disturbing. She was shallow breathing and didn’t realize it until Nigel moved and she sucked in […]
