A myriad of unanswered questions plagued Isabel.
Short Stories
My current developing stories which you the readers change as it develops, your comments influence the outcome and you see the results. Your imput can make the difference at every peak and turn during the months that each story unfolds. Make the difference by commenting or following them.
Precipitant
Marshall was well known for precipitant judgements.
Austere
At the time, they sounded austere, pummeling her body as though they were physical blows and she was convinced bruises would show up later.
Accuracy
Ben doubted the accuracy of her statement, not in whole but in part. DeeDee Sampson was leaving something out, maybe several somethings.
Regulate
Mimi lived a vagabond lifestyle, a no holds barred kind of life, free-spirited for the most part, following a new path whenever possible. No need to regulate a life meant for living!
Haste
Megan had long ago learned that haste and rushing through a case made for errors.
Fear Controlled Me
Sally sat in the auditorium at a special event entitled, “Fear Controlled Me” listening to Anthea Marsden’s story shaking uncontrollably.
Temperament
Reg was amused. He couldn’t help it. Maria, usually cool calm and collected, rarely showed a change in temperament.
Corroborate
“Officer Merryman, in your mind, did the evidence corroborate the defendant’s statement?”
Quirk
Les wondered at the quirk of fate responsible for bringing him to this place and time.
Gratify
Elsie would often add (only to herself of course) that it was necessary to gratify her partner in unexpected ways.
Thirst
Sydney had a thirst for knowledge. She delighted in delving into and finding answers for the hard questions, the more complicated and convoluted the deeper she dug, indeed considered a maverick by some since she wasn’t concerned about ruffling feathers to obtain those answers.
Capitulate
The leader of the gun runners was sitting nearby with an arsenal of weapons at his disposal while the buyer was sitting opposite carrying and fully loaded. It was a powder keg with each faction blaming the other for their current plight as dozens of cops surrounded the stand-alone restaurant.
Ambition
Until he was 31, Eric’s constant ambition in life had been work. Seeing each promotion not as a stepping stone but as a challenge, he’d worked diligently in his chosen profession and delighted in heading to work each day eager to take on a new challenge.
Journey
The journey from one end of the island to the other, a total of 500 kilometres and a six-hour drive, wasn’t particularly daunting to Estelle. Like her dad had done before her, she’d taken time to map out the entirety of the trip with several possible stops of interest that although required detours of several hours and miles, were areas she was looking forward to exploring.
Interval
Mary was thirsty and leaned toward Beth to ask if she wanted anything from the snack vendor. Beth smiling said she could eat, popcorn would be great and Mary hustled out to the common area. The line-ups were longer than expected and she popped out her phone and perused a couple of sites until it was her turn.
Venerable
Judge Morrison sat slumped in his comfortable old chair before the fire. It was the first time in his life he could honestly say he didn’t know which way a case would go. And this one mattered. His niece was charged with the attempted murder of her ex. He knew without a doubt she couldn’t wouldn’t have done such a thing. What’s more, when Michael woke, he’d say the same thing.
Solicitude
Michael’s solicitude was touching. He obviously cared about his parents. He visited weekly, more when he could so he’d been excited at the opportunity of spending the following two weeks hiking with his parents.
Urge
The urge the compulsion to write was eating at her. More importantly, the desire to tell a story, true in nature, about her best friend Mae and her husband Tom.
Invoke
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and it’s true, especially in this case; to be honest, in every single picture that Vance took. His photos were a painting and photograph in one.
Presentation
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/09/28/your-daily-word-prompt-presentation-september-28-2019/ It was all in the presentation, he decided, his grin disparaging and contemptuous. He’d hooked hundreds with his lines because they wanted to believe, […]
Eccentric
Hanna dropped her head in her hands. God! It was going to be one of those days! Eric was as eccentric as they came. It seemed that most “famous or infamous” depending on how you looked at it, were. The list of demands that had to be met before their arrival could be as long as it was varied. Eric’s was no exception. The interesting thing was that he didn’t appear eccentric.
Ostentatious
“Isn’t the display a little ostentatious?” Maryanne asked in a whisper.
Plight
The plight of over 400 children lay in the palms of his hands and he was sweating the idea. He wasn’t a father, had no children as yet but he’d been raised by loving caring firm adaptable parents who meant everything to George. Their ideals lived on in him though they’d been gone these many years.
Precocious
The Langford wasn’t just any school. It was THE school parents sent their precocious children to with the hopes that their little ‘darling’ would become the next Abe Lincoln, Maya Angelou, or Albert Einstein. Angela smiled, ‘anything was possible’.
