Examine
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/04/17/your-daily-word-prompt-examine-april-17-2019/ Several hours later, having hiked through dense mountainous terrain, the two sleuths stopped, taking a quick break before continuing on. They’d examined every inch of the pathway since finding the boot print hoping to find another clue. So far, nothing. It irked Nigel. Although he wasn’t given to second guessing himself, he wondered if […]

https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/04/16/your-daily-word-prompt-subsidiary-april-16-2019/ June smiled. “I did some research on you once I knew who was being called in.

Characteristic
Characteristic https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/your-daily-word-prompt-characteristic-april-13-2019/ It wasn’t characteristic for Nigel to share bits of his home life June surmised given the shake that followed, and she wondered if it were her in particular, or his way in general. His next words surprised her. “I’m comfortable around you, June. Not something I’m given to or admitting for that matter.” […]
Participate
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/04/12/your-daily-word-prompt-participate-april-12-2019/ Participate If asked, June would have immediately offered to participate in the search for Roland and Jackson, not only because she knew the men and their habits well but because she was a seasoned hiker and it was possible Nigel might have agreed, but it was doubtful; therefore, she’d done the next best thing, […]
Flower
Your Daily Word Prompt – Flower – April 10, 2019 The day dragged slowly by due to lack of sleep, that and the hypervigilance that dogged every footstep.

Brilliant
Your Daily Word Prompt – Brilliant – April 9, 2019 Brilliant They took turns the rest of the night keeping watch.

Talisman
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/03/28/your-daily-word-prompt-talisman-march-28-2019/ Talisman Nigel contacted his men updating orders and sharing information. He listened intently watching as June lit a small fire, enough to keep them warm but hopefully not enough to alert others to their presence.

Hither
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/your-daily-word-prompt-hither-march-20-2019/ So, Nigel concluded, one or both were leaving clues, strategically at that, nothing hither and thither about this. They indicated direction and perhaps more importantly, offered more important incite into what was happening. Nigel’s mind was working overtime. Book, marginal additions, camera. “Let’s stop, take a breather. I have an idea.” “Ok.” Intrigued, June […]

https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/03/15/your-daily-word-prompt-rumple-march-15-2019/ As he scanned the notebook, June surreptitiously peered across the space dividing them. The rumpled look suited him.

He looked classy in shiny boots, […]
The Morning after the night before.
June was up and awake but not before Nigel who already had coffee on the go. Between the luscious smelling aroma of fresh perking coffee, the added aroma of breakfast had her peeking out at him as all thoughts of sleep fled.

Knight
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/03/13/your-daily-word-prompt-knight-march-13-2019/ The smirk on Nigel’s face was equally amusing and annoying.

It was obvious he thought differently. If he […]

I had every comic book printed for years. I was totally fascinated with […]

https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/02/07/your-daily-word-prompt-equivoque-february-7-2019/ At first June was ecstatic at finding Roland’s notebook stuffed into the hole of the tree. If she hadn’t stopped in that exact spot to rest, she’d never have found it. Really, it was nothing short of miraculous. But someone wasn’t playing fair. His notes had been ripped and torn as though in anger. […]
