55 Flash Fiction Friday: Time Out

Frustrated at inexcusable behavior and angry looks the mom said, "That's it young lady. You are going in time out." "No!", screamed the almost three year old. "You bad! You go time out!" Fighting a smile the mom kept a straight face. You had to admire her fighting spirit even if her behavior was awful.

55 Flash Fiction Friday: The Old Fashioned Way

We looked at each other feeling hot under the collar. "I'm sorry," I said. I knew what I had to do. "It looks like your sister got both of us," I said reaching in the drawer. "I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way." "Waaahhhhhhh!" she cried as her temperature was taken.

Theme Thursday: Brush

Everyday you run and scream,
looking at me like I am mean.


I just want to help you out,
not hear you yell and shout.


My heart racing running after you,
everyday our torture starts anew.


Little girl can you please cut me a break,
let me brush your hair for goodness sake.

Magpie Tales: Rusty Water



Seeing the water do damage upon the floor,
she sank into it feeling hopeless at her core.


One more thing has gone wrong and now needs to be fixed,
she's starting to wonder if her decisions have left her jinxed.


The guilt slowly killing her as she watches red rusty water fall,
her doubts rising with the level of the water up to the back wall.


Her heart becomes pitted and slowly sinks with gradual shape deformation,
her worries and doubts breaking her like the pipe did from extreme oxidation.



This is a Magpie Tale
