Wednesday and FTP


Dark clouds rolled across the sky to mix with the white fluffy clouds and leave an opening of sunshine in the eerie quiet. The wind picked up and the trees began to bend. Flashes in the sky, closer and closer until the house began to scorch, lightning had struck the roof and now the flames began to engulf it.

No words were said as the trucks pulled up with the hoses ready to soak the inferno. The house was a lost cause, proof that nature could not always be tamed.

The word is lightning and the word limit was 125 words. This post is only 90 words.

I linked this one, but apparently was not with it enough to comment. I love the idea of the house on fire. *grins*

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
