Drama is Not Limited to the Stage

There was a time when we thought of drama as something that was limited to stage and screen. We were children, as adults we learn that drama is not only in the real world but there are those that create it out of boredom it seems.

The thoughts of neighbors helping neighbors is one that is often unheard of today. It seems there are often strings attached that are not exposed until everything is said and done. It is rather fucking stupid disturbing to see someone do something that was thought to be a nice gesture to later discover it was merely something they expected something in return for. 

Loans are traditionally repaid however they are also traditionally made clear they are loans that require repayment upfront. Otherwise it is a gift but there are those that decide after the fact that it is a loan. This would make them not worth the time as they begin to spread rumors about those that thought they were doing them a kindness without expecting anything in return. 

The things that people do will never cease to amaze me. 

When you do something for people is a gift or something you expect to be repaid? Do you make your intentions clear before hand or do you wait until after the fact? What do you think about people that appear to be giving only to turn around and ask for something in return?

The week passed and the house was no where near ready. She came in slamming doors leaving piles of rubble in her wake as the fragile walls gave way. Cracks in the foundation widened as she continued the tirade until the ceiling came down on her. In the mist of dust and debris someone heard a fading whimper as she expired with the house she loved so. Why is she so insistent that the house be fixed instead of simply demolishing it and starting over? Is it fitting that her end came with the end of the house? The word is irrational and this post comes in at 125 of the 150 word limit. Vist M3 for official rules and word list. Visit Redmund Productions to pick up the serious and rememb...
