Prompt: I Cannot Live Without

There are several things that I rely on daily, but finding something I cannot live without was difficult. The fact is that I have lived a number of things that are often taken for granted, some luxury, some not so much of a luxury.
Actually, there are things we take for granted as necessities here that some countries do without regularly. So in looking at the things I cannot live without I had to first eliminate a few things I do without because they aren't allowed on the lease or cost a great deal more than we can afford.


  1. Dishwasher and washing machine are both forbidden because the water bill is paid by management. The inconvenience of a laundry room, and having to keep change without transportation is difficult but not a complete disaster.
  2. A vehicle. Not ideal in an area without even a cab company but we manage.
  3. A husband. This is a plus not to have.
Now we examine what I cannot live without. Oddly enough there was nothing material that came to mind. I cannot live without a little blonde.

Is there something you cannot live without? Could you live without convenience if you had to?

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...
