Falling

By Jane Posted on October 26, 2014 Posted in Falling, Writing to Prompts No Comments

By Jane Posted on October 18, 2014 Posted in The Mistake No Comments

Nomzamo opened her eyes and sat up slowly, the bed groaned in complaint. Three small bodies shifted, aware that the source of warmth had left. She stood slowly, careful not to wake them. Despite the dark, she quickly located the …

What I don’t remember

By Jane Posted on October 12, 2014 Posted in What I don't remember, Writing to Prompts No Comments

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in The Promise, Writing to Prompts No Comments

The towns you drive

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in The towns you drive, Writing to Prompts No Comments

Her first town was no more than a handful of businesses clustered around a cobbled main street. The chemist was on the one end and the green grocer was on the other, like bookends bracketing the village. Verdant green meadows …

You are such a liar

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in Writing to Prompts, You are such a liar No Comments

Nearing Midnight

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in Nearing Midnight, Writing to Prompts

This is what I remember

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in This is what I remember, Writing to Prompts No Comments

Second storey window

By Jane Posted on October 4, 2014 Posted in Second Story Window, Writing to Prompts No Comments

Most people thought the wheelchair was a prison, keeping me trapped solely within a world of ramps and railings. But to me it was my ticket to sanity. No dealing with all the messy business of other human beings, just …
