Finger Point Prompt – Big Disaster
Keith Channing is still off, so today’s prompt was pulled from The Last Drive. The idea is to open a book to a random spot and point. The words closest to the pointing finger become the prompt. The random page today is 129, and the words are “big disaster.” Big Disaster by John W. Howell […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Tape”
For the second week in a row, the coffee appears without drama from the AI drama queen. The cup to the lips and a long slow sip is interrupted by the sounds of a calliope followed by the amplified voice of Phil Harris. “Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages. Welcome to […]
Tuesday – Anything Possible – Finger Point Prompt- “This Ain’t No Game, Lady.”
Keith Channing will be taking some time off, so I will again feature a finger-point prompt. The way it works is I open a book to a random page and then, without looking, point to the page. The word or phrase closest to my pointing finger is it. Today I opened the sequel to Eternal […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – mat/met/mitt/mot/mutt.”
My cup runneth over mainly because an accidental hit of the brew button brought three instead of two 5 oz servings. Luckily the machine has a drain, or the tsunami of caffeine would be on the floor. So the absorbent mat that is in reserve will not be necessary. Sipping the life fluid reminds […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Prize

Saturday Stream of Consciousness – Prompt – “Starts with Pro”Another Saturday and another opportunity to do exactly what I want.
Another Saturday and another opportunity to do precisely nothing all day. The coffee machine reached an agreement with me to produce two cups each morning with no hesitation. In return, I agree to ensure the water tank is filled and the beans are replaced. Oh yes, there is another fine point. The toaster needs to […]
