Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “PH”
The coffee machine is slow to wake up today. A check of the vitals shows no problem, but the command buttons, once pushed, seem to have no effect on performance. Thinking back to the day when working a farm, the most reliable way to motivate a recalcitrant piece of machinery was a sharp physical […]
Finger Point Prompt – Bullet
I guess everyone knows how this works. I open a book to a random page, and then, with my eyes closed, I point. The word or words closest to my finger is the prompt. Today, I opened The Last Drive to page 171, and the word “bullet” ended up nearest my finger. So that’s the […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Spruce

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Something That Closes”
The brew machine delivers a cup of steaming stuff faster than usual. There is more time to fool with the clock. The clock is in the pantry, and the pantry door closes after fetching it. Another dial appears on the back of the clock for the first time. There is a small clock face and […]
