TToT – Lights!

Time is really getting away from me this week. I definitely don’t like when it gets to be Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t done my TToT. So I’m thankful that I’m finally getting this done, even if it is a very weak effort. For this week, can I just say I’m thankful that we finally…

TToT – I Think I Can!

This has been one heck of a week! I feel like The Little Engine That Could. Except at the moment, I’m so tired and I really need a nap. But I’m determined to get my TToT in FRIDAY because if I don’t, it won’t happen at all. So let’s get right to it…thankfuls ahead!

Six Sentence Stories – The Lie

He almost never thought about Earth anymore. There was no point, since you could hardly even call it a planet now, he thought as he caught sight of what remained drifting into view at the corner of his window, shadowed against the backdrop of blazing swirls of vermilion, persimmon, marigold that would complete its inevitable…
