You found me Where did she go? She had been right beside me and then, suddenly, she was gone. I searched frantically for her for years. the memory of her smile still fading with each passing day. Her laugh became a haunting chamber of echoes, tormenting me. I blamed myself for losing her in the first place. So caught up with the idea of growing up and being taken seriously, I forgot to have fun and enjoy the things I once loved, and - in that moment - I had lost her. I had lost myself. Maybe that was the answer. I began to look back on all the years wasted, and there, in the distance, I could see the shadowy remnants of my inner-child. I rushed to her, tears in my eyes as I scooped her up in my arms. “I’m sorry! I’m so, so sorry!” “You found me.” She said with a smile. “I won’t lose you again.” I say, setting her down and taking her tiny hand in mine, “Let’s try this again. This time, we’ll go together.” Fayre Skye #halfbakedprompts

"It was fun while it lasted." Another year, another anniversary come and gone. To everyone else, it was just another day. How she envied them, wishing she could forget the significance of the date as well, but it was always there in the back of her mind. She had shut herself away that day, packing away his belongings and going through old pictures with scissors or a marker, removing every trace of him from her life. “I wish I could say it was fun while it lasted.” She whispered to his smiling face in the photograph, “But I’m done lying to myself.” Fayre Skye #halfbakedprompts

As he did these things, the seconds, minutes and hours, started to slow down. By the end of the day, he found he was a couple of hours ahead. As he neared home, he felt things returning to usual. That morning, the dream did not recur.

I outran another day.

Again came that dream. A golden calender with red glowing dates that moved across the screen piling into a
cubic bundle at one end
The alarm clanged. Jones awoke and after an hour or so, was on his way to the office. Then it started again.

The realtor was sure it was the house for me. He praised the #oak floors and ceiling. I finally agreed.

I locked the doors and got into bed my first night, content.

I didn’t see the door until it opened. My realtor stepped into my bedroom, an evil smile on his face. #vss365 #halfbakedprompts

#HalfBakedPrompts He left before dawn. Agita embraced me. The letter, in an envelope, on the counter was the death knell. He betrayed us not with women but expensive toys bought on impulse, hidden, and cards. #writing #prompt

He asks, "how did you know it was me?" As the 20 feeder mice scurry around the classroom.

#HalfBakedPrompts
It started as a knitting club.
Woes purled in opposing rows.
Nodding sympathies
Months of cares no solutions
Betty bruised and battered
trembled with needles in hand.
One polished wood
The other enrobed in blood.

The moving train passed by farmland and picked up speed, with Andrew taking in the scenery before turning back to writing letters home. Another ten hours and he would arrive in Los Angeles to board a troopship bound for Hawaii and then the Pacific.

“Her face was carved in stone, snakes in mid strike.” He paused as they shifted their feet uncomfortably and tried not to stare. “Over here we have a replica of the shield that Perseus supposedly used.”
Their gaze shifted direction and missed the dust now falling from the statue..

“How did you know it was me?” The voice always asks. You casually brush off your shoulder & try not to tilt your head. Nobody else can hear it, the small doubt that whispers.
“I know what you are.” You mutter under your breath.
It laughs, purpose already achieved, doubt settling.

Hushed whispers tell of a creature, Raw & Hungry. An Unfathomable Urge to commit Appallingly Evil acts. A wandering mind waiting for you to let it in
