College

Daily writing prompt
What colleges have you attended?

Hallways littered with scuffed tile and lean carpet.

Imposing auditoriums with creaking seats and slanted ramps.

Computer keys click and pens scratch paper, all fearful that this minute detail might be on the test.

It never is.

We write it anyway. The fact will impress a group of friends twenty years later at exactly 10:16 p.m on the nineteenth of January.

A degree with ornate type and gold seals.

Then another one.

Still not good enough.

Play

Daily writing prompt
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

Laughing with abandon

Throwing a snowball

Watching a leaf fall from an autumn tree

Wishing on stars

Finding the magic in a tumultuous storm

It’s childish whimsy that keeps us young.

Time

Daily writing prompt
What are your biggest challenges?

A thread is pulled from my finger.

Another one from my stomach

A third one swings my leg backwards. I land flat faced and bruised.

A million different threads all tug in a million different directions. All pulling out, but very few rebounding in.
