You just said what everybody was thinking

I like this one a lot (I'm a little jealous)

I wrote this a while ago but I just wasn't in love with it (as I am usually, completely in love with every word I utter). But I am having lots of fun using the prompts because they spark me to write about stuff I'm not as in tune with. So, you, the forum, can either accuse or excuse it. So may it be...

Thank you,
this is what I thought Wall-e was about for the first half and what I wished it was about for the second half

Centuries of clouds billowing and imploding quickly elapse above a vaulted sky. From over and behind you, the landscape mumbles gibberish in hushed tones. While you fail to perceive what is shattering down upon you, dust and drops and ashes drift skyward in the swirling air, forever floating up. The...

All I want is people to enjoy my writing. I've copied the greats: I am depressed, I drink, womanize. I have one thing left.

“Ever heard anyone use the word 'ipecac'?” he began.—That set the mood for the whole evening. As it happened, she had heard the word before. In fact, she informed him of its etymology. It turned out to be the best first date he'd ever been on; and the first to make it past the appetizer. He knew hi...

three hots and a cot, right?

My grandpa grew tomatoes. And then he made me pick them.

Small, sophisticated machines each hum down another hallway in another building in another town in another part of the world after the war a very long time ago. They cast long shadows as another day fades. They search for life. One machine, in particular, had in its life seen more than one body, but...

DON'T PANIC! You may just need to reboot.

I wrote a Drabble! The names had been changed to protect the innocent, but then they were changed again and now we can't remember who did what. The only one we know for sure is: Mr. Bundles. Ghoulish Goulash, by unseentangerine _ Henry mused suspicions of Lorena as he watched her rinsing dishes and ...

When she was very little, Azazel's mother gave her a heart-shaped locket to wear, which she did—every day up until her mother's death. Never in her life had she ever regarded it. It was normal, part of her, like the color of her eyes. Why would you ever wonder about the color of your eyes? But when ...

I like the word POOF! But it's not to be read in this story. It's there to indicate when you should play POOF! sounds in your head. Or on the podcast. The Big Blue Wish Grantin' Genie, by unseentangerine “You have three wishes!” pronounced the genie. “You better get it right!” Norman’s wife barked. ...

_ I go to see her every day. Sometimes we sit together for hours. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than she is and I can get lost admiring her eyes, her cheeks. She always smiles at me, too. But, I must say, I see her smiling at others also. I'm not jealous! No, of course not. She is faithful...
