Forever & Always {Trifextra}
“I thought I’d lost you.” “Never.” I assured him. “You won’t leave?” “Not as long as I’m in charge of your heart”. “That could be awhile.” “I’ll wait a century if I need to, my love.” Trifecta this weekend: This weekend we’re asking for exactly 33 of your own words plus the following three…
Lucky in Love? {Trifecta, Write on Edge}
Leo Pontevorvo’s name was misleading and that posed a problem. At eighteen, his voice had finally settled into the baritone that it had flirted with since eight grade and his 6’1 frame was sinewy and muscular, complimenting his chiseled face and light blue eyes that seemed to waver between the hue of the sky and…
Laying the Groundwork: {Trifextra}
The syringes slid effortlessly into my flesh. Tingles followed the sting as medicine hit my bloodstream. I didn’t know it then, but my basic training as a mother had begun. Trust. Expectation. Hope. Trifextra asked us to interpret this quote from The Alchemist in 33 words. “It’s the possibility of having a dream…
Jekyll & Hide {Write On Edge, Trifecta, Studio30+}
Griffin stood at the mirror and expertly fashioned a half Windsor. Pushing the knot against his Adam’s apple, he fingered the Hermes silk.

Ever Mine (Trifecta, WOE, Studio 30+)
The courthouse was noisy, people coming and going, lawyers juggling cell phones and their paralegals straggling behind, arms full of blue backed briefs. Amie and Lauren stood in the middle of the daily chaos, smiling at one another. Lauren broke the spell, speaking first, her voice a reverent whisper “Can you believe this?” “Just…
Shelter and Smooches {Trifextra}
“Do you remember?” “I do; the rain, us trying to outrun the storm and your broken umbrella.” He laughed, pulling her close, “anything else?” She blushed, “Our first kiss, under that broken umbrella.” “Our first rebellion.” For Trifextra: This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we’ve done before. We are giving you three…
She’s So Good with Her Stilettos {WOE/Trifecta}
Image courtesy of Dean McCoy Photography The vision haunts me. Her heels clicking against the pavement as she strode away, my heart pounding like the heavy bass line of a club song as I let my eyes wander up past her stocking clad legs, the skirt enveloping her hips leaving nothing to my imagination….
