• Sometimes, They Dont Come Back

  
  The Other Aaron — Authority: 422
  Sometimes they come back on time. We sort them, plop them in place on the cart, and ship them back to the shelves to be handled and picked over. But too often, they’re overdue. Occasionally they show up with a handful of coins. No note. No “sorry”. Others never pay their fines; we just find the books in the ...

• A bad dad

  
  Foolish Notions — Authority: 126
  His father knelt, exhausted, over the figure on the damp, drizzle-soaked ground, the breath whistling out of his body in painful wheezes. ‘Come on, Dad, give me it. Please.’ He had a firm grip on his father’s hand. He knew better than to try to take the knife by force. The scar on his cheek reminded him of ...

  stony river — Authority: 129
  Her dreams blur together on mornings like this, when she drifts in the fog between asleep and awake: a limbo that feels like heaven after a lifetime of work and raising kids.

• Non-identical non-twins

  
  Foolish Notions — Authority: 126
  That Claire and Clara are dressed the same could be kind of creepy. But they carry it off well. Look cute even. It helps that they are so similar anyway. They both have the same wide smile, the same large, lively blue eyes. They go shopping together, they eat together, they even sleep together sometimes. Claire ...

  murmurs — Authority: 110
  To the Ojibwe, she was known as the Foolish Girl. For she refused the comfort and warmth of the wigwam, preferring a tent of stars instead.

  Surface Tension — Authority: 424
  The words over at Three Word Wednesday are give, obvious and thanks.

Instead, I hear laughter and a low chattering. Around the table are six children, a bit ...

• Flash Fiction – Faded

  
  Tumblemoose Writing Services — Authority: 121
  The red squiggly lines under my words are coming more frequently these days. Used to be they would poke their noses around on an occasional basis, most often when the Pabst was flowing and my fingers got fat. I guess it’s inevitable, really. Doc Smallee said to expect some things to change after the diagnosis but ...

  DarcKnyt — Authority: 420
  I know it’s in my nature to write.  To want to write, anyway.  But getting to the keyboard and actually turning something out has proven to be a challenge, and not in a good way.The why behind not writing has, therefore, been very mysterious to me.  No matter how I tried I just couldn’t [...]

  Quotes on Writing — Authority: 123
  Jeremy sat on the park bench slouched against the north wind, his gloved hands between his knees, and watched uniformed officers enter and exit the police station across the street.

• Slabbery chops

  
  Foolish Notions — Authority: 126
  The gravy is from last night’s stew. The ketchup from yesterday’s lunch. Or maybe Sunday’s breakfast. The oil is from when he helped fix his son’s car.
