A poignant one today from Ron, who suffered his own mental anguish over the years.
The challenge words this week are:
The day it seems that
Life is just not worth living
Remember my words
The only way of coping
Is knowing there is support

Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “couch” Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!
Couch, settee or sofa
What's the proper word?
So many words to descrbe one thing
I mean, that's just absurd!
Now I'm from Luvverly Engerland
And sofa's all the rage
They come in so many colours
From the patterned to the beige
But just to confuse matters
We also say settee
A wonderful place to cosy up
With a book and cup of tea
Our American cousins
Just happen to say couch
And that, to me, seems to be
A great place to slouch
So maybe that's where
The saying came to play
You're a couch potato
If you slouch on it all day!

Charli’s Carrot Ranch fiction prompt:
August 29, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about the safebreaker’s daughter. Who is she, what did she do, and where? Go where the prompt leads you!
Jailbreaker
It’s about time I carved a name out for myself. I’m fed up of everyone thinking of him whenever they see me. Mary. That’s my name. Not the Safebreaker’s Daughter. It wasn’t so bad, when things were good. No one could touch him. And we never did without. Then he went and got himself caught. Hand still in the jewellers safe. He’s sitting in jail now, rotting away. I need to do something. Something that will change the way they all talk about me. No more Safebreaker’s Daughter. No, soon, I’ll be known as the Jailbreaker. Dad, I’m coming.

Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt:
Ice
Cracking
A slow thaw
Of frozen streams
As the sun rises
Heralding the weather
The world has been waiting for
Ready to awaken today
A new day filled with new beginnings
It feels like anything is possible
