Charli’s prompt this week:
February 1, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that features something black and white. It could be a nun in a zebra monster truck, a rigid way of thinking, a bird in a tuxedo — be imaginative and go where the prompt leads.
I just had to ask. It was eating me up inside. The lies… the excuses…
“I saw you. With her.”
“Who? Janine? My father’s carer? And?”
“You weren’t at work the other day. Yet you told me you would be late back.”
“So? I had an appointment with Dad’s doctor. I went in late. Had to make up time.”
“Your eyes have been constantly on your phone recently.”
“I’m answering messages. From the carer. Dad’s going downhill…”
“Oh…”
“Yeah… Oh… What did you think? I’d been cheating?”
Pete rolled his eyes.
“Life’s not always black and white, you know.”

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken.
Ken’s face was plastered across every surface available, like a shrine to him.
Photos of him coming and going from various places, smiling, terse looking, with friends or colleagues, but most often alone.
There were a few of him with Barbie, but not many from the recent weeks.
Sindy sat, looking at them, trying to glean something from the images in front of her.
Nothing.
Nothing to report.
It wasn’t often that she was unsuccessful in these challenges she was set, but Ken was proving to be a tough one.
Could he be… honest?
Unlikely for a man, but if he was… that Barbie was a lucky woman, and she didn’t realise just how lucky she was.
She still had a few days though.
Could Sindy break him?

“And it’s a wrap!”
That’s it!
#JusJoJan is over!
What am I going to do with myself??!!
Actually, I may take a well-earned break… but you know me, blogging breaks rarely mean me not blogging, but rather attempting to reduce my posts for a while.
So whilst I continue with the challenges that I enjoy participating in, and I can’t forget Spidey on a Sunday, I may just go a little quiet…
Possibly this is the time to get that WIP of mine finished!
Half term is coming, possibly I can concentrate on writing then, and get this first draft done!
Here’s hoping anyway!
For Linda’s #1LinerWeds Challenge and #JusJoJan.
