13 March: A Long Ache
You threw the red rubber ring from your hand, and said “On five,” and you counted 1, 2, 3 and then dived in the water to retrieve it … I was still waiting for 4 and 5. You said you won; “Male ingenuity,” so I grabbed the ring and said “On three,” threw it and…

7 March: for Six Sentence Story #2
Anaesthetic Always Wears Off “Look over at the door. Do you feel this?” asked the ophthalmologist, and since I thought shaking my head as a negative response was the right thing to do, rather than speaking (no, I have no clever explanation for that) … the long needle positioned down my tear duct slipped and…

19 February: for 6SS (prosery)
Of Its Passing Her voice holds the centuries,and yet she is a young one. She passes through the turn of a wheel,its eternal time hung on a thorn – the mist pulling up behind heras time leaves her to air and dry. This young one builds stone bridgesbut still wades through the water. “Did you…
