Seasonal and Topical Drabble Thingy

[dorsetgirl]

It’s been a bit of a strange week, but I really will start doing these myself soon...

On March 17th 2001, the Eden Project opened. Other news, not so positive, so we'll leave that as our sole historical prompt.

So this week’s prompts are:

Mothers Day

Garden of Eden

Garden of Eden (Life on Mars, Sam/Gene)

Sam had never given much credence to all that Bible stuff. Growing up in a succession of cheap rented houses, on the run from the rent man each time his Dad didn’t come home, hadn’t exactly left him with a great feeling that Someone Up There was looking after him.

But now he was settled in 1973, it felt like he was living in the Garden of Eden. He had Annie to be his Eve if he wanted; he had a life outside work, a new flat, peace of mind and of spirit.

But oh, the temptation that was Gene.

Sam, just remember what giving into temptation will lead to!

Daniel picked up his post and peered short-sightedly at the envelopes. The first brown envelope he discarded until he could find his glasses and read just how much he owed the electric company.

The second envelope was franked “Browns College”, which meant the possibility of an interview, or just as likely another rejection.

The last envelope bore a Moldovan stamp and he ripped the envelope open. A photograph fell out, showing a young mother, a small boy and an elderly lady, all smiling broadly. Daniel smiled back at them. Even without reading the letter he could tell Elena was happy.
