TM Prompt 248: Would you make a good spy? Why or why not?
I really don't think that anyone has ever considered hiring me to be a spy. I'm not exactly James Bond. I forget things. I trip over my own feet. I'm not good at talking to people. I definitely couldn't seduce anyone to get information.
I guess this would be a pretty good cover story, if I were really a super-fit, super-confident hero. The whole ( Read more... ) -
TM Prompt 244: Happy Endings

They're the only people keeping you from starving, from sleeping in the cold at night. You live only because of their kindness, and that could stop at any moment ( Read more... ) -
TM Prompt 236: What does respect mean to you?
I think it was probably Queenie who taught me about respect. Before I met her and her family in the rock garden of my parents' house, I had only thought that I understood respect. Really it had only been fear ( Read more... ) -
TM Prompt 235: Show us where you live.
For most of his life, Willard had lived in the Stiles family home - a huge mansion of a place that should have been the crowning glory of the neighbourhood, a focal point for parties and celebrations, and a place where he would have grown up feeling like a prince. And it had been like that for a while. Always a shy boy, he had sat alone on the ( Read more... ) -
