A: Let's do a predictive text game! Like, type in "I am a..." and then whatever words your phone recommends.
B: Haha that was crazy!
A: Yeah, that's how we're going to do everything now.

Words through a window:
Muffled, present, tingling like
the fuzz on a #peach

The neighbors have a dog, a baby, and a maid. I just have #sentient walls.

The walls follow me room to room. They whimper for my attention. They groan ugly scrapes and hum a high pitched squeal when I rebuke them. Cry for me at night.

I can only imagine how they manage when I'm not here.

Missed Connection

You were the #audacious blonde who refused to pay the plastic bag tax and held up JewelOsco self-checkout.

Me: Mr. Manners, offered you a dime that you rejected.

I dine daily at the Fullerton Starbucks at 10am daily, in a Cubs cap.

But who am I to tell you what to do?

Spine stiff like old growth.
Pain climbs my back: Refreshing
To feel a new hurt.

Treble + bass. Salt + pepper. PB? Meet J.

Not us. Our incongruencies were not jigsawed. Out to eat, the hosts assumed separate parties. Hotel reception: befuddled.

Sunrise, on the road, I watched you sleep shotgun. You weren't everything that wasn't me, but everything I did not yet know.

The VSS365 prompt word for Aug 24, '25 is BASS - The lowest of tones, pitches, or frequencies, describing deep, low sounds. Also refers to a kind of fish. "The bass rumbled like tremors in the earth, and the dance floor crowd pulsed like a living thing."

I was dressed as a king. My spoils: Reese's cups, Hershey kisses, #pixie stix.

The reward was the trove itself. My precious hoard. A rush greather than any sugar high. The veritable mountain.

I had candy to last for weeks, but I couldn't bring myself to eat a piece of it.

It’s the final flutter. Almost time to hand the timeline back to my pet human.
Your next mischief maker is @bowengreenwood.bsky.social
But first - one last twirl from me!
Go write something wild, mischievous, & worthy of a Pixie send-off.

Just going to quietly pin this to my own timeline 😅

Thanks for the effort in compiling this, @danigracewrites.bsky.social!

Shauna,

Coldblooded harpy. Thief of hearts and half-smoked spliffs. Queen of #sass, breather of molten truths. Tender lover. Temptress of young bartenders at Mulligans. My bruise that heals and returns in a new spot

Come back to me. Or, at least, bring back my Ford Fiesta.

I’ve no idea why Gabe got his wings in such a twist – just because I said a badger with a bellyache has a better sense of humour than the Angel Council. Still… maybe I shouldn’t have said it during my parole hearing.
Now go spread some sass.

Nothing like constraint to make you grind out the utility of a few characters here and there.

A super condensed version of something I've had in my head as, "Night of the Living House"

#amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerslife
After the renovations, I wonder: Did we have to see the noises as invasions into our humble flat?

What if, instead, the noises meant protection?

Neighbors like guardian #angels, watching daytime television inside our walls, dragging funiture on the ceiling, to let us know we're not alone.

Today’s your chance to channel your inner Gabe.
He may have glowy wings, but he snores like a thundercloud, grumbles constantly, and fights me for the last brownie.
So… make of angel what you will.

Tried my hand at writing in in a flow and sneaking in "drop" from the WIP Snip. Musing on "Signs She is Angry."
