That is awesome!
Can you elaborate on The Discovery. Like it can be a discovery of anything?
It can a discovery of anything at all!
Drawn to stepping back into my past life for this … hmmm! Thanks for keeping us stimulated with your prompts … and now prizes too! Have a good weekend Esther. Cheers Eric.
Thank you, Eric. I’ve been away on a writers’ weekend and now feel inspired! Hope you had a good weekend too.
I have … thank you
You know I’m rubbish at entering competitions but reading your posts always makes me wish I wasn’t. I always feel like I’ve let you down a bit and I don’t like to do that but “Life pressures” eh. They can make pitiless demands on your time
I know just what you mean but thank you, Peter.
Sounds like fun!!
Thanks, Rajiv, I hope you’ll find time to give it a go!
Oh I will. I am also working on The Old Man on The Moon, and Dining Out
Super 🙂

Thank you for including mine! 🙂
I have an idea – I’m terrible at anything over 100 words, but If I can, I’ll give this a go 😀
It can be less than 100 words!
lol Good point – hmm.

I am a 10 year old boy living in India. I have just recently started to blog and I write short stories. Just like you, I too have come up with my own characters like Jack, Dylan and Dink. I plan to make a series of some of my stories. You can read my stories at https://shortstories4kids.wordpress.com/
Wow! What a talent you have. I can see you going far. Well done 🙂
THANKS!!!!!!!!!
