Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, the morning begins with the usual sounds of home—laughter, playful arguments, and the comforting presence of family. Emily sits with Mrs. Blake, a letter in her hands, as they discuss the significance of the days ahead. Plans for a special dinner take shape, filled with small but meaningful choices, each one reinforcing the reality of belonging. As the day unfolds, warmth and quiet moments weave together—folding laundry by the fire, the soft weight of trust settling in. Through simple gestures and heartfelt words, Emily begins to accept what she has longed for but feared to believe in: the promise of home.

Smell of the Crowd

by Maddy Bell
Copyright© 2022 Madeline Bell

Life has some certainties, birth and death of course, but the rest is a mix of Minestrone and Spaghetti, some of which we have no direct influence over. We can however decide whether we want Parmesan or other seasoning, we can give Gnochi a try, doesn't mean we'll like it but at least we'll know. Gaby has reached just such a point in her life, she knows she likes Pizza, she's not averse to Spaghetti or Lasagne but is Gnochi for her? The Gnochi in this case is doing the singing with BlauHase on a more serious level, as a 'hobby' its fine but could this be a change of career? Well you don't find out without trying so that's just what our heroine is about to find out in this, the 27th book of the Gaby saga.

The Seamstress and Her Moth Part 5

XII. The Feast of Fractured Mirrors

The farmhouse table groaned beneath casseroles that reeked of clove and false piety. John’s mother—a woman who starched her hymns—leaned in, her gaze lingering on Lanie’s sun-kissed cheeks and the demure lace dress that was Georgia. “What a vision,” she sighed as if this moment could be preserved like a jar of pickled beets.

Badasses Of the Multiverse: Book 5: Volume 2: Chapter 04

Lee would think that he might get at least on evening's peace. But, no. The girls crash the Deco.

Though, Lee still has a gig to do and that is what he is going to do. Fortunately, the way the lighting is on stage, and with his back turned to the audience, the girls don't realize he is the piano player, entertaining them that evening

The only trick is Lee figuring out how to get out the building and away from them, without the girls discovering he is there.

Then, Lee was walking into one of the strangest situations of his life. And Lee learns there are such beings as alien science fiction and fantasy fans.

Also, there other factors that Lee did not know to take account before. Both good and bad, that Lee will have to handle, one way or another.

For Lee is caught in the rat maze, and now he must workout how to escape before he is captured.

Memories (are made of this)

There are key moments in everyone’s life that determine their future. They lie in one’s memory and emerge when other major events occur and this way they influence forthcoming life. Sometimes they seem negligible and are ignored by others while others that seem to be significant are just a consequences of a series of decisions made years ago. Those are not pleasant or sweet in most cases though they force me to go back and relive them again and again. Thus I can write only ‘bout my memories ‘cause only I and nobody else can know what moments are really key moments.

"Granny, Granny, please tell us a story! Pretty please, Granny!" said nine year old Linda as she sat on the floor with her twin sister Julia.

They had on matching sky blue blouses and navy blue skorts which each had embroidered a red rose with green stem and leaves as well as the first initial of their name. They both looked precious in their white knee socks and black Mary Jane's. Each of them looked intently at me with their deep blue eyes, resisting the temptation to twirl their long blonde hair in their fingers, since they loved my stories.

Before I could answer, Julia burst out, "Tell us a new one, Granny! Pretty, please!"
