Feb Flash Blast Prompts 012

Tuesday Lunchtime

Another kind of loaf

He had sons, daughters, dogs, a home

New Blood

More than anything she wanted those 2.8

Cook Like a Man

God, basically, doesn't give a shit either way

On the Good Ship Lollipop

Yet more Facebook bullshit

It was light before I pressed the switch

I can count. Look how many fingers I've got

Neighbours, leaning over fences, kids on the floor

The best way to wear an apron, a towel

Can I have a cigarette?

There's no-one here to take your call and I couldn't give a shit.

It is the nature of confinement

It can be hard to lose by not-too-much at Scrabble

I read it in a book, and I saw it in a film

There's a place where they talk in song and not to sing is a crime.

I snore, so?

I would like to be more symmetrical

I am carrying my wife

Everything seems a little pale today

BLESS

A calm evening. Somewhere a dog barks

TIN

Her soft clothes, her dress, her underwear

TAP

I will strive to educate you

Hello, Vicar

I shall wear my hair long and wear Lycra

Ball-Bearings, Grease

It's not that I actually find you boring, but -

TV

Lock up your daughters; hide the boys underground

JESUS

A fact delivered like a slap in the face

IRON

Tell Her, but don't expect her to listen

I arrived late, to darkness

Gauloises

The mother was weeping

TEDDY

Yes, I wanted to kiss her.

And yet more prompts

I had a letter to post

The dying man wants sunlight

The way wood curls beneath the plane

Germans were imprisoned there, some stayed.

I need to say something, but it will take time

She had old, smoker's skin

DITCH

I am looking for love, or a sous chef

BANG!

My son's ghost is in the garden

All Quiet on Porthcawl Front

The Scenic Railway

Open the curtains, love, let in the light

I am sometimes a student

Fresh bread, my mother's hands

COPPER

And dreams of Xmas drums

TIN

Festivals, Processions, the long road to dying

Schizophrenia

We do not right old wrongs, only re-arrange them

Old Tyres, a dog on a chain

I used to think that love was all enough

The bullock strains

The c's in focaccia

I cannot find my invisible ink

Father, will you dance?

GRAPHITE

We must continue mourning; the skies are still dark

PURPLE

Even the sheep are staring

The past is on another planet

St David's, Catholics, every one of the bastards

Straw Hats

Corpus Christi, White as Virgins, charcoal, red

We had no choice but try

The thorns go in. Most come out

I liked the blues for a while, and harmonicas

On the street where you live

Pack up your troubles and all that

We will need a translator

I am my right hand man, and my assistant 

God will be along later, meanwhile...

It is better with a little more hair

When my wife disappeared, I...

February Flash Blast Prompts 001

February Flash Blast Prompts 001

I came home late

Too much lipstick, too red, like a mad harlot

This is how to fall

A long story with an almost-happy ending

Cursed I cannot remember. Cursed I can

GAME PIE

That night, the Farmer's Arms and how I loved the girl with the Fiddle

The stairs were always dark
