I hate to shop, especially on Black Friday.   I avoid it like the plague!   But an item in the ad that I have been wanting to get for months had a great deal.   So I ventured out this cold Black Friday morning to get the object I’ve been wanting.    I arrived at the store 10 minutes later, and as I already knew, the parking lot barely had any parking spaces.   I literally had to park on the street.    Being careful not to slip on the snow and ice, I walked several feet to the store entrance.     Crowds of people were rushing to find the best deals they could find.and beat the rush.   I finally found what I was looking for, a television, only to have someone snatch it up right before my eyes.    And if that didn’t make matt...

Did any of this stop them from enjoying a day on the beach?   No!   Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday rented a boat and took a boat ride while Monday, Thursday, and Saturday each took turns water skiing behind the boat. It was joyous day for everyone—and they all went out for the rest of the week to spend it at the beach!   Happy days!

Writing Prompt: A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life : Write a story where the protagonist goes on the most mundane errand you can think of. Rely solely on the character to make it interesting. Cherry woke up looking forward to an exciting day.   She was going to meet her boyfriend, Bob, after a long 3-year virtual dating relationship. But while eating breakfast, Cherry received a text from her boyfriend:   Sorry babe, but I never made it!   Hurricane knocked me off the road and I suffer a broken leg.   I’ll be laid up for several weeks.   Sorry for everything, babe! :’-( Cherry was depressed that she would not be meeting her boyfriend, Bob.   And now it would be several weeks before they could meet when his leg healed. Cherry thought that checking up on her friends on Facebook might cheer her up—but seeing their happiness only depressed her. So she picked up a romance book—bad idea!   The smoking hot sex made Cherry feel miserable.   So she tossed the boo...

I opened up my back pack to retrieve my cell phone and found a diary, a pencil and a piece of paper.   Intrigued by the contents of the diary, I sat down on the park bench to read it.   It was about some girl’s kidnapping.   Halfway through the diary, some strange guy was staring at me and motioning me to come toward him.   Against my better judgment, I walked over to him.   That’s when he snatched the diary from my arm and ran off.   I ran after him, but he was too far ahead and I lost him.   Then, a weird thing happened!   I received a text message from an unknown source telling me to go after the man to get the diary back.   The caller text me telling me where the guy was headed and told me to write down the directions.   Just as soon as I finished writin...
