Those Who Live in Grass Houses

by Beholden

Rated: 18+ · Book · Fantasy · #2316938

All the GoT stuff, 2024.

Apparently this is going to be a load of writing of various types - stories, poems, reviews and, no doubt, just about anything else you can think of. I'll probably update this when I know more.

In response to "Return"

Oh, interesting comment! I hadn't looked at it like that but I see what you mean. To me, it seemed one of those prompts that tells the story for you and I was just attempting to subvert that by taking an unusual line. They addressed me as the father, so I thought about how I'd feel as the father and expressed that, at the same time avoiding having to continue a story in which the punchline has already been stolen by the prompt.

As regards mystery, that comes of having only one half of a conversation - we never hear what the daughter is saying and have to work that out for ourselves. ;)

I wish I'd not read the prompt, I really enjoyed the mystery you maintained here in your poem.

In response to "A Slight Adjustment"

LOL, Blueyez, I can't deny the thought of WDC crossed my mind as I was writing this. But typos are sent to plague me. No matter how many times I edit, there's always at least one that slips through.

"(Thern) he brightened and said ..." typo?

Good story. I really like your characters.

After I finished reading, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps stars mean nothing at all in the end. Much like many things here in WDC land.

Oh, that was classy. I was afraid there would be a brawl. Well done.

A Green Balloon

A Green Balloon

A few days ago, a green balloon floated by my window. I rushed to the window to see what was happening. Far below, a small child was crying in the street as his mother attempted to comfort him.

I ran downstairs, out the front door and around the corner to Fred’s Toy Shop. “Quick, have you got any green balloons?” I asked.

Fred sold me one and I dashed out of the shop to find the child and his mother. I gave him the balloon. He burst into tears again.

“He didn’t like that colour the first time,” she said.

A Black Cat

A Black Cat

Lucky enjoyed living up to his nickname. Although not exactly superstitious, he was aware that it would be foolish to tempt fate. You would not find him showing off to his friends by walking underneath a ladder, for instance.

Thus it was, when he saw a black cat crossing his intended path one day, he immediately decided to use a different route to his ultimate destination.

His brother, Buddy, on his way to identifying the body, decided that it was mere coincidence that Lucky’s changed path took him past the zoo, where a black panther had escaped only minutes beforehand.
