Bee's Business
This is for Poppy’s sugar prompt! Do join in the fun here! Sugar. We have a love-hate relationship with this condiment. Whether we love it or hate it, there is one thing that’s for certain; all of us want to maintain sweetness in our lives.

Paper Crane
This is for Poppy's prompt, origami, and Kenny Penn's Haikuplet challenge. There's still a little time to join in the fun! Origami. The word brings to mind a bird often crafted using this Japanese paper craft - the crane.

Brownish Owl
This is for Poppy’s ‘fair’ prompt and Kenny Penn’s Haikuplet challenge. Do join in the fun! Asking whether a person has been on the receiving end of mistreatment is rhetorical. We have all been on that end.

Mimeograph Mimic
The humble photocopier. It’s become a scanner now, and an application on our phones that we cannot do without. Our friendly Mr. Gadget of years gone by, Thomas Edison, invented its predecessor, the mimeograph, in 1876. And we celebrate his lightbulb moment today.

Tumultous Sea Serpent
This is for Kenny Penn's Haikuplet challenge. There's still time to join in the chain here! Chaos. Like it or not, it sometimes throws, thrashes, and leaves our lives in complete disarray.

Whispers in the Attic
Part 1 Letitia Fong was bubbling over with excitement. The young, twenty-something artist had a respite from uncertainty—an inheritance from her fourth aunt, twice removed. Although the relative had been a mere acquaintance, Letitia didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth.
