Love? Get knotted!
I'm going to start to talk about love by telling you how much I hate to talk about love. Ironic, no? I'm not trying to be clever. To qualify: it's not that I don't feel it; it's not that I don't like to express it; it's just that I don't really like to discuss it when it's personal to me.

The Serum
"And you really think this will work?" Mark Denver, as CEO of a floundering pharmaceutical company, needed to hear an emphatic "Yes!" from his researchers in order to be able to sleep well again.

He could feel the benefits padding his life out already.

The Good Neighbour
Beryl hadn't been out of the house for weeks. The ulcers on her legs meant that she had limited mobility and the only contact that she had was with the district nurse who came to dress them every other day. She was repellent to herself and so, did not have the confidence to partake in Life. Life didn't want her malingering around its edges, sending her rank, rotting taint through everything. Life wanted youth - fresh, smooth youth. She'd keep herself to herself until Life gave up on her.

There was too much poison on the ground - everyone was out to get them - and they were getting slim pickings from their usual haunts right now and so, they were looking up. This was about survival in the dark underworld they inhabited.

Week 7 of Write a Story Every Day in 2024
As I'm writing this stacked post for the stories that I've written this week, I have reached 50 stories and I am feeling pretty pleased with myself. Still on course to complete this challenge and I wonder if I am forming a habit for the future, one where I write something every day. It's been good for me, this challenge. I'm stretching my brain every day. I like it.
