Blame Heather
A Conversation Between Cathy and Her Brain
Brain: As she sat on the rusted bench near the waterfront, admiring Joey’s chestnuts, Jane...
Cathy: Whoa! What the hell is that?
B: It’s the micro we’re writing.
C: No, it isn’t! I don’t want to write about some guy’s nuts.
B: But we’re following Heather’s prompt. She said to write about a food eating contest that takes place on the waterfront.
C: Joey eats hotdogs. Chestnut is just his last name.
B: So, you want to write about his wiener?
C: What? No!
B: You’re a pussy
C: You’re an ass

She's Gone
“It will be okay, Dad.” Tara’s attempt to soothe her father fell on deaf ears. He could hear nothing but the ragged beats of his own heart and the medical transport vehicle driving away, as he watched his wife of sixty years leave their home for the last time.

The devolution of the genteel ideal into a glorification of drunkenness🥂
In Primshire, the inhabitants prided themselves on their genteel manners and dignified demeanor. Tea parties, poetry recitations, and ballroom dances were the lifeblood of social gatherings. The Primshire gentry held their heads high, for they were the epitome of refinement and decorum.

Haha 😂
Hahaha! This is great. Love the format. Oh, the conversations we have in our heads😂
That was fun, though I never saw the prompt 🤣
This is so funny! Now please write about his nuts 🤣
I'm just so glad to know that you're as sane as I am! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This was hilarious!
🤣😆
😅 Now, now...Everyone calm down... Ok, who started this fight?
Lol!!! This had me laughing, for sure! Great work, my friend! 🤗
OMG!!!!
Haha 😂 This was great!
So, an A.I. style review- An ass starts an argument with a pussy over a Chestnut eating wieners. Taint that the truth? (Geez, now I’m turning red.) 😂🫢
Ha-ha! This all sort of dovetails into Dana Crandell's series about various body parts. Nicely done, Cathy!
Haha!! Hilarious!!! Great stuff!
This is fantastic! Way to go, Cathy!
Nailed it!! I told you somehow you'd make it hilarious!! You always do in the best of ways. I love how your brain thinks. Brilliant fun :)
I dunno what to say about this, but it seems like that if one's a pussy, and the other's an ass, they both must've gone completely nuts. Either way, let's just hope their hair's not a mess. *Badum tish*
OMG, that was awful in all the best ways! Well done! Although I don't know about it being Heather's fault...as a fellow East Coast native, I know that cheeky naughtiness is just a naturally occurring phenomenon. ;)
Okay, that was punny! 🌭
This perfectly and pointedly explores the meaning of the writing prompt with awesome slapjack humor. LOL!!!
Hahaha! Heather is often to blame! This was funny!
Now that was fun!
I truly adore your humor🫵🙃🎯
Ha🤣❗
