Man looking at cards in a shop: How about this one?
His friend: It’s a birthday card.
Man: You could cross that out.
His friend: And write what?
Man: ‘I’m sorry’?

She wrote what could be a interpreted as a sad response to the tales and feathers prompt. Whenever she replies "it's not that sad," I add another sad emoji😂

My family is the only one to wear abalone shell. The buttons are cool and smooth under my thumb as I fasten my little son's thick sealskin coat.

He has never seen the sea. He does not know what I miss. But someday, someday he will feel cold waves kiss his skin, as I did.

The village buzzes with life when the Button Merchant arrives. Everyone wants to buy a shiny brass button for their son's coming of age; a diamond one for an engagement; an indigo one to complete the rainbow down their shirt. What sort of button do you seek?

A red button for the man I love, (he doesn't like red but he wears it proudly because it's from me) a green button for the pocket where he keeps the dreams he shares with me, a black button for the box where we keep the nightmares at bay.

Honk if you like cake 🪿🍰

A pretty slice of cake with whipped cream and blueberries, surrounded by some chaotic white geese: one is honking, one is sitting down like a person a crumb on their cheek while a tiny bite of the cake is suspiciously missing, one is eying the cake with laser like intensity, and a fourth is just poking their head out from behind the slice

Sometimes writing is like making a quilt.

You find a perfectly good story-thing, rip it apart into a thousand tiny, frayed little pieces, and cheerfully stitch them together again, one painstaking stab at a time.

(yes, I'm fine)

I find it's less stressful in type, I can form the thoughts first even when they come fast😅
