PROMPT: FRESHNESS

THE SHEETS

Pretty much nothing feels better than fresh sheets.

I admired them for a moment, then climbed into bed with my hot chocolate, ready to watch some TV.

Just seconds later, I got startled by my cat leaping off the wardrobe.

I dropped my mug.

And my new sheets were ruined… 😎

FRESHNESS

FRESHNESS

January is the time for reflecting and resolving ourselves with a freshness of spirit, of being more awesome, determined, and disciplined. January equals fresh starts. It's a ridiculous idea now. January equals hospice. Grieving death. Loss. Awful loneliness. Emptiness — vast emptiness. Freshness of death's heartbreak. Freshness of anguish. Every year.

Haha! I love that "Chill in my crybt" line. So it's like a cross between a 'crypt' and a 'crib'. Genius! 😎

His friend’s voices soon faded as he tumbled through the wet air, the droplets smashing into his face with the freshness of a slap from a girl unimpressed by his hands on approach.

Time slowed but the barrel’s rotation did not. Nauseated but too afraid to throw up, he succumbed to his fate.

About 2 people out of a thousand. The rarest of the common types. I have a friend with a rarer type which uses his surname in its moniker.

When I was in boot camp they typed me three times, first by a Petty Officer 2nd class, then a Chief, and finally a Lt Cmdr. It's so rare they didn't believe their tests.

Just starting here so trying to figure things out. The previous newsletter recap has "cruelty" for today's word. Are there more than one?
