A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link Sammi’s Comment Section.
This prompt is one that has me reflecting. 😉 64 words, not including title.

TV shows I loved as a kid are retro footage on YouTube. My favorite toys are displayed in antique malls.
I still adore listening to the Beatles. To this day, Paul McCartney’s brown eyes or Man from U.N.C.L.E., David McCallum’s baby blues make my heart flutter.
Somewhere along the line I stepped through Alice’s looking-glass. I’m a child stranded in an older woman’s body.

It is too funny what passes for antiques these days, for sure.
My looking glass has a vicious sense of humor, sometimes showing my mother’s face. Worse still, sometimes my father’s!
I enjoyed your response.

No, but my son of a gun sure does! Looking like Mama is okay, but every so often I tell myself, stop being your father!

Dear D. and Genia,
I see my Aunt Lucille in my mirror. 😉 She was my dad’s sister. I really don’t think I look like my mom. And it is a little unsettling to find familiar toys in museums and flea markets, isn’t it? Thank you both for your comments.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I spent my youth being my mother’s daughter and suddenly, in my fifties, I’m my father’s daughter! Not that I mind… he was a charmer with a great smile…

I still love seeing David McCallum on NCIS! Does it bother you also to hear “our” music on ELEVATORS?!?

Dear Frances,
David McCallum is the reason I started watching NCIS. 😉 What bothers me more than our music on elevators is hearing my sons’ music on elevators. Oy. Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend.
