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 to it in Sammi’s Comment Section.
With this being Passover week, my mind went to the Children of Israel wandering in the desert. Happy Easter or Passover to those who celebrate.
WADE IN THE WATER
Moses came to Joshua and Zilpah under the cloak of darkness and raised a staff. “You’ll be slaves in Egypt no more.”
Joshua hastily loaded a sack with tools they would need to set up a new home. Zilpah bundled their infant son.
***
“We was nomads wandering in the wilderness,” Joshua reveled in his children’s shining dark faces, “when Miss Harriet Tubman—Black Moses—led us to freedom.”

A viciously troubling story of mankind being unkind. It has happened since we populated the Earth. To some more than others but to all unfortunately. However, this day represents the the ultimate giving of oneself to all Humanity. Thanks for the story and the educational link.

Beautiful and timely. And as ever, needing remembering. Thank you, my friend. Here’s to freedom and to history – not the re-written one, but the one of how it was. Na’ama

Dear Dale,
I was going to write a Passover story about the Jews’ flight from Egypt until I realized I’d written it a couple of years ago. As you see, my faithful muse took me to another slave’s flight. Thank you for such a generous comment/compliment.
Shalom and Love from our quarantined house to yours,
Rochelle
