ReplyDeleteI'm off to work on a story, an idea is rattling and we'll see where it leads.

All numbers! That's different. I'll see what I can come up with.
ReplyDeleteRiver: Numbers are words too but I guess in a way, not quite. It would be interesting to see how people interpret them.

Matilda was twenty-five years old and had recently given birth to her first child. She was awaiting the number 9 train. It would take her and the new baby back to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her family would be waiting to meet their first grandchild. She counted at least 17 others awaiting this same train. It was scheduled to arrive at seven o'clock but was already late. Her sweet babe began to cry loudly. A young man who was about thirteen years old approached Matilda and ask if he could help her with the infant. This was surprising to have such a young person offer his help. "Are you sure?" she ask. The boy replied with confidence, "I been taking care of my six-year-old sister since she was a new baby". The boy helped her until the very late train finally arrived three hours late at ten o clock. The young man rode with Matilda and helped her with the baby all the way to Tulsa. Matilda wanted to introduce the boy to her parents. She turned to brag on the boy but he was gone and did not get the money she had wanted to give him.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie: That was sweet. You really don't see children being that helpful these days. Good use of the prompts.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
A wonderful story! I've known a few young people who would have done that, they are rare gems.
DeleteAn angel!
DeleteMy take on the prompts: - Fiction:The Blizzard in Aisle Thirteen
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
The Yılmaz family lived at number seventeen above the Erdoğans who lived at number seven. Next door at number six lived old Mr and Mrs Osman with their cat Hamza. He was always there to greet me when I came home from school. We lived at number ten - all nine of us including my disabled sister Dilara whose name means "she who delights the heart". At number thirteen lived my best friend Mehmet and the rest of the Ulusoy family.
ReplyDeleteThey estimate that a hundred and twenty five people lived in our apartment block but only three survived and by the grace of God, I am one of them but how shall I live now that the dust has settled?
Heartbreaking good use of the prompts
DeleteYorkshire Pudding: Good use of the prompts. I haven't even thought of house numbers.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Good use of the prompts and oh, so sad.
DeleteI used your "Words" - Numerals are words too, but I am not sure I like tham as much as them other words ;)
ReplyDeleteCharlotte: Numbers are words but I guess perhaps we don't think too much about them since we use them all the time and probably don't even notice it.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I'm in 7th heaven because (17 + 13 + 10) - 25 = 6 + 9.
ReplyDeleteMike: My math sucks but I'll believe whatever you said.
