I froze mid-step when I realized the kid had called ME #Uncle. Did one of my half-dozen siblings have a kid and not tell me? Why does he look so much like me?

What did I do now?

@craytusjones I really like your middle paragraph. It's evocative and makes the reader present in the moment.

@Showshannahs @AmellMirai Classic!

In my bed. Alone. I listen.

A pitter.

A patter.

A pitter patter.

It's growing louder.

A single claw wraps under the door and then disappears...

I wait.

What else lives here?

Across the room, Carol looked me dead in the eye and she loudly said to our manager, "Some people grew up with a #sibling and it shows."

She's right. I have no idea how to cut another person down, but she sure is an expert. Her poor brothers and sisters.

I messed up the hashtag yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️.

#Stuffy?!? You think it's STUFFY in here?!?

Umm... Yes?

Well, you're right of course. Many say it's part of the appeal of a men's club. Not that I agree, mind you.

He talked some big talk. Always going on about how he had to #shovel through the grime to rise up to where he is now.

But I've known him my whole life! He lived in the mansion next door!

@LindenmuthWendi Definitely the languages! Within language is culture, so you'd not only know the languages but the cultures too!

@ClaireLLLW81 I have about 15 or more living in my head... So I'll start with those and then branch out!

@authoreverafter I had no idea you shared this! Thanks! ❤️

@thetomflanders I snort-chuckled at this. Good work.

[Untangling Words @UntanglingWords]

@auntie_social Very powerful.

None of them realized that the crazy they saw everyday was the #costume. Who I really was? They hadn't earned the right to know.

Twin vines snake up my pant legs, trying to tie me to them. I promise I'll only be gone for a little bit, but my love holds onto me tighter. I giggle and pet the tendrils clinging to me. My precious ivy knows how to make my heart sing.

The phrase #gentle giant never made sense to Olivia. Everyone knows the smallest creatures are the most vicious.

Unperturbed by my #morose companion, I forged on. His grumbling, while annoying, did not deter me in the least. He didn't know what I was capable of. I didn't either, of course, but that was besides the point.

Everyone should get the same deep seated happiness & glee from reading their manuscript that I do... I mean, there's WORK to do, but every time, I think: "Damn I'm good. Look at this awesomeness my brain created out of nothing." #Writing #Author #Editing #Writer #WritingCommunity

Her heart used to race when she woke up. The #anticipation of her day too great to contain in her chest. But now... That thrill was gone & she knew she could never get it back. At least not THAT one. Maybe another one, sure. But THAT one was out of reach forever.
