Eggshells
Why walk on eggshells, when the inevitable tastes like cherry pie? -

I loved this Paul – I didn’t realised you studied film – that must have been so interesting! Your reasons (or not) Definitely resonate! And the ending made me chuckle – like such a Paul ending😁

Paul Stewart replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Well…I love to leave people wondering…as you know…and I do struggle with whether it’s all a big con and really we just want people to say “you’re amazing” and all this bells and whistles about it being in our blood and very being and needing a release is bullcrap lol. I know it’s not, but love playing with that…and it is a very confusing thing. I think…for many writers…we start for some reason…then the reason changes…like life andd then you forget about why you started in the first place really. Like musicians…there are a lot of bands that just got together because getting girls/boys/whoever was easier being in a band…and then it became more. lol. Thank you though! Glad the ending made you laugh…that was my intention! 🙂

Grounding is an essential part of enjoying the simple things. I too have bunnies and they are eyeballing my romaine. Nice work and I love the lead image.

Heather Hubler replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Lol, I bet they are!! The bunnies here ate all my tulips. And thank you! I’m trying to use some of the images I’ve gotten but haven’t used as inspiration 🙂

Paul Stewart replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Ah felt this one. I often get annoyed at myself for not stopping enough and taking in the beauty around me. Well written and love that image!
-
Heather Hubler replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Thank you! I don’t think it’s hard to do. Always something on our minds or hearts keeping us occupied. And I love the image too…it was something I didn’t use for another piece but really wanted to write something for it 🙂

Really nice, it’s so hard to stop for the small things especially now. The little things bring a lot of joy. This is such a good reminder.

Heather Hubler replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Thank you! I’m glad it maybe gave you a bit of joy today to stop and look around. I know I needed the brief reset 🙂

OMG Kenny – This made my skin literal crawl. It’s beautifully written but damn so intense! Brilliant! They better give the prize to the Penn – I can’t imagine what could possibly beat this! Good luck!

Kenny Penn replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Thanks so much Celia! I hope you’re right!

Paul Stewart replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Crikey this was incredible. You packed a lot into so very little (haha, I hate always saying that about micros…but it’s true) I was left with more questions in the end but…i found it thoroughly disturbing…but written so expertly. I hope this places for you – I think it’s excellent!
-
Kenny Penn replied 2 years, 6 months ago
Thanks Paul! I’m hoping it’s good enough to get me to the second round. Fingers crossed!
-
Paul Stewart replied 2 years, 6 months ago
You definitely have the skills and the imagination for that, Kenny! As always with these things…guess it comes down to the people deciding, but this is an awesome story for it. I keep thinking of entering…then never have things ready to start etc. Hope you do get into the next round, though! Excited for you!

Wow. This was really hard hitting, absolutely intense and beautifully done. I was really transported there.

Thanks River! I hope the judges agree!

Just as powerful on the reread. Immediately set the tone and then the feelings of dread crept in until the reveal. Really well done, my friend 🙂 I hope this places!!

Thanks Heather! I really appreciate it and I hope it does too!

Funny that we both have written haikus/senryus about eggshells, lol. Was this for ViM’s challenge? I love the cherry pie line 🙂
Hold on. There’s a challenge about eggshells?
No, about walking on something other than sunshine, lol!
this is excellent! Now I want cherry pie…
Me too. Thank you very much.
Still trying to find out how these ? marks are showing up.
