Charlie commented on the post, patient 5 months, 1 week ago
She sat, watching the time inch by, waiting, waiting. She was always waiting, but still she waited more for the inspiration she so desired to strike and for the words to begin to flow as the dam broke.

The pictures hung in front of her, all pieced together like a puzzle where the pieces are jammed into all the wrong holes. There were eyes, legs, fingers but none of the pictures of individual body parts seemed to go be where their respective body parts were in actuality. Kate felt as though she were [...]

She sat, hugging the floral print pillow, trying to restrain the floods of tears that threatened her cheeks with all the pains associated with salty water. Amidst all the death, the revenge, the backstabbing, the heartbreak and heart healing, the TV screen remained tuned into the same Lifetime movie, the controller untouched.

“Wait a second. You’re telling me that…what was in that canteen?” I was at the local antique shop. Working there, part time, summer job and all. We got a couple of oddities, weirdos who wanted specific things. This must have been the strangest of them all. “Magic. There was magic in the canteen,” I heard [...]

The clock was ticking. Tick tock, tick tock. She tried to write some cohesive story, some outline, something, but words failed her. This was not a good time. You hear that, Muse? Jeez, when did she give out paid vacations to her muse like this? Think, Clara, she reminded herself. Think. “Time’s up!” came the [...]

He held it up in front of him, blinking past the flames into the dark cavern that lay in front of him. He had not wanted this job. He had specifically told his boss not to put him on it, but here he was. Grudgingly leading the metaphorical way for others to follow in the [...]

Booth. It’s still ‘booth’? I mean, jeez. It’s the next day. Couldn’t they put up a new word already? Urrrrghhhh.
“Quiet, young grasshopper. You must learn to be patient.”
PATIENCE IS NOT A VIRTUE. Or at least, it’s not one of mine.

Haha! This reminded me of The Mummy.

Charlie wrote about the word booth 1 year, 12 months ago
It’s really kind of a weird word, booth. Like… boot. With an ‘h’ on the end. Then again, it’s the same for ‘boot’ – only this time, it’s boo with a ‘t’ at the end. Of course, you can go even farther with that and say that ‘boo’ is weird – ‘Bo’ (or the pronunciation [...]
