Monday of the Academic Year with mostly
freshman.
Before that, Lunch. Leftover skirt steak and
potatoes from Killarney’s Pub, alone with a
big blue globe in its black tote in the New
Wing.

Before that, the Morning Drive. Up through
the interstate traffic where you noticed the
fuel tank is empty before the left turn on to
Lovers Lane, and the right turn on to the
final road, which never has open parking
spots anymore.

I love this! Than you for sharing the prompt! I’m going to have to give it a look.
Thank you, Shaun.
It’s such a good prompt, and there’s more to Nancy’s entry on The Hermit card worth exploring.
Here’s to peace within your silence. Bless!
I feel all of this- I think we all do! I especially love “Middlenight Rotation” and what you’ve chosen to capitalize.
Thank you, Leah!
Capitalization came along in a final draft.
I felt excited when I got to that phrase and made it proper, too!
Appreciate the feedback. Bless!
You have inspired me to search for a little something like a prompt as well!
I like the way this describes briefly a long interlude of feeling. Powerful, TD!
