My WWBH Story for April 24, 2013 - Hard Worker

120912102843

"Now sweetheart, don't get all in a huff" Patricia said as she noticed her husband tapping angrily on the steering wheel of the car as they drove along the highway. "Maybe we should pull over for a moment" she suggested a bit nervously.

"No," Jack answered, "I'm fine"

"Are you sure" Patricia inquired, concerned.

"Yeah" Jack replied, "It's just that BS they gave me at HR about the reason for letting me go is a pile of crock. All they care about is the quantity of work done, not the quality.

"I know," Patricia said agreeing with him. "They have no idea what a conscientious and hard worker they're losing" She rubbed his arm affectionately.

She recalled the the letter that had come from the construction company that Jack worked for on official looking letterhead from the Human Resource Department.

WWBH Blog Hop: Wed April 17, 2013


Outraged and Devestated

Leanne Sype suggested the prompt we put together this week be in honor of Boston. To be honest, I loved the idea, but I was not going to do it because everything I read made me cry and I didn't think I could do it. Until I saw this.


It corresponds with what I read a few days ago, a quote by Fred Rogers that says, "When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"

So, I will put together a post with that in mind. I have found a lovely photo, though I believe it was taken before the bombings, it is open to many interpretations, not just for the marathon.

But first, some happier news. We have chosen the winner of our $25 Amazon Gift Card. Congratulations to


We are so thankful to each person who participates in our weekly prompt. Please keep coming back, or write for the first time! We welcome everyone and can't wait to read all the stories like the ones from last week.

Mystery Man by Quinn Nielsen
After the Gala by Scott Taylor
A Grand Surprise by Leanne Sype


Now, quickly into the prompt. We'll start with the rules.

1) Use the photo and the 5 words provided in your story.
2) Keep your word count 500 words or less.
3) You have until Tuesday to link up your post.4) Link up with your blog hostess (Nicole, Carrie, Tena or Leanne) when you’re done via the inLinkz linky below.
5) Have fun, don’t stress, let those creative juices flow.








The Words:

Threat

Vitamins

Summer

Quarry

Eating

Sometimes I feel like I should take a screen shot of the creativity games site I use to generate those words, just to prove they were randomly selected by the internet.

But enough of that, it's time to get writing. Make sure to link up below so we can all share in your talent. :)

MY WWBH Story – April 03, 2013: Her Dad's Shop


"Now Sally" Austin replied, "Don't go getting your Girders in a knot.  You know easily upset you can get about these things and how stress affects your heart condition."

Austin was right, Sally realized.  The doctor had repeatedly warned her about undue stress and the importance of not getting all excited.  she forced herself to  take a calming breath then worked to take slow even breaths, trying to lower rapidly beating heart.

"You know how much this dinner party means to me. how much it means to keeping my father's shop open." Sally whispered.  "I promised my father that I'd keep it going after he died.   I need this dinner party, and the sale this weekend, to drive business so I can keep "Williams Fun & Magic  Shop"

Austin smiled warmly.  "Your father was such a ham always a trickster, always joking around, but he was also a good business man too, though" he replied.  "He really believed in parity of income for all workers and new & improved working conditions"

"I just hope I can follow in his footsteps" Sally sighed.

"You'll do fine," Austin assured her.  "You've got your father's business sense.

"Just make sure you don't spike the punch Austin," Sally replied.   "Your just like my father in that regard.  He would have liked your sense of humor.  He wouldn't have approved, but he would have liked it.  

The words for this WWBH Photo Prompt were:
  1. Ham
  2. Spike
  3. Parity
  4. Girders 
  5. Sale

MY WWBH Story – April 03, 2013: Murder At the Amusement Park (10)


I thought I'd revisit my Ongoing Blog Hop Photo Prompt story "Murder at the Amusement Park" with this one.  The rest of the story can be found on my "Murder at the Amusement Park" page.(on WordPress)  I'll be adding to it randomly as the bloghop photos and words lead themselves to the story.

The Casino Disrepair and Despair 2005

Trent had just sat down in one of the balcony seats at the orchestra, that he was attending with his long-time friend  Samantha  Bearson, when his phone buzzed.  Samantha had ended up with an extra ticket when her boyfriend ended up being called into work. She had called and asked if he'd like to come along.  "Sure, why not" Trent had agreed.  The numbers being played by this particular orchestra included pieces by Beethoven, whom Trent considered to be a great composer.   One of the members of the orchestra had just stepped up to the front of the stage, violin in hand.  Trent glanced at his phone and saw the message  "Calling in 5" on the display screen.   He took the opportunity, while everyone was standing and applauding to make his excuses to Samantha and slip out into the large foyer just outside.

Five minutes later, right on time, his phone buzzed again this indicating an incoming call.

"Hello" Trent said briskly, answering on the first ring.

"He said he'll talk with you"  The man on the other end of the line said without preamble.

"How much?" Trent asked getting right to business.

"$600"

Trent let out a low whistle.  "That much?"

"Says he won't do it for any less"

"Okay," Trent agreed  What time? and Where?

"Tonight, 8:30 p.m.  at the Frowning Face Casino," The guy on the other end of the line told him.  "Look for a Silver colored Nissan Ultima with a cork on the radio antenna.

Trent glanced at his watch.  "That's half an hours from now..... I'm at the orchestra with a friend...."

"He says it has to be tonight or forget it."

Trent let out a sigh.  Thankfully he and Samantha had come in separate cars, so he didn't have to worry about leaving her stranded.

"So what do I tell him, is it on or not?"

"Tell him I'll be there."

"You better be" the man on the other end of the line replied as he hung up.

Trent made a quick stop in the restroom and, finding an empty toilet paper roll wrote a quick note to Samantha apologizing for having to leave suddenly and gave it to the usher.  Half an hour later he was at the casino when he noticed a silver Nissan Ultima pull up.

Trent cautiously approached the vehicle.  Two men, in casual business dress, got out from the back seat.  "Mr  Maring I presume?"  The taller one said

"Yes" Trent replied.

"Jack said you'd be waiting for us."

"Where is Jack?" Trent asked

"We're suppose to take you to meet him.

"Where?"

"We can't say." The shorter man replied.  "So are you coming or not?"

"I'm coming." Trent replied as he got into the back seat of the car.  The two guys got in on either side of him.

A few minutes later the car came to a stop at a non-descript two story house with a see-saw in the front yard

The 5 Words used in this story are: Cork, Violin, Seesaw, Toilet Paper, Composer

My WWBH Story - April 03, 2013: A Strange Light (yeah I know it's late)

4857947309_3632301394_z
Miranda shivered  as she stepped out into the chilly air from the warm cozy restaurant that she had been sitting in moments earlier.  She stood for a second outside, her gaze pulled to the large lake nearby.  She felt the call, a summons really, impossible to ignore.  The wind blew lightly and the grass rustled quietly around her as Miranda made her way towards the lake's edge.
Suddenly the wind stilled.  A strange white light streaked across the sky.  Miranda stared at it mesmerized, unable to look away.  The light wrapped around her, surrounding her.  The thought came to Miranda that this strange phenomenon  should frighten her, that she should be running away or at the very least screaming.  Strangely, though, she felt completely at peace.   A feeling of warmth and love seeped through her, the touch strangely familiar.

Suddenly a guy who looked like he belonged in the middle ages appeared in front of her - tall, dark, and undeniably handsome.  A sword hung by his side, the blade glistening brightly.

"It was you" Miranda claimed, "You were the one I felt calling me"  She could not explain how she knew this, only knew that it was undeniably true.

"Yes, indeed it was me." the man spoke his voice soft and melodious, an air of old world charm.  "I need your help"  He spoke simply without embellishment.

"Whhhy me?" Miranda stammered.  "I'm nobody, just a simple school teacher.  There's nothing special about me."

"I know your heart,  you have a certain repertoire about you for having unconditional love for those truly in need of it.  I know you are the best one for the job"

"What job?" Miranda asked.

"It involves one of your young students, Bethany".  Miranda's mind went to the quiet little girl who rarely spoke and didn't seem to be comfortable with anyone, anyone except for her that was.  "There is about to be great sadness in her young life and her life will be in grave danger." the man continued.  "She is comfortable with so few people.  You are one of the few she has warmed up to.  That is nothing to trifle at."

"But if you know this (Miranda didn't event think to question how he would know of these things) why can't something be done to stop it"

"Some things cannot be changed" the man said simply.

"So what is it that I'm suppose to do?" Miranda asked.

"Trust me," the man answered, "You will know."

"But....."

The man simply leaned forward, brushing his lips across her forehead.  "You will not be alone.  I will be with you protecting both of you"   The man shimmered, fading away.

"WAIT!!!" Miranda called ou but he was already disappearing the, strange white light from earlier re-appearing.  The light once again surrounded her filling her again with warmth.  Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone leaving Miranda feeling strangely bereft yet, at the same time, filled with a sense of purpose.

The words used in this story:  guy, repertoire, restaurant, blade, trifle

This week we got Leanne from Writing and Ruminations taking the WWBH wheel by storm....

Raise your hand if you are on Spring Break. *raises hand*  Although I'd contend "break" is a loose term and is certainly relative depending on who you are and if you have children. :)

Regardless, I hope you're enjoying the transition into a new season that promises renewal, growth, and hopefully *fingers crossed* warmer weather! Let's celebrate with a fresh Writer Wednesday Blog Hop photo, shall we?

Here are the fantastic stories written from last week's photo. Be sure to read through them and offer some comment love on their creations. :)

Blog Hop Photo Prompt Reveal – No use for society

boats,buildings,forests,homes,houses,landscapes,nature,Photographs,rivers,transportation
Gloria made her way carefully down the mountain using an old path  that most people didn't even know was there.   It had long since been over grown with weeds,  rose bushes and blackberry vines lined the sides making it hard to see.   Reaching a clearing, she saw a rickety old house on the river  2 old houseboats sat next to it in just as derelict a condition as the house.

"James" she called loudly  then waited....  "JAMES"  she called again when there was no response.  Gloria new that the old man was slightly hard of hearing and, also, new that he didn't like being taken by surprise and didn't take kindly to unexpected guests.  But he seemed to enjoy her company.  Of ten times they would sit and talk for hours about all sorts of things including things about the Lord.  There didn't seem to be anything that James didn't know about the Lord and about the bible.

Many people saw James as a decrepit  old man with little use to society....  Most people didn't even seem to care if he lived or died,  but Gloria knew differently.  Gloria knew  that underneath the withered old body  and a mind that was starting to slow with age there  a man who was quick witted  and a wealth of information.  James had a way of sharing information and telling stories that would make people laugh  (if they'd only take the time to listen). James held several degrees (including Theology, Psychology, and Education).   And had once  been the assistant pastor at a small church before his wife died  of cancer.   He had been so distraught over his wife's death that he began to binge, often times drinking himself into a stupor....  He had been at his lowest point in life, rock bottom,  with no where to go when a stranger had given a chance.   James had continued to work odd jobs scrimping and saving till he was finally able to buy the tiny piece of land  that he now lived on.  The two houseboats, that sat by the house, had once been in prime condition and he would often rent them out to vacationers.   It didn't bring in a lot of money, but it did pay the bills and put food on the table.  But the effects of years of drinking had paid their toll on James and as his health declined, unable to put forth the physical effort of upkeep, so too did the houseboats and house.

Gloria wanted to find a way to help James, but he was a proud man  and she knew he wouldn't take kindly to charity or hand-outs "Honest work for honest pay." He often said.  He wouldn't accept anything but that he earned it.  She had come up with an idea the night before.    The small community was in need of a tutor  to help some of the kids that were floundering....  Perhaps James would be interested in helping those youngsters to learn and grow.
(yeah - I know, I went over the 500 words)
This week’s words are:
laugh
saw
lord
degree
binge
