Leave me a prompt for one or more of these scenes and I'll write a short vignette that details that moment. Feel free to repost!

Ask me about a time my character(s):

…drank way too much.
…ran into an ex.
…lost their cool.
…went overboard shopping.
…made an unusual friend.
…won something they didn’t expect to.
…found a book they couldn’t put down.
…did something that they were really proud of.
…did something that they ended up being ashamed of.
…laughed so hard they cried.
…couldn’t stop crying.
…got dressed up for an event that they didn’t want to go to.
…fell asleep in an inappropriate place.
…kissed someone they didn’t expect to.
…got away with something.
…spent way too long lying in bed.
…had something turn out better than expected.
…couldn’t stop thinking about something (or someone).
…found a new favorite food.
…got really sick.
…had an awkward moment with family.
…had an epiphany.
…couldn’t sleep.
…tripped over their own ego.
…lost a bet.


To avoid spamming I'm not going to post this with every character I have - you can prompt Scarlet or Del, and if you don't specify, I'm going with Del because she needs more writing.

The child was screaming behind the locked door, words coming out between sobs. "Why....did....aunty....Del ....hit me?"

Del let her head fall against the door, eyes closed. "Come on out, Hettie, I didn't mean it."

"No!"

Her eyes crack, looking at the chipped lens in her had. She could probably fix it; it was her laziness that had led to this whole scene. She'd watched the kids for her sister a hundred times as part of the arrangement for her apprenticeship in Liverpool. She almost never took out her work while doing it, but she'd been so excited at learning a new skill that she had decided to show the 7 and 5 year old the new technique...by which they were immediately bored.

When she returned to the room to recover her things, she found Hettie inventing a more fun use for the lens by skimming it across the hardwood floor like a puck. Delphine hardly remembered slapping the girl and scrambling for the lens, it happened so fast. And now, here they were - Hettie locking herself into a closet.

"I'm sorry Hettie. I am. I was upset. Just come on out. I'll play dolly tea time with you." It's a huge concession, to her mind, since she hates playing that game, but her sister will be home soon.

Silence in the closet.

Then..."I think I lost the key."

Delphine groans, closing her eyes again.
