‘Fine. Good. So what is real?’ Picking up an olive, Will twirled the toothpick in the air. ‘Who’s to say? I haven’t travelled across the globe and discovered all of its secrets. The day someone has all the answers, joy will disappear from this world.’ #1LineWed

Whether your scribing location is a room of one’s own, a coffee shop or in the office/factory, Wednesday means it’s time to get #writing for #WedsStory. This week’s optional theme is: MAGNET/MAGENTISM (A special WedsStory shout out to anyone who’s joining in while at work🛠️)

The darkness recedes, revealing a figure bent with age dancing at the centre of the circus arena. Her feet move in their own rhythm, separate from the notes of the mouth harp, and lines on her face are etched into a look of manic joy. #1LineWed

@dept42 I can still recite poems from my 3rd grade English text book, but can barely remember what I had for lunch, so I get it.

@LLaaksoWriter If you knew how many times I walk into a room and forget why you wouldn't say that but ask me about a TV show I watched over thirty years ago, perfect recall. 😁

@LLaaksoWriter It was good wasn't it. I can still remember and sing the theme tune, (I'm not going to, relax, but it's there in my musical arsenal if I need it 😁).

'Until I left Earth I thought all moons were dust and rock,' said the Captain. 'Yet here we are orbiting a forest moon, and there are ice moons, water moons, moons made of cheese—' 'You might have dreamt that last one,' said Skiv, 'and before you ask a cow didn't jump it either.'

'Well,' said the Captain, 'that themed restaurant was an eye-opener.' 'Nearly cost me an eye,' grumbled Skiv. 'Sorry, I blame the Isttorians making the theme medieval England. I don't think they did their research, jousting poles can't have been used as olde English chopsticks.'

@HilaryRSparkes Andrea Gibson, on whose unfinished poems the lyrics are based, was an extraordinary poet. I recommend looking up some of their poems on YouTube. Sadly they passed away last July.

Hugh angled his face towards the sun and closed his eyes, some of the tension he’d been carrying falling away. Now he knew what to look for, he could feel the call of the house and the leaves. Instinct made him reach out with his mind, and the melody grew stronger. #WedsStory
