Prompts = Lost, Grasp, Notice
Story New — Looney Andy Thinks About Time
Ever notice how easy it is to lose track of time despite the profusion of devices designed to tell us the exact time? I don’t know about you, but knowing the time to the millisecond isn’t a priority. If I have to be somewhere important, I get there a little early.
When you tell time, do you say “three fifty-seven” or “a few minutes before four”. I fail to grasp how the extra detail helps at all.
Frankly, I get lost in the needless detail, much like I get lost in thought, right before my watch chimes the hour.
Story Old — The Home

Fred O’Hearn was lost. He’d left that place he’d been put by his rotten children who were looking to steal his things. He felt the stirrings of panic, of losing the ability to notice even the most familiar of things. Eyes wide, his head swung from side-to-side trying to see something, anything that would help him know where he was. He felt a scream rip out of him.
He woke with a start, hand grasping at the air. He felt his heart start to slow down and his breathing deepen.
“I don’t want to go to the Home.”
