The past, the present and future walk into a bar. It was tense.

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! This week has featured a broken hot water heater, two floods in my laundry room, a sick husband and an angry cat who doesn’t like when giant dryers turn her carpeted floors into moving obstacle courses.

On the bright side, this has all led to finally getting that pesky stain out of that one spot in the carpet. So that’s something good. Yay!

On this this week’s writing prompt…

Leaf

Where has this leaf been and how did it get here?

  Thanks! I really didn’t like that stain. No idea what caused it, and it wasn’t even a recognizable shape so I could nickname it. Really, no use at all. 🙂
