Assimilating Assembly

THE PROMPT THIS WEEK IS THE ABOVE PICTURE. I AM WRITING MY STORY AS I LOOK OUT THAT WINDOW.
WORD COUNT - Not to exceed 100 words.
STYLE OF WRITING - Any
NO ADDITIONAL PICTURES

It’s been a few days since I have been to the window, the officials told us to stay out of sight, but I can’t hold up in here forever. It’s already been 5 weeks. I need the sun, I need light, the dark is for the scared. I’m tired of hiding. I just need one breath of fresh air.

OMG!! They are out there, the ginger headed numbered ones, they are like Borg, and they are assimilating more!! They look small, but they are so powerful, I hope they didn’t see me! I fear the mother ship.

My Birthday Poem

It's another Saturday Centus, this weeks challenge is a lyric that follows the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, using 32 words plus the prompt "in the autumn"

And a picture.....

In the autumn, pumpkins growing, big and orange, to clean and carve,

My birthday is on Halloween, autumn means my birthday is coming,

Pumpkins growing on the ground, big, orange, fat, and, round.

When I Look Back

It’s another Saturday Centus, Ms. Jenny has given us a very thought provoking post this week, as usual, and I hope that y’all enjoy what I have written.

This week we get 150 words, plus the prompt “If I die young”

This one was easier for me this week for some reason, and my word count came out at 149 total. Lucky me because I didn’t want to have to take out any words.

When I Look Back

I’ve never thought about my own mortality. But what if I die young? I have always had an old soul, or so I’ve been told. Wise beyond my years, so I suppose that dying young was never an option. I’m almost forty, but most days I feel older, I don’t know why.

When I look back at my life when I am old and gray, I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that I lived the best life I could have lived. That I imparted wisdom when it was needed, and listened when it was most important. That I tried to leave beauty behind me wherever I traveled, and that I touched lives in the most positive way possible. I want to know that I shared of myself as much as others shared with me, and I loved with my whole heart even when it was being broken.
