This is my entry Twittering Tales
The brain child of Kat Myrman of Like Murcury Colliding.
Why was he alone there should be a hundred souls here. The last transport was now. Everyone had left months ago leaving the final few to shut down the planet. It was dark and acid rain was falling. 9 o’clock the email said, he got his mobile out to check…. nine AM…. Nooo!

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light ?? I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21

Great story Sis! π
Thank you Sis ππ
Oh dear. Exactly what I can imagine happening to some of my children who will remain nameless.
Mine too, all three of them!π
I blame mobile phones. When we were kids we used a clock (or a watch) to tell the time. And if you missed your friends, you had to have plan to meet up somewhere later. They just trust their phones as if they are some kind of demi-urges.
Yes I know, one of my son’s lost his phone. He was in such a panic. I asked was it really life and death, his answer? “Yes, mum it is my life” …how did we survive? .
I really can’t imagine. Do you think it might have had something to do with organisation? We actually spoke to one another to plan things rather than just set off, eyes glued to the phone, not knowing where you’re going, just waiting for someone to text saying where they are and how to get there.
Definitely I agree, I don’t think they know how to organise anymore. The do spend all their time glued to the phone . No one talks anymore.
Yet when you want them, they don’t answer…
Oh!yes, it’s off, battery is flat or they have it on silent if you need them!!
The excuses always astonish me when I know for a fact that they spend 95% of their time with their faces stuck to it.
Yes, the trouble is they can see who it is and they know we can be put on hold.ππ
Devils π
Indeed! π±
Ha ha ha, that is why they should have used 0900 hours, can’t go wrong with that π
Yes indeed π π
Plenty of interesting entries this week π
