Odd Prompts Week 6
I’m still working on last week’s prompt, (Real life got in the way of real progress. I hope to have it up in a few days) but this week’s prompt practically fell into my lap and curled up to make itself comfortable.

Odd Prompts Week 4
Another round of story prompts at Odd Prompts.
It’s been a long week and my mood was a bit low, so I went a bit dark this time.

My Brother
Russell Allen Ross was born August 19, 1962 in Knoxville Tennessee to a young Air Force Officer and his wife both of whom had been born and raised in Knoxville. Mom and Dad might have guessed that he was going to be an adventurous kid when he decided that he didn’t want to be born the standard way; he was apparently trying to see the world before ( Read more... )
