Saturday Centus – Wk#111 – Prompt: Has it really been a decade? – 106 words – “The Joy of My Life”

19 Jun

Has it really been a decade? I mean, really, where has the time gone?

I watched my daughter sleeping. It was her 10th birthday. How angelic she looked and how soon the moment would be broken by the excitement on her waking. All too short a time ago, I would cradle her in my arms as she would gurgle and smile up at me.

She was waking.

I kissed her on her cheek, “Happy birthday.”

She wrapped her arms around me, “Thanks, daddy.”

She scrambled out of bed, excited by the expected gift.

Ten years of happy memories bundled up in the joy of my life.

100WCGU – Wk#46 – Prompt: In the dark recesses of my mind – 107 words – “Cunning Plan”

19 Jun

In the dark recesses of my mind an idea formed. I had a goal. I thought I had the solution. I might be six, but don’t underestimate my cunning.

I practised what I would say. I knew I had to be a good actor to carry it off or my plan wouldn’t work.

I needed to build my courage to face the foe and achieve my goal. It was time.

“Mum…”

“Hello sweetie, would you like a piece of the cake I baked?”

My jaw dropped in surprise, “Yes, please.”

How did she know what I wanted? She can read minds. It must be a mum thing.
