I’m pretty miserable right now, but it’s all part of the process and very predictable at this point. I just have to weather another week of aches and pains (like intense charley horses). Thank goodness for hydrocodone! Oh, and Benadryl. The latter helps knock me into sleep better than anything. Right now, it’s aches in my legs and feet. I like being clear-eyed for at least the first part of the day so I can get some work done and update my budget sheet/pay some bills. So, no pain relief just yet. This afternoon, I’ll take a hydro, then join the family to watch Wicked! I can’t wait!
In the meantime, let’s play! We haven’t played this game since last summer!
I bought this little brainstorming tool years ago at some writers’ conference. “Story Cubes” is a brainstorming game. You roll the dice, and whatever pictures appear face-up are the ones you use to riff off a story. You can try to include all the cubes in your “story” or choose a few. The story you tell doesn’t have to be long or even any good. They all count!
To make this fun, I’ll offer a prize—a $5 Amazon gift card—good for purchasing one or two stories…
Have fun with this! Don’t overthink! Here’s the roll…

Did you see that kid that played with magic ended up conjuring a demon that follows him everywhere…

They made an odd pair—an old man and a young boy whose movements were in-sync with each other. Were they related? Perhaps grandfather and grandson… No one knew. It seemed, however, the old man mimicked the young boy’s movements—almost shadowlike. They walked everywhere yet managed to travel the world looking for clues to solve the world’s mysteries.
Their current quest was the search for a magic fountain. All they had to go one was it was located in the northeast somewhere. So they set out.
While they traveled lightly, the boy had a magic wand to provide for their needs. Based on conversations they had with the local inhabitants, they performed minor magic to solve problems or conjure up goods to trade. They survived on a diet of fish and lamb and wild plants they found along the way.
Finally, they reached the base of the mountains. Searching for clues, the pair discovered a small patch of moist soil. Above it in the rocks, they saw a crack where water drops slowly surfaced. The boy touched his wand to the water drop. Suddenly a rumble echoed deep within the mountain. Halfway up, the rock parted revealing an opening.
Carefully making their way up the rocks, they entered the cave. The boy waved his wand and the crystals surrounding them glowed ,revealing a beautiful shimmering fountain in the middle of a grand room. He dipped the wand into the water and a beam of light appeared. The pair entered the beam and disappeared.
Where did they go? What happened to them? We may find out at the next throw of the dice!

A new year brings new possibilities.

I used my magic wand to take the sheep and fish around the world to get away from the evil cat. 😁

I saw an arrow and followed it to a sheep in a fountain chasing the fish. I raised my magic wand but did not use it, as I was scared of the shadows.
