What’s Not Fair? #It’sSix-SentenceStoryThursdayLinkUp #WritingPrompts #Inspiration

 

 

 

I’ll tell you what’s not fair. You’re staring at a blank computer screen, where you must write no more and no less than six sentences, using the word “fair” at least once, and nothing comes to you. So, you just sit there, listening to Christmas music playing in the background on your smart speaker, which brings you no inspiration.

You make a trip to the bathroom, then get a drink of water and return to your desk, but still, no idea comes. You throw a pity party, asking why you and why this word. Then, you realize there are worse things than not knowing what to write and life isn’t always fair.

New! Why Grandma Doesn’t Know Me

Copyright 2021 by Abbie Johnson Taylor.

Independently published with the help of DLD Books.

Sixteen-year-old Natalie’s grandmother, suffering from dementia and confined to a wheelchair, lives in a nursing home and rarely recognizes Natalie. But one Halloween night, she tells her a shocking secret that only she and Natalie’s mother know. Natalie is the product of a one-night stand between her mother, who is a college English teacher, and another professor.

After some research, Natalie learns that people with dementia often have vivid memories of past events. Still not wanting to believe what her grandmother has told her, she finds her biological father online. The resemblance between them is undeniable. Not knowing what else to do, she shows his photo and website to her parents.

Natalie realizes she has some growing up to do. Scared and confused, she reaches out to her biological father, and they start corresponding.

Her younger sister, Sarah, senses their parents’ marital difficulties. At Thanksgiving, when she has an opportunity to see Santa Claus, she asks him to bring them together again. Can the jolly old elf grant her request?
