I sit on a hill in the park. The summer air wraps me in a velvet blanket. Above, pinpricks of light sparkle through a black canvas. One star breaks away from the rest and hurtles towards earth. There you are, I say. My #fallen son shows himself in beautiful ways. #vss365

Great use of tether yesterday. Today, somewhere a serene pool of warm water awaits. Dive in and enjoy. Let your thoughts drift, your worries dissolve, and completely #Immerse yourself in the moment. Today, May 23, 2026, your #vss365 #prompt is #Immerse

I read some fantastic stories yesterday. Some deeply emotional, others light on the soul. I often need both to anchor myself and remain positive. A writer needs a tether to sanity when living so often inside one’s imagination. Today, May 22, 2026, your #vss365 #prompt is #Tether

@wheelyluvshows My two brothers each lost a daughter in their 30s to cancer. Life isn't fair sometimes.

This is the anniversary of my niece, Nicole's, death. Taken by cancer at 31. Nicole was a wife, a mother of two babies, a registered nurse. Her blond hair and ice blue eyes turned heads. It's 17 years since her light was extinguished. #Lingering gold dust. #vss365

One Mother's Day many years ago, David gave me a Hosta. I love it, I said. I'll think of you when it comes up each year. David's been gone more than a decade now. And when that hosta appears each spring it never fails to remind me of my son. #LossLit

As she kissed him goodbye at the station, he wanted to weep, but he kept his despair from her. She couldn't help herself, #betrayal was second nature to her. She'd taken a lover from the ranks of the secret police. Sooner or later, they were both doomed. #vss365

Her blue eyes stared up at him. Hey baby, he cooed, running his hands down her body. He couldn't ever remember feeling such love before. Behind him bacon sizzled on the griddle. She drooled, he ignored her. She threw back her Husky head and howled in #betrayal. #vss365

Good morning from the North Georgia Mountains. Betrayal is the quiet fracture of trust, when someone you believed in becomes the one that lets you fall. Today is May 20, 2026 and your #vss365 #prompt is #betrayal

The number of #vss365 writers is overwhelming in the best possible way. So many fantastic stories and poems appear throughout the day that I’m sure I’ve missed a few gems along the way. But I’m truly enjoying having a small part in each one. See you at 5am EST.😉

I know that your personal road to hell is paved with good ones. Mine, not so much. Bad #intent incarnate; that would be me. Lots and lots of venal and probably quite a few mortal; sin and I go WAY back. Be seeing you on the way. #vss365

Sometimes you can feel #Intent. If she’s standing over you with a bloody knife, she’s probably not there to wish you a nice day. But I will. Good morning! Today, May 19, 2026, your #vss365 #prompt is #Intent
