Here we go again with another seasonal round of shorts! 14 Valentine’s Day themed shorts are coming this month! While love flourishes all year long regardless of “Hallmark Holidays”, I thought I could take advantage of a little book I found:
Book with the assistance of Clyde the Couch Squid
It’s full of quotes and date ideas I thought it might be nice to subject the boys to.
So here’s the premise: For fourteen days, I’ll make up for the fact that we’re starting in February, I’ll randomly open the book to a page and write a short story about the date idea given!
Author’s Note: Opening the book at random, our first date challenge is to “Find a cosy co-working place together”. Interesting premise, since Jeron and Sylus don’t exactly have traditional forms of employment. However, if we jump ahead and get a bit spoilery, I think we can work something out 😉 Read more
For a brief moment, “Eternity’s Irys” was called “Mixtape for Saving the World” and every chapter shared a title with a song so if you put a playlist together of chapter titles, you’d have a mix tape. I’ve always wanted music to be an important factor in my story, which isn’t exactly easy considering the… Read more
“Flirt with dessert”. This is the perfect prompt for my foodie boys. I was thinking about something ridiculous but I saw afternoon tea and I instantly knew where this had to go 😏 Read more
Today’s random prompt: “Be a litter picker-upper.” I’m torn on how to handle this one. Charity bake sale? Very on brand. Doing Viscera Cleanup Detail? Also on brand. Which one which one… Read more
Random Prompt of the Day: “Begin a book club”. This is a cute idea since Jeron has only read two books in his life: Sion’Dri’s Code (a religious text) and a pulp vampire novel left by his mother who used to read all kinds of tales to him when he was a child. Every other… Read more
Today’s Random Prompt: “Movie night.” I had to go a bit off-script for this one as neither Jeron nor Sylus had much in the way of childhoods to speak of, but I think it still works! Read more
Today’s Random Prompt: “Grab a map and explore.” Wasn’t exactly on topic with this one, and it certainly isn’t my best effort, but its done. Enjoy! Read more
Today’s Random Prompt: “Be yoga buddies.” I laughed when I saw this one. Sylus has no bones and Jeron’s never done yoga in his life. Let’s see how they fair… Read more
Today’s Random Prompt: “A special silent sunrise.” Love the alliteration, but the sun doesn’t rise on Ancora anymore. Neither does the moon as it’s now anchored to the planet’s surface. So what then? What will they watch rise from the horizon? 🤔 Read more
Author’s Note: Uh… Okay… “Eight songs, a book, and a luxury item?” Sylus put the book down. “How do you carry 8 songs? CD? Cassette? Has to be cassette. You can fit way more than 8 on a CD. What about a tablet? Oh, there’s the luxury item! I can put a book and 8… Read more
