72/100 - another 100-word story...
.
Working Vacation
It was the first day of summer break and Bert was at his grandma’s house. He was at that in-between age of still needing some supervision during the day, but too old to want it. Both of his parents worked so he got to spend the days with his memaw.
“Bert, hand me them chips,” said Memaw as they sat watching The Price is Right.
“No,” said Bert.
“Excuse me young man?”
“We are going on a walk,” declared Bert. He gathered his memaw and his dog Flurb and they went to the park for an afternoon constitutional.

Today's 100-word story!
.
The River
Gertrude lived on the west side of the Phantomac River. The weird side. The farther you strayed from its banks, the weirder things got, but since she could see the water from her back door, things weren’t too bad.
After her morning coffee, she went outside to survey the mountains from her front yard. Their silhouette had changed again; a daily occurrence whenever the giants felt like playing bocce with the foothills.
What to do today? Maybe she’d travel across the river to visit her sister, but things were so boring on the east side of the Phantomac.

Part 7 of the Ellie McFinn story! Today's 100-word story, perfectly narrated by Jen Furches @springsummer2k
.
Lucky Strike
After slicing through the ropes that bound her wrists and ankles, Ellie McFinn found her handbag in a corner (stupid captors, she mused), and picked the lock on the basement door. She crept up the stairs to discover the house was empty, and didn’t hang round long enough to find out whose it was. In a glass bowl on the kitchen table lay a book of matches to the Aces and Deuces Club. She snatched it up and left out the back door.
Two streets over she flagged down a ride and made it back to friendly territory.

Currently working on ways to bring my nervous system out of fight or flight, where it’s been holding steady since about 1973. Understanding more about spectrum-related overwhelm has helped my awareness a lot, but practical application is another story. Up next - homemade herb tea. Chamomile, calendula, ginger, lavender. 🤞🏼

a 100-word story for ya...
.
Up And
Squatchie was riding high. His PR manager, Joel the chicken, had been hitting it out of the park! There was now a line of Squatch Merch featuring the cryptid’s likeness and the phrase I’M ON SQUATCH WATCH. Branded tank tops sold well in Idaho, boxers did well in Texas, trucker hats reigned in Florida.
To manage content on his social channels, Squatchie brought in Scilla (short for Priscilla), a brash yet brilliant squirrel he’d heard about from a yeti in his mastermind group. Engagement went up and up and up.
Soon he’d be on top of the world.

I think I am burned out on the 100-day project. I’m going to finish the Ellie McFinn videos, and then take a break. I’m tired of being ruled by social media capitalistic-contrived FOMO. I’ll still be around, and still post sometimes but the rest of the time I’ll be off my phone doing actual IRL things and working on my next book. 👋🏼
