  The Game                “Behold! The magic of the all-seeing eye ! Roll the dice and I will weigh your life on the scale of justice!”                “What are you talking about?”                “Just roll the dice,” Emily told her best friend.                Lucy rolled a 3 and an “ L ” then walked 3 paces to her left. “What’s the point of this game?”                Emily rolled a 5 and a “J” then jumped in place 5 times. “To see…who can get…to the… fish pond first.”                “What’s at the fish pond?” Lucy rolled a 3 and a “B” and walked back...

 To those who may read these stories (Dearest readers?): I have taken a couple years off from this blog, obviously. Well, I never formed the habit of working on this daily like I had planned, so I let it lapse with the promise of returning to it. Today is that day, even if it is 2 years later than planned. Due to life events last year, I found myself unable to write. I love writing, I just haven't been able to do it. So I'm restarting this blog with the hope that this will inspire me to get back into the groove. Enjoy my cheesy stories based on the cubes, write your own and post, or simply scroll by and find something more to your liking. I leave that decision to you. Me

                 “Big Foot has been sighted near that big tree over there,” our guide told us as we flew over the forest. “You’re sure you’re ready for this?”                I nodded at him. My partner looked worried .                “It’s easy,” said the guide. “Just remember to pull this right here. Ready? Go!”                I jumped out of the plane , enjoying the feeling of free fall for a few seconds before I pulled the chute and glided down the rest of the way.                We landed near a bridge that led towards the northern part of the forest. Slowly, not much faster than a turtle , we crossed over and headed in ...

                                    Penelope was sound asleep when her phone rang.                “The turtle is out again,” said the voice on the other end.                “Darn it,” Penelope said. “I was having an amazing dream that I was in Egypt. The pyramids were amazing.”                “This is no time for dreaming! Get up and go find that turtle!”                Penelope was not worried . She knew exactly where it was. There was an apple tree down by the bridge and the turtle loved to eat the apples that had fallen down. As she made her way down the hill...
