Life is Injurious

Fear of Injury by Maria L. Berg 2024

These are my responses to the Writober prompt post Fear of Injury.

Life is Injurious

Cuts, scrapes, and bruises
sprains, and infectious oozes
tooth chips, muscle tears
repairs, repairs, repairs

The body’s busy healing
as living keeps injuring
a constant clash of
care, and cares, and care

It’s the fear and the pain
that lead to fear of the pain
happening again so we
avoid, avoid, avoid

But is life in a bubble
free from all trouble
and scissors, adventures, and germs
a good life by anyone’s terms?

Writober Flash Fiction

Feeling Invincible Does Not Make One Indestructible

Ford felt invincible behind the wheel of his old Ford pickup. On an open stretch of road with the pedal to the floor, he felt like he could fly. But then something ran out in front of him. In the flash before he swerved it looked more human than animal. The truck left the road, crashing through the tops of trees. The branches caught the indestructible truck. Ford, without his seat belt, could fly, but was not invincible.

Halloween Photography Challenge

For today’s images I made a caution sign using a triangle shape filter over plastic that I penned yellow with a black exclamation mark, then used the yellow only filter in my camera in the mirrorworld.

Happy Writober!

Getting in the Halloween Spirit?

See you tomorrow!
