Absurdities of Life
A challenge based use of wording…
A limerick about the absurdities of life…
What one must laugh at just to deal with the strife.
A woman asked a psychic for advice out of fear.
Then paid a hefty price just to hear..
How her only two big days would be a wedding and a funeral as a wife.

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
