A Bathroom Greeting #drbreshears #flashfiction

‘Is that….is that blood?’

‘Would you like me to lie and make you feel better or tell you the truth?’

She couldn’t comprehend what she was seeing, Ryker’s words fading into the distance as she took stock of her gruesome surroundings.

She had just gotten ready in this bathroom this morning. It was clean. It was well-lived-in but clean. 

There was blood on the wall, splattered to the ceiling near…

Small Stories for Our Second: Brain Swabs and Hand-Me-Down Experiences #parenting #covid #babybook

Hello, kiddo!

We are halfway through week 29 and I feel updates are needed, my little love.

At our last appointment, we learned you are measuring out two weeks ahead, most likely meaning you are a big, strong, healthy baby. So far, all in all, this has been another easy pregnancy, with the same complaints of (WAY) too much morning sickness and cramping. I am starting to get into that…

In Case He Comes Back #flashfiction #istillgotit #drbreshears #writemore #nanowrimo

Most people wouldn’t step foot inside Mrs. Doloras’ home.

The rumors spread like wildfire after her son died.

She herself, of course, did not believe these rumors, but she also didn’t very well like putting herself into potentially dangerous situations.

The situation was out of her hands, however, as she was hired to do a job and do a job she must.

Mrs. Doloras was a small old thing, and her…

Another (A Last) Small Thing for You to Know:

Be Healthy.

This is not a very poignant last thing for you to know, but it is all that is clouding my mind these last few weeks.

Not only am I obsessed with having a healthy delivery at this point, but I am thinking about later in life as well.

I want you to live a full, meaningful, positive life. I want you to be physically healthy, of course, but also mentally.

If you ever feel unwell, seek help. It doesn’t have to be from me or dad, but of course, it can be. Never feel like you cannot talk to someone about mental health issues, ever. There are so many people that will be there for you.

Phsyically, don’t obsess over body image but instead focus on feeling good. Get some fresh air, take a walk, enjoy being active. Eat fresh foods, ditch the factory food.

Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings.

– Publilius Syrus

PostScript for Week 37:

This is a hard one for me to write because I have so many things I want to talk to you about.

Your father and I are overflowing with excitement, anxiety, and love this week. You will be here anytime really, and we just want to hold you, meet you, learn your personality, see what you look like, and love you.

Mama, in particular, is beyond ready for you to make your appearance, you are running out of room in there!! Your family loves you so so much, your baby shower was last weekend and you were simply spoiled, as you should be.

All we have is love for you, the only thing we are lacking is patience to see you!

I love you so much Madison Grace, I will see you very soon! Here are some last photos of Mama and you together as one!

Helpful Images for Daily Writers #writingtools #writers #help

I probably use these images 10 times a day while writing at work, so I thought I’d share for all my other writer friends. It may seem basic, but after writing all day you find you get into monotonous and uninventive word cycles.

Another Small Thing for You to Know:

Be Unafraid

Your mom has spent too many years of her life being afraid. Afraid of getting out of her comfort zone, afraid of things she can’t change, afraid of the world in general.

As a child, I was terrified of thunderstorms and being…

It's Not New, But... #fridayreads #shortreads #flashfiction #chapter #drbreshears

Sometimes you need to fall back in love with your own writing.

I found this old piece and am going to work on it today. For now, read and enjoy!

The Beginning

Have you ever looked outside when it just begins to rain, when the clouds have clearly just that very second become too heavy to hold up what they have collected for so long, when the earth just sort of stops, takes a second, and releases?
