#DailyPost: Undo

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Undo." "This is the one event I'd erase," you said without hesitation, "Just think about it, that was the source of all maledictions. Before then, there was a chance, for millions of people there, and across the world. After that, wars, genocides, persecutions... All the way right up to now. Just think..."

Humble Pie #DailyPost

Tell us about a time you found out after the fact that you’d been mistaken and you had to eat a serving of humble pie. "I'm so sorry my friend, I really apologise to you (poor bugger), how could I be so ruthless?" The little demon keeps agitating in his bag, squeaking. "I know, I know, you were quietly walking the street, sniffing the air, looking at the girls, watching the traffic...

Pick your gadget #DailyPost #WritersWednesday

Your local electronics store has just started selling time machines, anywhere doors, and invisibility helmets. You can only afford one. Which of these do you buy, and why? "Really, I don't know what you would do with a time machine!" she said, laughing, "even without one, you creep back on the past all the time... As for the future... On the other hand, an anywhere door offers some interesting possibilities, just imagine…

Dilemma #DailyPost

So, this is the deal: you stay, and then, here is your place, or you go, and good luck to you. But, you insist, the deal is reversible: if you want me, you have to convince me to stay, or I go. And so, we go on, late into the night, do you want to, or not, and if you want to, how do I convince you to say you do?

Unfinished #DailyPost

We have got so far, much is still to be done. We have to go further, down the quiet streets, and the wide avenues, through the small parks, along the canals... There, somewhere, we'll find ourselves, the meaning of us, the ultimate ecstasy. Till then, it's unfinished business, work in progress, the novel unfinished. Till then, there is only you and me, lovers, haters, fighters, humans. After us, the déluge... Image: Maurits Cornelis Escher -…

Disagree #DailyPost #WritersWednesday

"It's me you're babbling about, isn't it?" she said, on a tone of voice that betrayed her mounting anger. I kept silent, no point in denying: the computer screen clearly showing the latest entry on her story was there, in front of us. At this point she was arguing with her ex-husband, and a row was boiling. "I asked you before: let's talk first before you start writing about my intimate life, wasn't that made clear to you?" I could…

Waiting #DailyPost #Autumn

Processed with VSCO with se3 preset We look out on the street, the scenery of everyday, ever changing, never fading. Autumn is there, palpable, in the leaves blown across the sidewalks, in the colours of the trees, in the chill in the air. Slowly, implacably, the city changes to its winter clothes. You and I are waiting, loving, reading, light jazz floating through the rooms.

Ancient #DailyPost

He prides himself of a certain fitness, and longevity. At the gym he gets himself checked, measured and weighted. The young trainer congratulates him for his balance in muscular mass and body fat, and shows him the numbers: what could make him happier? Besides she's most helpful and pretty. She draws up and explains a training plan. He so looks forward to resuming training.

Banned #DailyPost

We wish to leave behind the negatives, open our minds to the new, the innovative: the positives. Around us we see the future being built, as our present. Of course the signs of the past are all there, as if to remind us all that nothing is, ever, unchanging, immutable. Time, they say, is a great healer. Perhaps. Rather, we see time as the veil that keeps us guessing about the meaning of the present, about what is around the next twist of destiny.

Rearrange #DailyPost #Berlin

She asked: "Do you think the City is less sexy in winter?" This made me smile. All the way to Frannz Club in Prenzlauer Berg, I reflected on what my lover said. Later, immersed in Erik Truffaz' amazing trumpet, I had the answer. If anything the City is more captivating, as the light declines: more secrets come to the fore, less nudity, and more soul.
