    Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. Not sure how to participate? Here are the steps to get started.

    Source: Locked

    Flynn: As part of good habit, Dad would lock the doors to the house. Since I’m currently the designated driver to my parents, I would lock the doors to the car. I’ve only locked the car keys in the trunk of the Dad’s Mazda once but we were near our home for him to fetch the copies. As for employment, I feel like I’m “locked-out” from finding full-time work. I barely recall Corinne A, a Navajo and former AR manager, jokingly or chided unto moi that: “I’ll make sure you don’t find work in this town.” So when I took the lay-off package, former co-workers complained that she screamed at them. I heard her say that: “I don’t mind taking a lay-off”. I thought y’all should know.

    Kitty: What’s this all about? I should lock you up for ranting too much about things in the past. Why can’t you leave things in the past? Oh, I get it. You want justice. But that’s not gonna happen until you fulfill your service unto moi. As a matter of fact, I believe you don’t have a cat-flap door for me. Perhaps, you might want to crack a hole in the door or wall, in case I need to do my business outdoors. You know we felines don’t have opposable thumbs to grab things, such as door knobs, door locks, and other unnatural inventions created by humanz, such as key chains.

    https://dailypost.wordpress.com/discover-challenges/perspective/

    Flynn: My perspective stems from experience, contributors, and other incoming thoughts. I observe my environment using my five senses. Unfortunately, my observations then become tainted opinions because I look at the boarder picture and don’t pay attention to the details. And to this effect, I’ve might have created undue influence with my blog.

    Kitty: I need my own computer to start my own blog. You are putting words into my paws! I’m not being heard or fed fast enough. If you have the chance to understand the nine lives of felines, you’d live your one and only life to the fullest and not have to worry about what humanz think or worse, yet, feel about your rants. For example, you could express your freedom of speech with hisses and scratches. But those are only words. Hmm. Maybe, one day there would be a three-dimensional computer that would let you feel physical pain. Never mind.

    https://dailypost.wordpress.com/discover-challenges/memory/


    Flynn: I don’t remember much from my childhood, save the remaining family videos, color photos, and 35 mm negative films, which I have yet to scan and archive for keepsakes. I’m going paperless before my THREE scanning devices fail. These saved images will be my only memories besides the furnishing in this OLD house. When the time comes for senility, at least these precious memories will be floating around in the ‘clouds’.

    Kitty: Yeah, I’m hoping that this blog will outlast the last humanz. And I’m assuming, too, that these digitally-inspired remnants will survive the review by those alleged advanced ALIEN species. I’m sure they will have a good laugh at our expense, though I’m only a fictious character. I believe these weekly challenges will help fill-in your spare time until you find full-time work.

    https://dailypost.wordpress.com/discover-challenges/identity/


    Flynn: My current blogging identity has been anonymous – always. At one point in time, nay, many times in the past, I’ve wanted to reveal my true identity. However, after purchasing an upgrade earlier this year, I noticed that my ‘Basic Details’ showed my first and last name! I tried saving these fields as blank unsuccessfully and had to fill-in FLYNN B. instead.

    Kitty: You might want to inform your readers that I’m neither a real cat nor a pet of yours. I was created outta your imagination to model these dialogues after ‘The Cat Chronicles’ by Mrs. Swiss Human. With that outta the open for public scrutiny, have you figured out how to handle these weekly challenges when and if you ever start working full-time? I hope you won’t miss one challenge and making up for missed daily prompts doesn’t count. Boo!

    https://dailypost.wordpress.com/discover-challenges/risk/


    Addendum thought: Yesterday was Tuesday. Today is Wednesday. Tonight, I’ve discovered a new challenge to post! This is like the daily prompts, only done every Tuesday. Instead of titling my posts as ‘Daily Paws’, my big brain came up with ‘Discovery Tuesday’. To avoid duplication, the usual date format precedes this generic description.

    Flynn: Anyway, I’ve risked my entire life savings in speculative investments with a bunch of complete strangers. They were really reptilianz. They looked humanz, though.

    Kitty: Why, Flynn? Why did you do such a stupid thing?

    Flynn: Partly greed, partly curiosity. But mostly gullibility. I thought I was being nice. But I fell into a trance-like. government mind-controlled buzz inside my skull full of mush.

    Kitty: You could have helped your relatives instead. Are you insane?

    Flynn: That strong belief of helpfulness almost cost me my sanity. Nay, I would have been homeless had my parents not bailed me outta a personal hellhole.

    Kitty: What have you learned from this pathetic experience?

    Flynn: I wasted my time and effort as a cubicle slave. Outta my hard work – the blood, sweat, and tears became a realty leading to a rude awakening of a failed American Dream.

    Kitty: So you were dreaming of getting married, raising a family, owning a house, going on vacations, making a name for yourself, and realizing that you were duped?

    Flynn: In essence, yup. I can’t begin to tell y’all how relieved I am for crossing that line, crawling across that dessert, swimming through that storm.

    Kitty: What do you mean? You’re not making sense again.

    Flynn: I’ve learned that there’s a whole new world out there: it’s mostly illusory. Plus, I can no longer trust others or myself after what had happened.

    Kitty: That’s enough, Flynn! I’ve had enough with your pitiful stories. Feed me, now! Your service is required. Place your offerings at my paws and find your peace with me. There, there. Hush. Be quiet. I said, shut up, please!

    Fog | The Daily Post
    https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/fog/

    Flynn: Well, the weather is showing crispy clear blue skies with no sticky chemtrails. Our local radio news 1590 AM KSFO mentioned a chance of rain this Friday. So, I’m not counting on any fog since we live inland.

    Kitty: Fog doesn’t exist in meow either, for we felines see quite well in cold atmospheric air hanging with droplets of dew. I like dew. I could lick up water from the grassy area nearby my privacy patch of dirt. Can you please let me out now, so I can do my normal business?

    Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. Not sure how to participate? Here are the steps to get started.

    Source: Fake

    Flynn: Would y’all believe that the election system in politics is fake? Voters don’t decide the next presidential service provider in the United States. The delegates and electoral colleges are supposed to represent the ‘will of the people’. Unfortunately, the system is ‘rigged’ and ‘corrupt’. I guess that is why these politicians put on a fake smile to persuade its supporters to vote in preference for their candidate, which was already bought and paid for pushing their agenda.

    Kitty: I like the fictitious character from Alice in Wonderland: Cheshire Cat. I know it’s grin is fake because no natural feline would ever smile at all times, except when caught on camera during tummy rubs. You are fortunate enough not to have me smiling for your camera. I’m not that kind of feline, posing for public scrutiny and being ogled by complete strangers. But I know if I bare my teeth at you, you will understand to feed me promptly. And this, my dear Flynn, is by no means a fakery! I’m hungry now!

    Source: Closet

    Flynn: As mentioned in my old blog, I have lots of junk to clean outta our closets. Unfortunately, those belongings are the property of my parents and I don’t have express permission to get rid of those completely. I just wanna free myself from all these materialistic clutter. I may go vegan, too. But I’m not gonna come outta the closet to reveal all of my skeletons. And, no, I’m not a freak: I believe that ‘God is a boob man’, which I borrowed that from a recent SNL sketch or skit or whatever.

    Kitty: What? Why do you blog in riddles? That’s what I don’t like about your blog. You rant about nonsense. Why don’t you just talk about the birds and the bees and stop getting too personal about other businesses than your own! For once I’d like for you to blog about how you love me and how well-behaved you are as my slave. And although you are being subordinate at all time, tell your readers how forgiving a feline Kitty can be to those who cooperates. In return, I offer my tummy for rubs.

    Source: Breath

    Flynn: Wouldn’t it be wonderful to finally get over this bad cold, which is mostly sinus-related? I’m having difficulty breathing and any chance of fresh, cool breeze would be very much appreciated. Sometimes I wonder if those chemtrails, including any polluting petrol by-products, would ever go away. Then we would really be able to breath fresh, clean air. However, if often wonder how the natural belches of earth’s methane would affect our health.

    Kitty: Wow, Flynn! You really got some real problems. You could start out by detoxifying your body by eating less and exercising more. But I see that you can’t blog without sitting. Very well. We are in the same boat since we don’t get out as much as our wilder counterparts. I see you are blogging about breath. Come to think of it, your breath doesn’t smell as bad as in the past. Just don’t come near me or cough in my air space. It’s bad enough that I have to teach you about snorting out your boogers, brushing your tongues and throat and gargling with hydrogen peroxide. Can’t you learn on your own? What happened to your human instincts?

    Source: Disaster

    Flynn: Well, the mainstream ad nauseum media has spewed forth depressing news about earthquakes in Japan and in Ecuador. Japan had a death toll around forty; while Ecuador got the Skull and Bones number of 322. Besides these glum figures, everything, including policies in foreign, economic, financial, and social, is a disaster. Nothing seems to be done correctly and none can seem to “fix it”.

    Kitty: That’s too bad you humanz can’t fix your own problems. Y’all almost killed us felines because of your problems. But since we are gods, we can’t seem to die either. As it stands, y’all owe us your allotment of fresh fish and mice worth – eternity. And that’s just for starters. Your interest has been skyrocketing to infinity and beyond. That would probably explain your earthquakes.

    Source: Snap

    Flynn: There are humanz who have snapped, like the crazy bitch living next door to us. She probably isn’t taking enough catnip to control her episodes. There are humanz who are snappy, like the elderly living with me. I suppose I should wear a wrist band and snap that as a reminder that I’m nobody and that trying to live a rather normal and boring life is only a frame of mind.

    Kitty: Yes, please keep snapping that wrist band and don’t forget to set that reminder to feed your beloved species. When your pets call out to you, you drop everything and respond to their needs. They require your help, of course. So try not to be snappy in return. You will be strong for them. That is your purpose. You may now feed me. Thanks.
