Empty Pages - Episode 8

Initially there wasn't supposed to be an episode this week. I thought the extra time would make me productive. It didn't. I did have some form of withdrawal though, so here goes. Written over 4 hours, I think I've made up for numbers in word count. Psst: I don't know if that is fan fiction or what category it comes under - my last few attempts proved nobody understands when I try to be cryptic like @TheOtherBoban so going full on :) #53 Word Is there a word for it? When thinking of someone makes you happy. O r being reminded of them. Their favourite brand of (shudder) instant coffee. Their favourite football player. It has been years.

52 write ups in 7 weeks - something I am unable to believe myself. Big thanks to everyone sending my prompts, and also to those who are my earthing.

Nothing changed much for him except the the rise and ebb of the cash flow. He wasn't watching the sunrise to find the meaning of life. Or spend the moment with his lover. Or take photographs. He was there to sell food so others could do all those things. More so, so that his children would have food to eat. Small luxuries. Like an ice cream. Candyfloss. His only daughter's birthday was coming up. He would never admit he had favourites but she was the centre of his life. He had never managed to get her a gift for her birthday or a new dress. It killed him everyday to see her in hand-me-downs. His daughter deserved better, no, she deserved the best. The only mistake she had ever made was being his daughter maybe. He had to make more money. He would chase people asking them to buy his go...
