tuesday pointless miscellany
1. There is a staircase behind my desk that says STAIR C. I do not know where it goes and am having a lot of trouble not just going and walking down those stairs out of pure curiosity. There is absolutely nothing bad about this plan at all, of course.
(This is an old building and people have died in it, just for the record.)
2. If anyone does want to throw flashfic prompts at me, please do. I realize a grand total of two people know any of my characters because I never post fiction here; I keep meaning to make a second account for that and am now just like, well, people can skip it if they don't want to read it. So ... I will pretty much take anything at all that you think might construe a prompt -- except an exact scenario, that is more like a suggestion -- and we'll see what comes out.
3. Have planned a graveside trip for Father's Day; am not sure if I should tell my mother or not? Because she might not like that I see the completed headstoneyes my dad died in 2016 we're slow and it's hard to get there in bad weather which was most of the last year before her. She is in Michigan. I am not. I would prefer to be, but if I am going to be without any of my blood-family on such a painful day, I will have to do for myself.

While carrying something made of steel, having also preemptively called "I'm just curious, I'm totally down to make friends or to politely ignore each other once I see where this goes, don't start none won't be none".

I mean, to be fair: I have a huge THING about refusing to treat this shit as ~*untouchably scaaaary*~, I have pretty big guardians, and also I'm kind of a reckless twerp sometimes. XD But still! I mean, if you don't check you have an unknown threat potentially at your back!

Hope your graveyard trip is as somber as you want and as pastoral as possible. (Some People* intentionally wait to put up headstones!)

Oh, yes, um, we were supposed to have an unveiling after a year ... it was more like nearly two and we never managed to make the ceremony happen ... I think we won some kind of rabbinical award for slowness. Though we did have a sheloshim visit! There was just no headstone. Some folks who couldn't make the funeral (it was tiny) came out. But I can imagine my dad just thinking the entire thing is hilarious. Judaism does leave room for being slow. XD Also that's a gorgeous website I wish I'd found when we were actually dealing with making shiva happen. My husband not being Jewish made for an interesting few days when we had one person who could use chairs, bathe and go outside and the rest of us had to stay in (my dad would also have laughed at that).

PROMPTS:
that year, summer didn't come at all.
this heart that appeared on my lollipop
the light in my eyes is strange
i can't see where the sun is rising
dead man's float
