Today's OneWord: Specific

Specific by Belinda Roddie "Where were you?" I scowled. "Out," I replied. My dad stared at me through his murky glasses. "You're going to have to be more specific," he growled. "I don't need to be anything, asshole. I'm an adult. And I was out." He looked ready to hit me. He wouldn't. But he looked like he wanted to. Meanwhile, my mom continued washing dishes, whistling a dissonant tune.

Today's OneWord: Lower

Lower by Belinda Roddie "You're an asshole, George," grumbled Emily. "I mean, could you be any lower? Could you be any more of an entitled snotbag who thinks every girl should fall to her knees in front of you and suck your dick?" George said nothing, looking at his murky reflection in his beer glass. This only encouraged Emily. "Seriously, man," she continued. "You want to be desirable without actually showing desirability. You're a joke. You're not even 'nice.'"

Today's OneWord: Passing

Passing by Belinda Roddie No one told Heather about her father's passing. She only found out through social media, and once the news hit, she saw more than just red. She drove like a bat out of Hell to her mother's house and almost kicked down the door with one solitary steel-toed boot. Her mother was not fazed by her daughter's rage. "You didn't deserve to be there for his memorial," she commented. "He wouldn't want a dyke seeing him lowered into the ground."

Today's OneWord: Slowly

Slowly by Belinda Roddie Silently, steathily, I enter the bedroom where you have been sleeping for well over twelve hours. Gradually, you'll awake, but I don't want to force your necessary slumber to end after so many days of restlessness and fear. When you're ready, I will hold you again. I will kiss you. And slowly, but surely, you'll find the confidence to make love to me again. But I will not push it. I would never. And I will wait until you are absolutely, one hundred percent ready.

Today's OneWord: Shot

" Take the shot!" roared the sergeant. "I think I'd rather take a shot of vodka," I groaned, but I pulled the trigger and let the rifle shake violent in my arms. I missed - naturally - but the fact that I followed orders seemed to satisfy the maniac that was my superior. "Nice try, bucko!" he cackled. "Shoulda been quicker!" "Should be less of a dick," I muttered under my breath.

Today's OneWord: Episode

Episode by Belinda Roddie Tune in next episode for the thrilling conclusion of whatever this garbage is! Will Charlie have another episode over the feng shui of his new apartment? Will his gay lover Kevin finally confess that he only has one testicle? Will Carl actually accept that Charlie is his true brother? What the fuck am I watching here?

Today's OneWord: Slight

Slight by Belinda Roddie Ricki felt a slight pain in her arm as she twisted the screw in place. This was nothing new; she had fractured her ulna two years ago, and even after the cast was off, nothing felt right around the elbow. She would ice it and pop some painkillers later, washing them down with a couple of martinis. "That shelf turning out good?" her husband grunted from the couch, where he looked more and more like a gelatinous blob each passing day.
