My Daily Prompt Freewrite.png

Intensity was so cute when she was a little girl. Her sparkling blues eyes could twist her daddy to do anything she wanted him to do. Her mom wasn't that happy about it since to every one of yer nos, daddy came up with a yes in no time.
Intensity knew that she was cute and used that to be the first in everything. Somehow, even though she couldn't dance at all, she won the popularity first prize in the county fair dance competition.
Soon, she was so used to being first and so was everyone else that many didn't even bother to enter a competition anymore when Intensity was part of the deal. Why bother. All knew who the winner would be.
As an adult, a young adult, maybe a teenager- the records are a little faded and one has to dive deep into the stacks of the library to find all the pertinent information- Intensity left home. She left her place of glory where her blue eyes and blond locks had given her everything she wanted. Everything she wanted!! That is what everyone thought. That is what everyone was talking about. All the time.
Intensity left the town and she left her name and everything she knew behind. She cut her hair, all of it. A bald head, a long black coat, and sunglasses became her armor as she started traveling from one big city to the next.
Now, she called herself Destiny and the funny thing is that people still gave her anything she asked for. Soon she understood the only way for her to be free is to stop asking.

Loved what you did with the prompt. I could never had thought about using it as the character's name. I hope intensity/Destiny finds what she's after.

I hope so too. She could have an interesting story 😀

Deep. As deep as the blue of Intensity's eyes. And as deep as the black of Destiny's sunglasses. There was a mini-arc of The Magicians in which a man who is the son of a god, but doesn't know it, has achieved great success. It crushes him to learn that his fortune is not built from the goodness of deeds and the greatness of his intellect, but rather from the inheritance of his godhood. I think (hope) he learns a similar lesson, but we stopped watching that show.

That must be frustrating when you think you got it all together, working hard and such - then it turns out you are a god. Hate when that happens Lol

How are you?

Hanging in there. We're up in Everett at the moment helping @stinawog's mom as best we can. We'll be up here again for most of July, so we won't be coming down to San Diego for Comic-Con this year.
How are you?

Did something happen I missed? Or are you helping with the grandkids?

Doing good. Leaving on the 20th to see Mike and then, we are going to travel together. too bad you are not coming for Comic Con - but maybe we find a different excuse.

Have you heard from Sebastian?

Stina's father passed away. Yeah, Sebastian and I chat regularly! Tell Mike we say hi.

A great fairy tale. I really loved it.

Thank you so much!

What a conundrum to get everything one asks for. I think that would become hard to bear, too, as so many don't believe that they ever get what they want. Her cross was the gift of recieving. I suppose it's a hallow victory if it can't be felt as an earned win because we feel a sense of accomplishment when we earn our prizes. Excellent fiction.
