Chinook winds blow in, creating havoc and sucking the moisture from the land. Their coming visit announced by the arch in the sky - aka: A Chinook Arch. I arrive from out west. Scarcely heard as I tickle the land with my dance. But I am not happy with childish games. I’ve lost interest in playing to please those I encounter. I am a force to be reckoned with, ignoring the pleas for me to stop. I have little care about the consequences. I come to eat the snow, drink the ponds dry, and add fuel to wild fires. And when I’m ready, I move on, disappearing on the horizon like the setting sun. But I will return on a whim, for I am the Chinook Wind. March 28, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about disappearance. It can be an event, act, or subtle theme. Who or what disappears? Does it fade or explode? Can it be explained or experienced?

![]() She stood at the end of the table next to the couple who had finished their meal. Laying the bill where the man could see it she started to count. Sixteen ten, and five, ten, seventy-five, one, and two, make twenty. The man nodded. Smiling, he handed her the money. “Someone taught you well.” She beamed. “The cash register at my family’s feed store isn’t ready to be replaced. Whoever works there has to learn to make change and count it back, too.” “Do you still work there?” “Yes sir, when I go home for the university’s breaks.”
March 21, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story to reflect the theme, “ready for a change.” Who is ready and why? How does the change unfold?

#lostartofcountingchange My imagination slithers and dithers around the inside of my skull as I read yet another writing prompt. The thoughts spill over onto the paper breathing life into the story. The words keep appearing, and I know full well 99 words, no more no less, will not be enough to finish the tale. And that's when I knew this journey would need two chapters, each written in 99 words. Chapter One
chapter Two
March 7, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a robotic writer. Is it an analogy or a battery-operated i-writer? Is it possible? What will happen if robots write?
