Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Prompt: 5th April 2026

Denise aka girlieontheedge is our host and you can find out more HERE.
PROMPT WORD:  RELAY

“I hate to relay bad news, but I’m afraid we are closing your department and will have to let you go.”
Sandra looked at her supervisor, who had never liked her and had always made things difficult, her face not showing the slightest concern at hearing this bombshell.
“Of course there will be a severance package based on your time here, and this will be included in your final pay check at the end of the month.”
Sandra stood and offered her hand.
“Thank you,” was all she said as she turned to leave, but as soon as the door closed behind her, she allowed herself to smile.
She had already been offered a higher position under the new management, and this time next month would be holding the same conversation with her current superior but from the other side of the table.

Song Lyric Sunday: April 5th 2026

Jim Adams is our host and this week the theme is to find a song written or performed by someone who was born in the month of April.

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist known for his distinctive and powerful voice, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. Orbison’s most successful periods were in the early 1960s and the late 1980s. Many of Orbison’s songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male performers projected strength. He performed with minimal motion and in black clothes, matching his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses.
