Nancy looked at the selection of vases she had made at a local pottery class. She set them on the table to decide who would get which vase. She kept the best one for herself, and then the rest would go to family and friends.
Just then, her cat, Thomas, jumped up on the table and knocked over most of the vases she had made, including her favorite one. She couldn’t imagine having to make them all over again. She picked up the pieces and surveyed what remained. She chose another favorite for herself and Ron and trashed the rest.

Rules of the hop: Write 6 Sentences. No more. No less. Use the current week’s prompt word. Link up at Wednesday’s post. Link goes live at 6:00 pm through Saturday late… Spread the word and put in a good one to your fellow writers.
PROMPT WORD: ENGAGEMENT
**********
I looked at the sparkling diamond on my ring finger. Tonight is the engagement party we have been planning for the last several months and so far, I am sitting alone, waiting for Tony to arrive. The guests are starting to approach me and ask where Tony is.
So far, I can only tell them that I am waiting for him to arrive, but I don’t tell them that he is not answering his phone or texts. Suddenly, a text comes through, and it is Tony. The message reads, “I am sorry I am not there, but I have decided that I can’t do this, and so I’m afraid I must break off our engagement.”

If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.). Today’s word is puncture.
As we approached the city’s limits, the sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the road. I saw the car in front of me suddenly swerve. He pulled over to the side of the road and the chap got out and inspected his tires.
“Are you alright, sir,” I called to him without getting out of my car.
“It looks like a puncture in my tire. It is flat.”
“Do you have road service? I am not very good at changing tires, and I have my girlfriend with me, and we are going out for dinner.” I glanced at Cindy, who was applying lip gloss without a care.
“My nails are chipped,” she told me. I need to get to the nail salon as soon as possible. Do we have to help this guy?” Cindy wasn’t interested in helping someone else. She was quite selfish most of the time.
The chap stood up after checking his trunk for a jack to change his tire. “I will have to call my road service. I don’t have a jack, and the spare tire is flat. Thanks for stopping; you can go ahead and leave.”“Alright, sir. I will leave you to wait for your car service. I have to get going, as we planned on getting dinner somewhere, and I have been looking forward to pork chops for dinner. I have to get Cindy to the nail salon first, though. Good luck with your tire.”
