Such Wisdom?
Say something apparently wise (even if it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.) I have left an example.

Worship

There is one true religion for all...this true religion exists only in your mind and we all pray in its temple daily.

Challenge
Write a story from the perspective of an old lady whose cat just died... but don't mention the cat.
I may have stolen this from a book... You aren't allowed to mention the cat, or any thing/animal dying. A extra challenge is if someone reads it and has no idea about the challenge, it makes perfect sense.

the end

I sit, and shuffle the deck of cards. Maybe I can win at solitaire this time. Looking at my smiling, whiskered cookie jar, I think about the grandkids coming later, and who the jar reminds me of, and how I wish I had a shovel.

beach road

When i was young we ran together -- i, the eldest son, was in middle school

and You taught in a seminary -- we were both young but it's a difference of degrees. Beginning of middle school and beginning of middle age in earnest.

On the road near the beach, we ran three miles -- you measured the distance with your car's odometer -- distance we measured with our feet.

We always finished at sunset, and it was beautiful over the ocean

as the sun sank away and we whirled with the beautiful Earth into

nascent darkness and the bats flew

up and over the fields, and it would remain this way until the

dark swallowed you

one bite at a time.

"I heard she's dating a human." His eyes studied her as she walked by.

"Who cares? A human cannot satisfy her needs."

"Yeah, we android have more stamina than any human, but...." He trailed off.

"It's the expandable body part thing, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"she'll get tired of that and come running back to you."

"By then, she'll be walking bowlegged."
