Jade started out pretty green about storytelling.
However, after receiving sage advice to try the #30words30day challenge, she now pines for the daily prompt and (o)lives to tell viridescent tales.

Skyrocketing share prices…
Speeding gas guzzlers…
Buzzing leaf blowers…
Spiralling stress levels…
But after 2026’s great fossil fuel deadlock, the only ‘zooming’ left was slow meetings around solar-powered digital campfires.

Sand skitters across silent highways.
Clouds breeze through empty skies.
Islands of humanity prosper amidst vibrant nature…
…connected only by the invisible web since the great fuel deadlock of 2026.

That first night, the unfamiliar living room was devoid of ex-sofas and partners.
In time, she would upgrade her furniture, but not the sweet silence on coming home to herself.

Hoping to impress, Dave books the poshest restaurant.
However, Natasha declines the amuse bouche because she’s cilantrophobic, gluten-intolerant and allergic to dairy.
And so begins the priciest meal never eaten.

The 8.00 am news bulletin mentions the ‘Godzilla’ El Nino again.
“Why are there are so many natural disasters happening?” Tilly asks.
“Because they’re not natural,” Josie sighs. “They’re man-made.”

It’s dark, crowded, sometimes quiet, sometimes exuberant, but Josie sits patiently for two whole hours.
For, of course, her Timmy’s three-minute performance on stage is the only one that counts.

Though appetising to continue, the storyline about Don Ut and his lost brother Cron Ut has crumbled.
I mean, focaccia’s sake, these days, they’re muffin but a recipe for disaster.

Beneath winter sunshine, Estelle re-arranged the truths of her unpredictable life.
Instead of balance, there was none. Instead of certainty, chaos. And instead of grief, love had somehow come again.

After eight loyal years, Ken’s glad he adopted Bruce from the dog rescue.
This is despite starting off with an indoor feather storm and the Great Cushion Massacre of 2018.

Jed peels the outer layer off first, setting it aside for replacement later.
Underneath, the warm, smooth surface has not been warped with age or misuse.
“Size seven,” he confirms.

When Graham rediscovered homebrewing, Hannah’s focus was distracted from her evening prosecco by the malty explosions of bottles beneath the house.
So when he started burping, she fled for cover.

Contemplating his battered reflection, Don Ut had a hole in his heart.
He knew Cron Ut was flaky, but as brothers, surely they could bake this world a butter place.

Scenic slopes transform into muscle-burning torture…
Gentle sunshine becomes a blinding blister maker…
Waterbottles turn into heavy, albeit life-saving, bricks…
…All because no one checked the spare wheel before leaving.

For 15 years, we partied hard during our death metal tours.
Screeching, destruction, messy bodily fluids…
But nothing… NOTHING I tell you… prepared me for the savagery of raising toddlers.

Slimy lettuce?
Half-eaten mini-tubs of mango chutney with… pebbly rice?
Bluer-than-normal vegan blue cheese on… bendy crackers?
One decluttered fridge makes a perfect dinner party for the worm farm’s residents.

Initially, the concept made Astoria retch
Could her imagination even fetch…
…Daily story by daily story,
Only 30 days left to reach glory
Maybe 365 30-worders ain’t such a stretch.

Slovenly, inebriated people snore upstairs.
Downstairs, uninvited house guests enjoy the unofficial after-party.
One takes a swim – in lightly oaked chardonnay. The other cockroaches scoff salami shreddings and tiramisu blobs.

Graceful, kind Princess Skye had a gruff, dragon-tackling sister called Agnes.
Their unusual contrast meant that princes travelled from far and wide to meet the beauty and the beast wrestler.
