Chaos, a Family Game!
Written for "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.. Prompt: Chaos Never Dies Day - probably hectic

I'm playing ketchup catch-up since I've fallen behind in W.C and in the November blog challenge over at the Nana Bar. Why, chaos! Especially on Thursday, the day I'm making up for with this entry.

It started Wednesday eve when my sister-in-law called my wife to inform her of a family meeting. My mother-in-law, who is elderly, has her house up for sale and has moved into an assisted apartment. Some of her children approved, others did not, and the feuding began.

To keep this short, things have progressed to some family members not speaking to others, concerns about how the money from the sale of the house will be divided, and a lot of greed, pettiness, and differences of opinions of what is best for mom.

The family meeting was on Thursday, so I drove my wife over to attend and after a few hours my mom-in-law stated how she wanted everything to be settled. In the end, there was agreement and if everyone sticks to the agreement, hopefully, things will go smoothly.

As I sat down to write this entry, chaos seemed fitting for a topic. After the meeting, the stress, and the anxiety, my wife and I took some time to evaluate the outcome and found peace and relaxation in listening to some favored music and a few drinks.

A proud member of "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
