It is a made-up story just to practise writing
-----
Capitan Hope was immersed in her thoughts as usual. She was trying to remember all the details of that day, when Marshal Pauls entered the room.
Hi Hope. Are you alright?
Yes, I’m fine. Paul, I really need to go back, I know they need me.
You know the rules. The committee will not approve it, your mission is accomplished there.
But... my children… they are so young.
Sorry, Hope.
She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.
20 years ago she was sent to investigate an anomaly zone. She was supposed to integrate in the local community and find out the details. She had been collecting and analysing the data for several years and everything was under control until she met a man who lived nearby. It was love at first sight. Although she knew that it was not allowed, she married the man. She also knew that the committee could force her to return anytime, but she still had about 10 years to accomplish her mission and thought that she would figure something out. She did not. By the time they called her back, she had given birth to two children. It was a car accident that opened the portal. She knew that she would never see her family again.

Cleaning
Prompt #18
Hey, even writers and creative artists have to do housework sometimes. Write about doing laundry, dishes, and other cleaning activities.
I think, that sometimes cleaning activities can help you to cope with stress because you transform your negative energy into something useful. You can clear your mind while cleaning your house. My favourite household chore is washing the dishes - I don't know why, maybe because running water can make you relaxed.

Dictionary Definition
Prompt #17
Open up a dictionary to a random word. Define what that word means to you.
The word is "enigmatic".
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, enigmatic - "relating to, or resembling an enigma : mysterious. An enigma is a puzzle, a riddle, a mystery. The adjective enigmatic describes what is hard to solve or figure out." [https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/enigmatic-2018-09-12]
I'm not an enigmatic person at all, I've chosen this word because I just like the way it is pronounced. When I read the word "enigmatic", characters and places of Tolkien's or Carroll's imaginary worlds come to my mind.

Addict

Everyone’s addicted to something in some shape or form. What are things you can’t go without?
I think, I'm addicted to learning, especially to learning of foreign languages. Sometimes I get really upset about the fact that I will not be able to study all fields I'm interested in and will not be able to speak all language I like. I can study for hours without getting tired, I simply enjoy it. I wish I had more free time for it.

The Letter Poem
Prompt #13
Write a poem using words from a famous letter or a letter from your own collection.
I want to be with you, but cannot do it,
I want to see you, but I can’t as well.
What can I do? To write to you?
But you will never read it, won’t you, mum?
So many years passed, but I still remember
Your scent, your motions and your smile.
I wish you were with me, I miss you,
But all I have – your photo in my bag.
I was so little then to understand you,
And now, I think, I understand you more.
I wish I knew you better as a person,
I wish you hadn’t left our home that day.

Greeting
Prompt #11
Write a story or poem that starts with the word “hello”.
Hello, my friend, I’m glad to see you,
We haven’t seen for many years,
The sun, the sea – they are the same,
But we, my friend, we’ve changed a bit.
Your hair is with silver lines,
There are some wrinkles on my face,
We’ve chosen our own paths,
But both of them were like a maze.
What have we done?
A lot of things.
What will we do?
I don’t know yet.
But only thing I know for sure –
Life is a miracle, my friend.

Friendship
Prompt #10
Write about being friends with someone.
I do not have many friends, but I'm lucky to have true friends. It so intereresting how we become friends with a complete stranger, sometimes this person even could become like a family for you. I think, it is important to have a friend, who will understand you and who will help when you are in a trouble. Yesterday I had a phone call from my friend, who lives now in a different city - she called and said: "You know, I was worried about you, is everything OK?". I felt bad that day, and her call cheered me up, we were talking for several hours, and we have discussed a wide range of topics. She is a very talented and clever person, and it is always a pleasure to have a conversation with her. We have been knowing each other for 10 years, but it seems to me that I have known her all my life.
