Imagine an older two-storey wooden house. The roof is steep and gabled, with horizontal siding along a small attic window near the peak. Below is a covered front porch with a railing, several narrow windows, and a central front door. The window to the right of the door is larger, made up of three glass panels. The curtains are pulled back, showing the silhouettes of a family. The window to the left of the door is a small single pane of glass. It’s dark, but a lone figure is visible within. The porch is reached by a short flight of steps. A straight walkway leads from the porch steps toward another set of steps. Half of the walkway is made from stone, the other half is made of concrete pads. The concrete is chipped and cracked. The stonework is well-worn. The walkway is bordered by a simple lawn, and two flowerbeds sit on either side of the porch steps.

To peace in the past, from an unfamiliar future: a call that can’t pick up. Read 102 words on The Davis Daily.

You’re standing in front of a stone wall. In the middle of the wall is a tall archway with an ornate gate. Unlike the stone used for the wall, the arch is made of brick. Flowers line the top of the arch, covering most of the brickwork. The gate is made of decorative iron rods. The rods are bent into circular shapes, some look like the letter s. A pathway leads up to the gate. You notice it’s cracked in random places. Wild grass grows on either side of the pathway. It’s not long, but it’s unkempt. Beyond the wall are two trees, one to the left of the gate and one to the right of the gate. The trees are tall with bushy canopies. The tree to the right has a diamond-shaped hole in the middle of it; maybe it’s a bird’s nest, or a squirrel’s den.

Some fatherly advice

How to find your heaven: go through hell. Read a lesson of faith in 166 words on The Davis Daily.

A robot head wears a human brain like a hat. The brain is pink, as you’d expect, with black rigid lines firing throughout, acting like brain waves. The robot’s head is grey, like the colour of stainless steel. It has two large, round eyes. Oddly, they are blue and very human-like. The robot doesn’t have a mouth, only two nuts and bolts on either side of a metal plate. The metal plate connects to the robot’s neck, which is made up of multiple rectangular pieces of metal stacked atop each other. The robot is attempting to mimic life, but it only stares back at you soullessly.

With a prompt from my brain

Why write and create when you're an outdated human using archaic tools: read 436 words prompted by the brain behind The Davis Daily.

Three ovals with thick, black lines intersect to create the logo for the television show, The Big Bang Theory. Two of the ovals cross in a x shape, while the third oval lies on top, straight up and down. There’s a black circle in the middle of the ovals, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the left, another black circle on the oval that’s angled to the right, and another black circle on the oval running straight up and down. Below the ovals is the word “bazinga!” in big block letters followed by an exclamation point. A thick black lightning bolt runs horizontal beneath the word bazinga.

How to hit hard with the ‘real’ stuff in your writing and storytelling: read 259 words from the heart of a human on The Davis Daily.

A black and white pencil drawing depicts two people sitting in a boat on a small lake. A lone house sits in the background along the shoreline. A tree stands tall beside the house, with low brush and bushes growing next to it. The sun is full in the sky. The shadows of three birds are silhouetted in front of the sun, flying off into the distance and disappearing into the horizon. A small country church sits atop a ledge to the right of the lake. A steeple reaches up from the roof. A fence winds along the cliffside and unkempt grass grows next to it. A tall tree with big branches full of leaves is behind the church, with another trio of birds flying off into the skyline.

Good morning

Why go fishing when you wake up angry: catch a little peace of mind in 443 words on The Davis Daily.

The image is a close up of three hand-drawn pencils. The pencils are laying flat with the tips angled towards each other. Each tip is broken, with bits of lead strewn about the ends of the pencils. The image suggests a writer or artist is trying to master their craft, taking multiple attempts to get a particular piece of writing or artwork right.
