"I can't believe it." Chewing his fingernails, the rookie stared out the window. "The book's in our care for just one night, and someone goes and steals it!"
"Not to worry." The detective wore a #placid smile. "They only made off with a fake."
"So where's the #original?"
"In my car."
"That old banger?"
"It's a perfectly respect—"
"Sir!" The rookie pointed. "Someone's driving it away!"
Cascading through lifes frantic melee
My roughness shaped by the tumult
Lasting impressions are left
By words that resonate
With placid values
Live and let live
Be happy
Free love
Peace

The #MastoPrompt for Wednesday 16 April 2025 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.
