He expresses his gratitude to Seger and shares a YouTube link to the song.

Promptly continuing what I initially missed out.

The month of May is over, and that brought an end to the daily prompt exercise I had enjoyed so much.

Or did it?

Amy Marley promptly took the opportunity to write a story to recap all the fun. She shared the stories all of her friends created that. I am honored to be included in that list.

After reading her story, I realized that I didn’t jump into the fun until May the 8th. Ah-ha! I can do the first seven days of prompts retroactively. Thanks, Amy, for the inspiration.

So, here we go. The prompt for day one was: Into the Wind.

Being the weirdo I am, the first thought to cross my mind was against the wind.

Against the Wind, it is for using the prompt Into the Wind. My undying gratitude to Mr. Seger.
