It’s March 19, 2022. Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).
Today’s word is “ostracize.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. You will marvel at their creativity.

Ostracized Old Sam Adams Dies
Sam Adams
Was a lonely old man
Felt isolated from society
Felt ostracized.
Had no real friends anymore
Everyone he loved had died.
Except for a granddaughter
Who had killed his so,
Who he hated
With a passionate intensity.
He lived alone
But was losing his mind
Day by day.
He would go for a walk
Sit on a bench
Lost in thought
Watching the world walk by.
Seeing the young woman
He felt the stirring of lustful desire
Long-buried in his old worn out
90-year-old body.
He stood up
Smiled at a young woman
She smiled back at him.
Talked with him
And he felt something
A prick of a needle
As she injected him
With the poison
That killed him.
He asked,
why she did that?
With his dying words.
She said,
You don’t remember me?
That I am your only heir
To your millions?
He smiled, remembering her
As the drug-crazed sociopathic granddaughter
Who had stolen his son’s wealth
Before killing him in a suspicious accident.
And died
On the park bench.
She left him there
For the authorities to find.
She went home practicing her speech
For the police,
Who soon came to her door
With the sad news.
