bounded by city:
look up to boundless sky,
& the mind soars.

PROMPT: Emergency Plan
Create an emergency preparedness plan.
For Zombies: walk briskly.
For Global Thermonuclear War: Find a nice place near a likely ground zero for instantaneous demolecularization — so as to avoid slow death by radiation sickness & nuclear winter starvation.
For Climate Change: carry a Nomex suit, a rubber raft, and an umbrella.
For aliens: assume Roddenberry was right until proven otherwise. (If Hawking was right, we’re screwed anyway.)
For all else: maintain a peppy, can-do attitude.

PROMPT: Word Over Use [i.e. Weasel Words]
What is a word you feel that too many people use?
“Pre-owned” or any other weasel word used to: a.) make people feel better about a decision they shouldn’t feel bad about in the first place. b.) squeeze more money out of the pockets of dimwitted sheeple. Especially when the people developing / using the term were the ones who (re: item “a”) established the psychological taint in the first place, and (re: item “b”) used said taint to manipulate more money out of purchasers of the competing product. [And – having maximized that manipulation – decided to back over the original victims to shake out some more dimes.]
As far as I’m concerned, users of “pre-owned” and similar weasel words should be treated, legally, in the same way as con men who bilk special needs kids or simpletons out of their life savings (because as far as I can see, that’s all they’re doing.)

PROMPT: Peace
What brings you peace?
Being in the now, and feeling – but not feeding – emotional sensations.
