Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still


The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
The word is pepper and the limit for this particular round is 75 words. This post is 71 words, click on the link to go to the official rules for the Flash Fiction challenge.

I love this. I despise pepper. I have 218 things I use in place of it...unless it is cayenne. Mmm. Cayenne.

Thanks, and I'm going to see if I can't have sense enough to do away with the captcha, they annoy me. I have no idea why it's here. I'll check my settings.

Crystal (100)

He kept shouting out over the newscaster. The noise was ringing in her ears, making her head pound and her ears build pressure. Blood pressure rising with her temper she picked up the glass and flung it. “What the hell are you doing?” “Trying to get you to shut up.” “You could have killed me.” “It’d have been better than breaking my crystal.” _________________________________________________________________________________ Who is she? Why would she rather kill him then break her crystal? The word is crystal . The limit for this post was 100 words, this one comes in at 63. Click the link to be taken to M3 and the official rules.
