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.

PS I completely forget about the stinking captcha. It is where my original comment went. Ugh.

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.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
