M3 Inspired Hot Flash (Brokenhearted)


Smoke billowed from the rubble as the workers attempted to pull it away. Hope of survivors was slim. It was their job to search until every drop of hope had been exhausted.

The workers dared not sleep for fear that it would cause them to leave someone brokenhearted.

 What is the rubble the workers are sifting through? What caused the destruction? How will breaks lead to broken hearts?

The word is brokenhearted, the limit for January's hot flashes are 50 words. This post comes in a single word under at 49. Click the link, M3 will open in a new tab and you can find the instructions.

We all know moments make the difference between finding the bodies alive and dead. My guess? It was an industrial accident.

Yes, they do. Industrial accident? Possible, surely possible.

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.

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!
