Hot Flash Wine (50)


Henry waited hours for Eve to arrive, hope dissipating as the hours ticked slowly by. She had never been late before, maybe she was standing him up.


The evening wore on, his agitation increased until he threw the bottle; wine ran down the wall like blood.

Why is he throwing the wine? Did Eve stand him up or is something wrong?

The word is wine and this offering comes in at 46 words. Four words below the 50 word limit. Click the link for more information on the Flash in The Pan Challenge.

She is missing. She ate at the diner without her tablecloth and got food poisoning and is too sick to show up.

Bwahahaha!

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!
