Reservations (75)


The flight was late getting into the Montgomery Airport; her luggage was somewhere over the ocean; now she only wanted a hot shower and a meal. She could hear the violins playing, taste the champagne and feel the evening air kissing her skin.

A hot shower and a phone call later she was screaming at the walls. That bubble-headed bleach blonde would never work again. How hard was it to make reservations?

Why is she so upset at the reservation not being made? Why can't she just order room service?

The word is reservations, the limit was 75 words. This post comes in just under the wire at 72 words. Click the link to be taken to M3 and official rules for the Flash in the Pan challenge.

What is the fun in staying in the room with room service when you could be SEEN?

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!
