Waitress (100)

The doors were still locked for another twenty minutes but there was a line around the block. Hundreds had shown up for the grand opening and they looked hungry. The capacity was only a hundred people; hopefully the tables would turn quickly.



Wages were low in the area, but so was the cost of living. A decent waitress could make enough to save for retirement without worrying about the bills. She checked her top and unlocked the doors. 

What is so special that there is a line around the block? Is she checking to make sure her top is buttoned or unbuttoned?

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!
