Flash in the Pan: Embark

Coloring pages lined the table, and brightly colored paper bordered the bulletin board. Another year was starting, soon the students would embark on a journey of learning. This would be the first time some of them had ever seen a book, she hoped they appreciated them.
What is it about the start of school that makes parents so happy? Will the children appreciate the books?

The word is embark and this post comes in at 46 of the 50 word limit. Visit M3 for the official rules and word list to be included in the next edition of Flash in the Pan: Finding the Path.
Thank you for sharing this post with the hashtags #flashfiction and #flashinthepan

Me, too, as sad as it is. I cannot imagine having children and no books. Simply frightening.

He kept shouting out over the newscaster. The noise was ringing in her ears, making her head pound and her ears build pressure. Blood pressure rising with her temper she picked up the glass and flung it. “What the hell are you doing?” “Trying to get you to shut up.” “You could have killed me.” “It’d have been better than breaking my crystal.” _________________________________________________________________________________ Who is she? Why would she rather kill him then break her crystal? The word is crystal . The limit for this post was 100 words, this one comes in at 63. Click the link to be taken to M3 and the official rules.
