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.

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!
