Flash in the Pan: Egress

He wanted her out, it was a daily habit for him to scream it at her. Let her try to leave him and the beatings began. She was desperate to get away from him. Hope dwindled from her very soul as she to think that she was never going to get out alive.

She was confused did he want her to egress or did he want her to stay with him forever. No matter, she knew what she had to do. Once dinner was served tonight he’d never lay a hand on her again.

Are they dating, married or father and daughter? Why will her problems be over after dinner is served?

Because she poisoned him. He is a sugar daddy who rescued her from prostitution, or so she thought.

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!
