Hot Flash: Return

Sending the paperwork in was the least of the foundation's worries. The check had came back, insufficient funds. They were hoping to return the funds to the investors, but they had vanished. The dream was dead.
Where did the money go? Did they know the funds were not there when they wrote the check? Where they hoping for the deposit to magically appear? What were the funds for?
The word is return, this hot flash comes in at 36 of the 50 word limit. Visit M3 for the official rules and learn how to be included in the next edition of Flash in the Pan.

See, what I saw was a news report of some schmuck handing a charity a HUGE cardboard check... which bounced when deposited. I always see the criminal element. :P

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!
