Wednesday's Words on a Friday
On Wednesdays, Delores,
from A Feathered Nest has a meme which she calls
Words for Wednesday.
She puts up a selection
of six words which we then use in a short story, if we are able.
Sometimes I look at her
words and nothing at all comes to mind.
This week's words are:
- Queasy
- Flames
- Blanket
- Foul
- Blasted
- Pie
Here is my short story:
Sophie wrapped the blanket
tighter around herself as she stared into the flames burning in the
fireplace.
Vomiting always gave her
the chills. She wondered what was causing this? Could it have been that blasted
pie she'd eaten for dinner two nights ago?
Ben had picked them up
on his way home from the footy as a surprise and she'd eaten one to please him.
Maybe it had been a little..."off"?
Pies weren't her favourite food and Sophie very rarely ate one.
Ben had eaten the other
two and he seemed fine, but then he'd always had a cast iron stomach.
Sophie on the other hand
was still feeling queasy and her mouth tasted quite foul in spite of the cup
of tea she was sipping at.
If she wasn't better by
tomorrow there'd be a visit to Doc Thompson first thing in the morning.

Pies will do that.
ReplyDeleteMerle......
Hmmmm...I wonder if he poisoned the pie?
ReplyDeleteWell done! Those pies are causing lots of problems!! Poison? Surely not. Just the difference between the two metabolisms perhaps.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant story, well done.
ReplyDeleteMerlesworld; here's a secret, it wasn't the pie...
ReplyDeleteDelores; no poison involved.
Mimsie; there's another surprise cause entirely.
The Wicked Writer; thank you, it's an unfinished story to leave people wondering.
Any more guesses? Anyone?
My guess is that Ben did have quite a lot to do with her queasiness, and that all will be revealed - oh in about eight or nine months...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant take on the challenge Delores set.
Elephant's Child; you've got it!
ReplyDeleteGood job, and you showed much more restraint than I would have with these words. I mean, "blasted" and "foul"? OY! (It doesn't help a bit that I think farts are funny...)
ReplyDeleteSusan; I think a fart post using these words would be funny and you should post one for us.
