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:
- filter
- squash
- sour
- dancing
- muscle
- breakthrough
Here is my short story:
As the music took over
her soul, Janet danced as if every muscle she had was weightless.
She'd had a breakthrough,
finally mastering that new move Ms. Gina had been teaching them.
Her mind filtered out
everything but the music and the dancing.
When she eventually
stopped for a break, Janet was grateful for the lemon squash her Mum had packed
into her snack bag. She took several sips of the delicious sourness before
crunching into the shiny red apple.
Her thoughts drifted
again to the dance and the feathery black and gold costumes Ms. Gina had described to
them.

Great job as usual.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine example of how to use given words. Well done.
ReplyDeleteDelores; thank you.
ReplyDeleteMimsie; thank you too.
You are doing beautifully, and improving with each selection. Well done River.
ReplyDeleteThe Wicked Writer; thank you, high praise from a real writer.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Another terrific job. "Lemon squash", huh? I've eaten lemons, and I've eaten squash, but lemon squash? Sounds like an interesting combination. I trust it's kinda like what we call lemonade?
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Susan; lemon squash is probably most like home made lemon cordial. Juice from real lemons, sweetened with sugar and diluted with water. I think it would be what kids sell at home made lemonade stands. What I know as lemonade is that commercial fizzy too-sweet stuff with no lemon juice at all in it. Orange squash is the same, but with oranges.
