Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by Susan Kane and can be found right here on this very blog.

This week's words/prompts are: 

1. interfere 2. light 3. woozy 4. fetch 5. smell 6. remain 

and/or: 

1. leap 2. candle 3. overview 4. officer 5. pain 6. wilderness

I have included Charlotte's colour of the month which is Salmon Pink

Here is my story:

"I can’t let a little kitchen fire interfere with my day. I’ve had some wilderness training, I can sort something out in there. Officer, please fetch me a torch so I can see to turn on the light."

 "Absolutely not", he declared. "Do you not remember how woozy you were from all the smoke when we dragged you out? The smell in there now would have Satan himself backing away, all the ashes and water, the residual smoke too, could cause you much more pain. You must remain here until the Ambulance takes you to the hospital to get checked out. It won’t be long now, they were right behind the Fire Truck and actually should have been here by now. I hope nothing has happened to it. Now tell me again how the fire started." 

"I was burning a scented candle when the cat decided to leap across the windowsill and just like that, poof! my lovely new salmon pink curtains were blazing! How many times do I have to tell you?"

 "Miss, I’m just keeping you talking to help clear your lungs. And you can’t go in there until it has been cleared by the inspector, probably tomorrow, we need to be sure there are no embers that could fire up again overnight. You’ll need to call your insurance too. Where is that ambulance? Scotty, get on the radio and see about that Ambulance, I hope it hasn’t crashed somewhere, although I suppose we would have heard that."
