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 here

I haven't managed to use Charlotte's colour of the month this time, salmon pink

This week's words/prompts are: 

1. oppose 2. child 3. mind 4. kitchen 5. foundation 6. excavation 

and/or: 

1. exceed 2. exploration 3. enterprise 4. escape 5. entertain 6. efficient

Here is my story:

The excavation site was buzzing with excitement. For weeks the senior archaeologists and several students had been slowly and efficiently uncovering much of the foundation, then this morning Barbara had unearthed some broken earthenware pieces and what appeared to be blackened stones indicating a kitchen had been much nearer than first thought. “This find exceeds all our expectations,” said John Brighton. “Surely the investor cannot now oppose an extra few months of exploration here.”

“I shall entertain him with thoughts of being in the Archaeological News, most people like to see their photos in the media,” replied Barry King. “There’s no escaping the fact this is a much bigger enterprise than we first thought.” “I shall have to have a chat with my mother-in-law,” said Barbara. “I’ll need to know if she can continue to mind my child for a good while longer, she has been happy to do so until now.”
