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 Wisewebwoman and can be found here.

Charlotte's colour of the month is "Thrash Pink"

Here is my story:

After sweeping leaves and dust off the concrete path, Eileen tied a clean pinafore over her dress before going inside to prepare the Greek style salad and fry the sausage. Looking at the clock she saw she had timed things perfectly, the rest of the family would soon be home from the Peninsula where they had listened to a symphony orchestra rehearsing for the upcoming concert.

Rushing to the bathroom she washed her hands, then noticing her cheeks were the same neon shade as the newly bought thrash pink roses, she dabbed them with icy water to help them cool down. Today was the last day of her grounding, (she had lied about where she was going and the police had been called when she was more than 30 minutes later than her curfew) and she hoped her Dad would allow her to attend the Pirate themed birthday party Chrissie was having this evening.

Chrissie’s inspiration had been the old wreckage and bones her brother Sean had been talking about. The find had been hush-hush for a while, but the story was in all the newspapers now and young Jim Anderson was being recognised everywhere he went.
