Drifting through life

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?

It's Sunday Selections time again!! I'm sure we all know the drill by now, hunt through your old photos and choose one or a few to post under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim at Frog Ponds Rock , then hop on over to her site and add your name to her linky list and leave her a comment. I often choose a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week my theme is FLAMES Bonfire flames of course, because they're the best kind. These are all photos of a bonfire at a birthday party I went to recently; these are of the embers as the flames began to die down. And what the heck is going on with my placement??!! Look at that picture above bullying the top one for space! (and I couldn't fix it) Face warming flames. Higher and Higher. I love watching flames. More embers. I also like the patterns formed in the smoke. Sometimes I see dragons. So go through your files, follow the directions above and join the fun!
