Foggy Green Pea
My bony fingers morphed into agents of my ravenous emotions, transferring lust to the tips of my being awakening deadened nerves I reached into the bag ripping apart the dark and chewy pumpernickel then smeared the risen creation into the butter painting each chunk richly with soft yielding yellow.
Steam rising from the soup urn cried out to be eaten. Before the ladle could serve it’s cupped treasure my other hand plunged slathered bread deeply into the foggy green pea soup all the way to the...

Hand In Hand...
Hand In Hand
We reached for the same glass of wine, inadvertently our fingers entwined around the long stem. Neither would relinquish the glass.

Around The Corner...
When you finally do go home what is it that you’ll feel? Today’s 100 word story is entitled Around The Corner, Enjoy!
Around the Corner
Thirty years had passed to this point yet what did I do but hesitate to round the corner.
No one would recognize me yet my heart continued to race in my throat.
