THE WOMAN
[FlashXer] EXERCISE: MARCH 27, 2007
First, I want to thank Sandra for her prompt. It was a good one, and
inspired some interesting writing. Thanks for the help, I do
appreciate it.
I was away for a weekend Bat Mizvah...a really special one. One of our
dear friends grand child was the celebrant in a very lovely New England
synagogue...with all the trimmings. it was something to experience. So,
thanks again, Sandra.
I was checking the newspaper this morning, and I have a warning for any
of you who happen to be paper chewers. There are many, I know who
sort of reflexively put a little piece of paper in the mouth and chew
away.
Well think twice from now on. According to the paper, they are now
making
paper, good paper it seems, from Panda Poop. Apparently they have been
utilizing elephant droppings in Thailand for the same purpose. So I
caution you,
find out where your paper is coming from: it might be acceptable if
this paper were
for use in the john, but I don't think that's the case. It is made
into writing paper,
stationery and other such things, I think;. We better get together
and insist they
make it less well and put it ....
ON A ROLL
I hadn't planned to present my prompt today this way, but it sort of
worked out.
Don't think of it necessarily as TP....but rather as a state of mind
or what happens
in the world. Or if you so desire, a sandwich. But have fun with it.
And of course, usual rules:
1000 words. In the subject line please, your name, the word roll and
the story title.
Let the ideas fly , the fingers follow suit and you too can be right
there, rolling along.
Have fun.

"I’ll take a ham and cheese, please."
"Would you like that on rye, sir?" The sandwich maker confident he knew the answer, reached for the rye.
"No, I’ll take a French roll today." The customer stared out the front window with a smile on his face.
"But sir, you always have rye. What’s the special occasion?" The sandwich maker looked up to see the customer.
The customer drank in the woman walking through the door. The sandwich maker had his answer.
