Lunch is served

~ Tara R.

No need for proper plates and cutlery as she shovels handfuls of food into her cavernous mouth. Stray bits of corn chips, salsa, and shreds of cheese, leave a trail of crumbs from table to chair.

Tiny orts are scattered across an ample chest, forming tottering pyramids on her lunch shelf. A rumbling belch creates an earthquake that shakes the cheddar and maize temples to the ground.

Flicking any remaining dregs from her clothing, she waddles into the kitchen, stowing her stash in the pantry. She crosses to the sink, only then remembering there are no dirty dishes to do.

The 100 Word Challenge, a writing prompt created by Velvet Verbosity, takes a single theme to tell a story in only 100 words ~ no more, no less. This week’s theme is ‘Doing the dishes.’

Trifecta, a weekly one-word prompt, challenges writers to use that word in its third definition form, using no less than 33 words or no more than 333. The week’s prompt is: Ample [adj. \ˈam-pəl\] 3: buxom, portly

  3. I love this. But you already know that, since I was all over Twitter talking about Doritos and stuff. Carrie has a good point–you have a really great range. One of my favorite pieces of yours described, I think, a boardwalk or pier or something? It was very, very Florida and descriptive and beautiful. This is so. . .not. And just as good. Thanks for linking up.
