2022 A to Z posts have been reserved for descriptive 100 word posts. However, today’s post is a modified excerpt from Chapter 18 of “The Ember Files.” “…His soft skinned hands are pushing and pulling a gummy thread of magic. I goggle at him when he bobs his head down and takes a bite of… Continue reading Marshmallow – This post offers a teaser for my upcoming novel.

Lake
Lake, by Google definition, is a large body of water surrounded by land. Swimming, boating, fishing, and various water activities come to mind at the thought of a lake. It doesn’t matter if the lake is calm or choppy. It’s summer. The lake is refreshing, cool, and a variant of blue. Humid air is filled… Continue reading Lake

Kebab
Food pieces secured on a thin wooden stick. Skewered. Perhaps it is a variety of fresh fruits: strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and grapes. Bright colours and bright flavours for a dessert or a treat. Maybe it is a dish, a meal, roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit. Some kind of meat or fish cut… Continue reading Kebab

Jog
Physical exercise, a complete workout. It is not a run or a sprint. It is a steady pace, gentle and sustainable. Each footfall marks a leisurely rhythm. Forward movement that is faster than walking. The stress on the body is less than running, but the health benefits are plentiful: stronger bones, muscles, heart and mind.… Continue reading Jog

Ice Cream
It’s all there in the name: ice cream. A frozen crystalline solid of thick fatty liquid. On a spoon, in a cone, or topping a different sweet treat. This sweet flavoured frozen food is an icy dessert or a companion. The frosted flakes of milk fat melt on the tongue, smooth and creamy. Classic flavours… Continue reading Ice Cream

Headache
Something feels a little off, not enough yet though to identify the feeling, predict the meaning, or anticipate the outcome. Without warning specks appear in your vision, shadows that race away before direct line of sight can lock in on them. A throbbing starts in the head. Its uncomfortable at first, nagging and persistent in… Continue reading Headache

If we were having tea…
The loose leaf has a very earthy look to it. The dominant colour is tan with tiny grass looking pieces and three colours of peppercorns: pale white, berry red, and burnt brown. The loose leaf has a grass, ginger, and pepper smell. The steeped tea has made the water in my mug a yellowy orangish-brown… Continue reading If we were having tea…

Ghost
Manifested among the living. Did the lights flicker? A whisper like a shadow lingering just out of sight. Someone or something almost visible in the dim light. A scattering of soft particles in the air caught by a ray of light, fragile. The mind questions the eye’s ability to discern the difference between imagined and… Continue reading Ghost

Face
Heart shaped lips and a concave nose set under green almond eyes with experience crinkling the corners. Show your face. The front part of the head that stretches from the chin up to the forehead. The bone structure of the face holds secrets of sex and racial heritage. It is an item used for identification.… Continue reading Face

Eraser
The rubber is an unblemished white when I pick it up. Its surface is smooth and it is firm yet pliable. The touch of it between the fingers leaves a strange coated feeling, but it isn’t something that can seen. The act of rubbing this malleable shape over the surface of a piece of paper… Continue reading Eraser
