Lillie McFerrin Writes
She stepped off and shuffled into the kitchen to start the
coffee machine but before she could reach the counter she felt a pull to the
other side of the room where the big white refrigerator sat.
She stood there, bemused, but as long as she was there,
reached inside for the remains of last night’s tiramisu.
Turning back to the counter, sticky dessert plate in hand,
she was oblivious to the souvenirs from past trips that were arranged on the
appliance - tiny ceramic lemons from Sorrento ,
a scene from Mount Vernon , the
logo of the Boston Red Sox, and many others.
They had gathered to form a ring of magnetism, a ring that
not only held them to the refrigerator, but had also drawn her to it as well.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteAh, the refrigerator "magnet". I know it well.

That's a great idea, I love the idea of a story in only 5 sentences...you wrote this one beautifully.

Sad how easily this one came. They say to write about what you know. . .
DeleteNot only is the refrigerator a magnet, but there are a couple of cupboards I know, that have a magnetic quality, as well. Love this!
ReplyDeleteRight Bica. And cookie jars, and cake tins, and. . . . .
DeleteWell done! Great use of the prompt in an unexpected way!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! Good to hear from you.
DeleteOoh, how clever! I'm sure, for people who struggle with eating problems, this is exactly how the fridge must feel.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Freya. And your entry was chock-full of suspense!
