This is the first time I've tried the Wednesday Write-In. I'm very excited about it and hope to be able to do it regularly. Please read on to find out more about it!
CAKE.shortandsweet runs a write-in every week to writers to practise their skills, and get chatting to each other about their work. Everyone is welcome to join in, and the more people you tell, the more everyone will get out of it.
This week's Prompts
amber :: dark chocolate :: heather :: dry wood :: damage
The Amber Suite
Heather took a deep drag on her Malboro Light cigarette and exhaled slowly. She carefully unwrapped a piece of dark chocolate and plopped it into her mouth. “This is good shit, this is!”
“Nothing but the best ‘ere, Love!” Jackie laughed and took a sip of Nescafé, black with one sugar. “Much better than milk or white, that’s for sure.”
Heather stubbed out her cigarette and smiled. “So, what’s on the list for today?”
A crumpled piece of blue lined paper appeared from Jackie’s apron pocket. “Diamond Conference Room, Emerald Suite and Amber Suite. Boss Man says to give the table some extra elbow grease in the Amber 'cos the wood’s gone all dry."
“Okie kokie.”
“And, to find two more chairs 'cos the last lot what was in there-”
“Those Spanish ones from Madrid.”
“Yep, thems the ones, they damaged two of the chairs.”
“Bloody 'ells bells. I guess we’d best get cracking!”
