A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section.
DUMPSTER DIVING
I forage for a morsel to fill my void.
Finding an inviting container labeled applesauce,
I open it, anticipating its sweetness,
Only to be repulsed by a thick layer of green fuzz.
My disappointed stomach rumbles.
Next, I find a sliver of stale pizza.
It tastes like cardboard.
What do I care?
I’m starving.
The stench of rotted vegetables overpowers me.
How did I sink to this level of despair?
I must rise above it.
Today.
Yes!
Today I’ll clean this refrigerator.
I promise it’s not that bad. 😉

My refrigerator is a dumpster? I never knew. I just dive right in and find some interesting stuff that, sometimes, is un-identifiable. Lol. Good story with a twist.

Dear Jan,
Do I lie? Exaggerate perhaps. 😉 Those science experiments do show up from time to time in the dark corners, don’t they? You made me laugh. 😀 Thanks, m’luv.

I admit to being a procrastinator when it comes to cleaning out the fridge. Nothing worse than finding those science projects with penicillin colonies. A casserole would be nice. 😉 The applesauce…not so much. My closets are much worse than my fridge.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
Ah yes… the mysterious science experiments that form in our fridges. Items slowly pushed to the back, forgotten but they will make you pay for such ill treatment!!
Shalom and lotsa non-green-fuzzy love,

Dear Dale,
Ya toss those leftovers in the box thinking you’ll eat them another day. And we know where that goes, don’t we? 😉 Sigh.
Shalom and lotsa fresh hugs,

Dear Iain,
The trouble with the dirty job is that it doesn’t get done often enough. 😉
