I happened upon PROMPTuesday today. Since it is kind of similar to the bi-weekly word exercises we do, I decided to give it a go.
Word: Egg.
Genre: Romantic Comedy.
Limits: 10 minutes and under 250 words.
Title: the morning after
“I’m not sure I have ever tasted a pancake quite like this,” he mused, choosing his words carefully so as not to offend. It was the first time she had made him breakfast, which followed the first time he had stayed over and he did not want to hamper the chances for a second.
“Well, I only had one egg, so I had to substitute something else. So, I rummaged around for something approximating the consistency of an egg. I briefly considered sour cream and then I found the lime jello, you know, from last night…”

I’m left wondering about the previous service of that jello… and if I would eat any more of the pancake myself!
Very cool! I like the idea and will probably to add it to my Tuesday mornings. Talk about a great way to keep the mind on it’s creative toes.
And by the way, I enjoyed you eggy allusions…
Sounds delicious!
Thanks for joining in this Tuesday. I think you’ve got an ongoing story here!
