Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..?
#288” – exactly 50 words using the six required
prompts: ‘vendetta’, ‘cool’, ‘dough’, ‘wheeze’, ‘spider’
and ‘reflexology’. In exactly 50 words, this is my story.
In the kitchen of the cool, dimly-lit café, Stefano, a reflexology therapist and baker, discovered a note in the dough of his Spider Bread. The note revealed threats against him. Worry set in and Stefano began to wheeze knowing there was someone with a vendetta who could destroy his life.

Maybe butter in that creamy layer of the cornbread? No dread lasts long with moist, sweet cornbread and a bowl of spicy chili, yah? Spurn the vendetta!

Have you made it, D?
I’m not sure how I feel about the milk in the center.

I have a recipe on my blog. It’s works fine, like magic, but you can’t use anything low fat! Then, it’s still tasty but you don’t get the creamy layer.

Thanks very much, Esther! I don’t know how you choose the words but there’s always one or two that really throw a monkey wrench into the works. Always great fun!

I’m curious: did he use the same technique for reflexology as he did for kneading dough? 😉

Beats the hell out of me! I’d ask him but, as you can see, he’s deep in thought over that damn note! 😁
