Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In” – #308
in exactly 50 words using these five prompt words:
‘poem’, ‘critique’, ‘murder’, ‘cupcake’, and ‘dice’.
Here’s my flash in exactly 50 words.

The harsh critique of a murder mystery poem led to a heated argument. In a fit of rage, the poet grabbed a cupcake and threw it at the critic. The cupcake missed, hitting a shelf of dice instead. The noisy tumbling dice brought an abrupt end to the poetic showdown.

Thanks very much, Di. When I first started cooking, some of my food could have been used as weapons!

I used to make a fatless sponge in the microwave, basically an egg, flour, a little sugar all mixed together and put on top of honey, jam, or golden syrup then cooked in the microwave for about 2 minutes. It’s great when it’s hot, but when not eaten immediately, you could build a wall with it as it goes rock hard!
