You know those times when the cat freaks you out staring at the wall or somewhere else where there's nothing to speak of to stare at... Yeah. You wonder how those plot bunnies sneak up on you.... This may be the answer to both of those questions.

Hmmmm. prompt?

Dearest creature in creation, study English pronunciation.

I knew Balmoral but looked it up anyway. The others... wasn't up on those. Feoffer made me squee when fief was mentioned in connection and why wasn't fife thrown in for good measure?
Did pretty well and other than my favorite feoffer, discounting Balmoral which I got correct, those others are Greek proper names *sniffs*.

I really was tempted to think peppermint when feoffment was mentioned here.*grins*

Even Gods Like to Show Off

Title: Even Gods Like to Show Off
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: Waterspout
Growing up in my 'classy' family, my brother (who would die if he knew I shared this) being a boy had a *coughs* piddlespout.

Richard stared, mouth open, at the weather event occurring in the bay. Long and sinuous, the coil of air and water sprang forth from the curled dense fluff of cloud to touch the choppy wave strewn surface. Through the spray’s edge at the energetic contact point, the sun’s eye on the horizon watched.

“Holy shit!” The sun wasn’t in any danger but Richard realized he could be if he continued with his stunned gawking. Still, how often did a person see this.

A booming voice sounded from above, “You think that's is something? Watch this!” and the funneled cock twirled.

Book vs. Nook

I've got a series of books in my Library, the predator vs. prey series ; Lion vs. Gazelle, Shark vs. Penguin, Owl vs. Mouse.
Even if you drop a book in the bathwater, if you dry it properly, it salvageable. Try dropping a Nook or Kindle on the tile floor.
