FB3X Drabble Cascade #27 - Season

Drabble Cascade at FB3X - Every Tuesday




Title: Returning
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: season
Meep sent me a plunny in a box... I think. *grins*


Fall was a time of gathering chill, given to bright fires, hot drinks and comfort foods. The flames beckoned to him as well as the company that waited there. Fire was imprinted into the primitive brain as both safety and fear. This was contained fire, it promised.

He’d never really liked hot drinks, well except for one and moaned slightly thinking about it. Comfort foods though, there was really only one comfort food and it waited with the alluring fire.

It had taken him awhile to make his way, homing like a pigeon, driven by need, a place and people.




Now go back, re-read and switch the POV to zombie *runs away giggling*

Having just watched Warm Bodies, I can put the zombie goggles on and it's kinda tense reading it from that POV! Comfort food, eh!

You made it through Warm Bodies which is better than I did. I had to leave several times for long breaks because of the nausea it caused. They need to make theaters with the concessions in the center and the individual viewing theaters going out from that hub so there's a track oval to walk. It would have helped. Greatly.

Comfort food. Nothing like eating the ones you love... *heh* THAT could be taken two ways also.

Do you notice that NONE of us touched the culinary aspect of season? This is the closest it's come.

Nicely ambiguous on second reading, but I'm guessing ZOMBIE!

Could be both.
Almost I wrote this, "He’d never really liked hot drinks, well except for one and moaned slightly thinking about Alex."
He so wants to get to Alex, to see him limed in the light of the fire and make love to him on the soft bed of the sweet earth in the flames flickering. *smiles*

That's lovely and poetic..hmmm I can see why you changed your mind - you rabid zombie fan!

Rabid zombie fan only if I control the zombies or the zombies are the nice kind like the early lovable fictions.

Notice the post about the Dr. Who weeping angels and how I'm online instead of watching.

Wow! This is a vastly different drabble from a zombie POV--great job, lol!

Thank you. *hugs* It was fun to write and giggle and worry that it wouldn't be ambiguous enough.

When I started this, I was thinking "Where is the zombie? She always has a zombie somewhere", so I read it both ways.

*snickers* So matter a fact and you know me so well.
Not all my stories have zombies. *grins*
