Sunday Micro: The Final Five Words of The Year
Once more, for this last time this year, Richard Osgood at The Flash Factory private office at Zoetrope Virtual Studio provides five words to use in a 50- or 55-word micro. Here are the words:
Islands
Randall Brown
recipe
chalk
gimmick
sinuous
nonsense
Islands
Randall Brown
Here, the cook bakes without recipes. She says it leaves room for nonsense. To be sinuous, if you are a girl, is to be unkind. I stay silent, the wrong thing always on the tip of my tongue. The cook calls me “Chalk.” She doesn’t mean it as a gimmick.

Just looking at past ideas, and just had a little go with this. :) Thank you.
“Hand me the chalk.” Her hand is outstretched waiting, but her eyes haven’t left the grimoire and her ‘recipe.’ I’d like to think this was a gimmick, to lure me over. But as the nonsense continues, I am doubtful. I pick up a sinuous piece of chalk and fling it at her. I hate teases.
