Flash in the Pan

The taxi ride back the hotel exacerbated the nausea. Her stomach felt like it was full of stampeding gazelle, all horns and sharp hooves.

“Honey, if I had known you were allergic to curry, we never would have gone there.”

Between stomach-churning belches and scratching the hives, she glared. “You wonder why I am having reservations about marrying you?”

Welcome to "Flash in the Pan"

Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”

The word limit for March is 75 words. This week’s word is reservations. Remember, the theme this quarter is Flashes from the Bistro.

Today’s entry comes it at a mere 59 words. Are you flashing with us this quarter? Click on the Flash in the Pan page beneath the header for the whys and wherefores and the list of words. See anyone you know yet? You will find plenty of fun blogs there and on the past FTP pages.

If you are new, stop by RedmundPro and pick up a copy of the book which started it all. The ebooks are free everyday.

Happy Flashing!


Have you ever had food poisoning? Are you allergic to anything? Should this be something a fiancé knows?

  5. Perfectly funny use of reservations! Would that more of us had reservations about marriage, just think how many attorneys would be out of work.

    • I think we should start a movement to threaten the job security of attorneys the world over. An excellent suggestion! <3
