The room seemed cold as they began to put on the outfits left for them. They laughed awkwardly. New to the business, they found it fun and exciting, dressing in costumes, pretending to be someone else, for a day.
Ok, snapped the director. "Take one: discovering fresh fruit: action."
They tore the orange together, devouring the first tangy, bittersweet mouthfuls. Surprised, they'd never tasted sweetness like this before.
So moist, sweet, wet.
Greedily, sucking the juice, touches of honey lingered on their tongues as the juice dripped wastefully off their lips.
The director yells, "CUT! "
"Take 2 - bananas."

Interview
Police Interviewer:" Hi, Sara, can you tell us what happened?" Hi, I'm Sara. I'm 5. Last night, mommy and I snuggled together on the couch in my fuzzy pink blanket, watching re-runs. My daddy left at dark; he drives big trucks. During commercial, mommy turned off the tv and said, it's time for bed. As we walked down the dark hallway, the back doorbell started ringing, really fast, and someone pounded, hard. Mommy looked scared, "it's not daddy, she whispered." She opened the door slowly.... 4 shadows stretched, like fingers - and snatched her. "Thank you," they said.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

Your daughter is very talented, this poem made me hungry for fruits 🍌 🍌 🍊
Ohhhhhh Noooooo! I thought I knew where this was going and I didn't wanna be right. Yet, the picture and the words all combined provides the context that doesn't need to be shown. Oh well. Fresh fruit though is great. Plus, they're gonna need those bananas to help get rid of any muscle cramps after their next shoot.
So moist, sweet, wet. Awesome line. My favourite. This is an impressive piece, I like it so much because my mind added the things unsaid - giggling nervous girls shivering, a dressing room with wood paneling, strewn make-up.....old clothes......the images are right there in my mind. Love it.
Yikes! Short but very intensely written. I loved it!
Very creative, indeed. Good one.
I loved this; so creative, Kelli! I wonder what the banana scene will be like 😅 LOL
Great Storytelling 😉💯🎬
Tasty
Super!!!💖💖💕
