TINY TUESDAY (m)


In rounding up the writing with our senses series, let's write a scene or short story that concentrates on touch/skin.

Happy writing,

Mac

Can we only imagine...(m)


Setting up a household with a husband at age 13. Goodness, how grown-up teenagers were back then.

I enjoyed your story! I liked the part: She felt his shy smile like a blessing that lingered ...

Great story, I want to read more.

Have a great day, Eyewrite

Have a great day, Eyewrite

LOL mac, you've never heard of a(m)


one legged bed? They were fairly common in settler's cabins here in the ozarks. The two corners of the head and one corner of the foot of the bed were pegged into the two walls of the cabin and the forth corner of the bed had a leg on it (which young mothers used to "bedpost" the baby. Young children of both sexes wore long gowns until the were two or three -- old enough not to need diapers -- and the mother would put the tail of the gown under the bedpost to keep the baby from wandering off while she worked around the house.)The one legged bed was a space saver in small cabins.

As to drinking in the scent, I sat there for two or three minutes trying to think of "inhaled", and for the life of me, the word just wouldn't come to mind. Thanks from the old foggie--LOL. (I think by 61, the average writer has just tooooo many words, facts, etc. to recall them all handily-heheheh).

Thanks maria, actually, back then (m)


at least here in the ozarks, the woman often referred to her husband as Mr. ----, even after they'd been married for years. And the husband referred to the wife as Wife (or sometimes Mother, after they had children). I'm sure some of them called each other by name when they were alone, but some did not. Heheheh, just a little history note here.

work on this some more later. Thanks for the nit pick about "rough", I wrote this on the run, so I'll keep that in mind if I do decide to do more with it.
