This week’s Flash Fiction Challenge from Charli Mills is all about TOOLS. Be sure to hang out at the Carrot Ranch for interesting prompts, people, poetry, and prose! But in the meantime, I thank you for checking out my contribution.

Freddie and Remington sat patiently as their eyes followed Bryan’s every move. It was no secret what was going on in their heads.

Completely aware of his audience, Bryan knew he could get the job done quicker if he’d just go out and buy a leaf blower but he enjoyed the effort it took to rake the leaves into big piles.

As the piles grew, so did the dogs’ eyes. And tails swished slowly.

When Bryan sat to have lunch. the two hungry pups practically flew into the piles. He laughed as they surfaced with mouths filled with leaves!

Light Charcoal, Action

Ah, a COOKING SHOW, this is the prompt from Charli Mills. I love to cook but have never actually imagined myself hosting a cooking show. But I love to watch grill masters at work.

Be sure to FOLLOW the Carrot Ranch for writing fun and frolic!

There is something special about charcoal-grilled hot dogs. Frank made sure he rolled them for even browning. He loved to use the grill. The taste of the food, along with the oohs and ahhs from hungry diners made his day.

Poised and ready for the first taste was Zeus, a patient, playful Rottie! His head followed the action of his master’s hands in syncopated rhythm. It was as though he was willing Frank to drop something on the ground.

Aware he was being watched, Frank laughed, “Gee, Zeus, I didn’t realize I was putting on a show here!”
