Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt today:
August 15, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes a sweet jam. It can take you to the kitchen or the smokey room of a back-alley bar. What makes it sweet? Go where the prompt leads you!
Since I’m neck-deep in editing my novel, I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to some of the characters, adapted from the novel, in a situation they find themselves, on a train in India. Meet Aashi, my main character and Arjun, someone who may become quite important to her!
Train Jam
Arjun peeled back the cover of the tray and peered at the contents.
Two cooling pieces of toast lay there, with a pat of white butter and a container containing something that was jelly-like with a luminous pink glow.
“What’s that?” he grimaced.
“I think you’ll find it’s jam.” Aashi couldn’t help but smirk at his expression.
“That’s not like any jam I’ve ever seen before.”
“Well you’re not in England anymore, either. It’s Indian jam, made to cater for the Western travellers. Probably filled with sugar, colouring, sugar, flavouring and a bit more sugar. Just don’t expect strawberries!”

Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week:
I saw him leaving this morning.
Jack Frost.
He shouldn’t be here right now. It looks like he took a detour on his journey to distribute his icy gifts to the world.
And there’s no frost, left in his wake. He knew it was meant to be summer here, not icy winter.
That must be why he’s taking his strides in such a forlorn manner.
Weary Jack Frost lost his way.
He must be getting old…

It’s Tuesday, and that means Colleen’s Tanka Challenge! Of course, just providing a couple of words would be far too simple, so we have two words, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed!
Never cut and dried
Life is never black and white
Many shades between
