The rain and wind abruptly stopped, but the sky still had the gray swirls of storms
in the distance. Dave knew this feeling all too well. The calm before the storm. He
only had a limited amount of time before all Hell broke loose, but he stopped to
admire the calmness. Maybe it would be different this time, he thought, with the
knowledge deep within that it wouldn't.
Indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her
consciousness, filled her whole being with a vague anguish. It was like a shadow,
like a mist passing across her soul's summer day. It was strange and unfamiliar; it
was a mood. She did not sit there inwardly upbraiding her husband, lamenting at
Fate, which had directed her footsteps to the path which they had taken. She was
just having a good cry all to herself. The mosquitoes made merry over her, biting
her firm, round arms and nipping at her bare insteps.
They decided to find the end of the rainbow. While they hoped they would find a pot
of gold, neither of them truly believed that the mythical pot would actually be
there. Nor did they believe they could actually find the end of the rainbow. Still,
it seemed like a fun activity for the day, and pictures of them chasing rainbows
would look great on their Instagram accounts. They would have never believed they
would actually find the end of a rainbow, and when they did, what they actually
found there.
Benny was tired. Not the normal every day tired from a hard day o work. The
exhausted type of tired where you're surprised your body can even move. All he
wanted to do was sit in front of the TV, put his feet up on the coffee table, and
drink a beer. The only issue was that he had forgotten where he lived.
It really didn't matter what they did to him. He's already made up his mind.
Whatever came his way, he was prepared for the consequences. He knew in his heart
that the sacrifice he made was done with love and not hate no matter how others
decided to spin it.
One can cook on and with an open fire. These are some of the ways to cook with fire
outside. Cooking meat using a spit is a great way to evenly cook meat. In order to
keep meat from burning, it's best to slowly rotate it. Hot stones can be used to
toast bread. Coals are hot and can bring things to a boil quickly. If one is very
adventurous, one can make a hole in the ground, fill it with coals and place foil-
covered meat, veggies, and potatoes into the coals, and cover all of it with dirt.
In a short period of time, the food will be baked. Campfire cooking can be done in
many ways.
The boxed moved. That was a problem. Peter had packed the box three hours before
and there was nothing inside that should make it move. The question now was whether
or not Peter was going to open it up and look inside to see why it had moved. The
answer to that question was obvious. Peter dropped the package into the mailbox so
he would never have to see it again.
Barbara had been waiting at the table for twenty minutes. it had been twenty long
and excruciating minutes. David had promised that he would be on time today. He
never was, but he had promised this one time. She had made him repeat the promise
multiple times over the last week until she'd believed his promise. Now she was
paying the price.
