A Cicatrical Reminder ll


The Prediction  challenge – due 4/9/2020 – 100 words
        (3 word prompt – biscuit, quilt, suffice)

A Cicatrical Reminder  ll

“Suffice it to say, creating a quilt is like baking different biscuits shoulder to shoulder in a pan.”

“Really?”  Though not listening. Will knew he should respond. 

Will’s acknowledgement sounded hollow to Beatrice.  She turned.  Will was totally engrossed in a repeat soccer game from five years ago.  He had tuned out the here and now in the first half.

Smiling now, Beatrice considered revenge.  Her eyes searched the tools in her quilting basket. 

“You know what they say about dialog?”

“Uh, No dear.”

“It takes two people to have one.” 

The quilting ruler found its mark.

And Will jumped.

It has been a good while since I participated in Flash of any kind.  I decided to use a same title I used it on another Prediction piece from 11/08/2016.  "Cicatrical" was one of the prompt words then.  Drove me wacky working it into the tale.
