Round, frozen, hard, white.
Watery now, shedding your ice.
Patting, drying, there-there.
(Heating butter, adding garlic, a dash of oil.)
Take a teriyaki bath, there you go. Scrubba dubba.
Time to come out now!
Lift you, Sea Scallops, gently out of your tub.
Thrust you into the searing, flashing, firework pan.
Scorch your edges.
Throw some acid on top.
Press you into the hot metal until you squeal.
Grab you with shiny tongs and turn your unharmed side down — to the point of the burn.
There there, now. All done.
Cradle you, lay you down.
Admire you.
Devour you.

About Me
I'm Julie, a writer and the host of StoryADay.org - a creative writing challenge that happens each May (and yes, you're invited).I've been telling stories forever. Luckily I grew up and people stopped calling them 'lies'.
I started earning money for my writing in newspapers and magazines, then business writing. I'm rediscovering the creative side these days.
This is where I share what I'm learning about writing...
...And other stuff about my life as a human, a mother, an ex-pat, a cook, a gardener, a knitter, and all the rest. I don't talk about being a wife much, because my husband's a bit shy.
