This week is special. Jenny says use the one hundred words with the picture as the only prompt. See picture below.
Sour Puss Pumpkin
Peter Pumpkin had his pulp in a twist.
“Look at those supercilious squash. All lined up like a military band in a fall parade. They think they’re so perfect, sneering at us like we are seedy misfits.”
“Chill, Pete,” said Patti Pumpkin.
“Separated, we stand out in our field, show our firm shapes and sun-kissed orange skins. Besides, we’ll taste just as sweet in pie.”
“Not me! I‘m no pie pumpkin. I am scary jack-o-lantern all the way!”
Patti snorted, “Agreed.”
Then she added under her breath, “With your bitter disposition, you must taste like an overgrown sour persimmon.

I took a military view as well! Great post!
I love posts from an inanimate object! Really great!
your last line was a perfect ending! i've known quite a few people like that.
I thought Pelican Joe and I might be cosmic twins, but now I think the three of us are triplets!! I love it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
How fun that the pumpkins are talking to each other. What a unique Centus. Love it.
Fun, fun, fun. I especially love the first line and am tempted to say it five times fast. (But not that tempted.) This is great.

Loved the flavor of this pumpkin dialogue...

Fabulous take on the prompt, Claudia! I could really hear them chatting back and forth like that! Great job!
I loved this Claudia. I guess there really is one in every crowd, whether human or squash :) Kat
Claudia, I really enjoyed the conversational quality of this post. It was easy to visualize this actually happening.
What a great imagination you have!
