Today's freewrite prompt, courtesy of mariannewest@mariannewest, is red tongue. If you're not familiar with a freewrite, mariannewest@mariannewest offers a daily prompt to which anyone who wishes writes down as much as their heart desires with that prompt in mind... for up to five minutes.

Today, I seem to be the master of minimalism as well.


“Why, you red tongued little devil.” A friend of mine said that once. A female friend. Not a girlfriend, but a female friend. I was trying to have be a girlfriend, but I wasn’t sure it was working.

“Do you think I’m lying, or is my suave personality and way with words just having a positive effect?” I asked. That elicited only a laugh.

“No,” she answered with a smile. “Your red popsicle has turned your tongue red.” She grinned at me triumphantly. There was no way I was going to ever beat her in a war of words.

So now my tongue was red. Undoubtedly, so were my cheeks.
