Dinner Diversion
Something happens around the dinner table
Acrostic word: DISTRACTION
Dinner
Isolated us, using
Silence to
Tantalize our senses.
Regret filled the air, disturbing the
Aromas from the kitchen
Catching us off-guard
Teasing us with promise
Inviting contribution of
Opinion.
Nothing else.

The Warrior of Shanduhar
The day my sister was stolen from us, I swore I would either bring her home or kill myself for having failed. It was a mostly cloudless day in Shanduhar. Bracing gusts had swept through the oasis on and off since mid-morning prayers. Aria and I had been feeding the camels. Our younger brother Eran was charged with cleaning out the rain barrel or face the back of Mother’s hand. I ran to his side to help before the precious remaining water tumbled into the sand rather than into Mother’s clay jar.
