Together, they unpacked the groceries and prepared supper, chatting and laughing while they worked.
When they were finished, they brought their food out to the patio to eat while they watched the sun set. The trees were vibrant with fall colours – greens and browns and reds and oranges and golds – there wouldn’t be very many days left to enjoy the warm evenings. As if nature was agreeing with that observation, a dried leaf fell on the table between them and he picked it up, crushed it, and released it back to nature.
Crushed brown fragments blew away in the breeze.

Wow! Way to combine the two prompts! Excellent!
You do such an amazing job of merging the two prompts. Loved it!
I was thinking of doing the same, an ongoing theme within themes (prompts). You do it well!
Thanks! It can really be a challenge sometime when I get a prompt that really doesn’t go with the story I’m writing. Harder still with the 100 word limit I usually give myself and combining other prompts. Easier when you can just make a story each time. I have cheated and skipped a week once or twice, but it’s a good challenge! I go for 10 weeks/prompts/parts then let myself start a new story.
Nice! I like the images in each sentence. And, I agree, merging the two would be difficult, but you always pull it off so well :)
Nice descriptions in all this; it just reads easily, if that makes sense, so I guess it makes sense it’s part of something bigger. I especially like the description of the brown flakes blowing away. Nice job!
