“Strawberry SHORT-cakes”

Yo yo yo!!!! This is a small little drabble about my two OCs August and Elliot being the best mother daughter duo imaginable. This Elliot is around 7-8 years old!! August makes hella good shit and yes so enjoy !!!!

“Momma, what’s with the whipped cream? Are we making hot cocoa?” Elliot jumped up slightly to see on the top of the counter. August chortled as she tied the apron behind her back. “Now El, it is August. It’s strawberry season!” She turned around to look at the younger being. “Okay and? Every season is for hot cocoa” Elliot took a deep breath in as she slid a dark oak char to the granite counters.

“Can you do me a favor, hun?” August muttered. Elliot shook her head intensely. “Get me the strawberries from the fridge?” The kid never had gotten off a chair faster, grabbing them and looking back at August. Well, Augs couldn’t see her. Right? Elliot popped open the plastic container as quietly as she could, grabbing a fat berry, shoving it in her mouth. “El hun, don’t be eating those berries! Your Uncle Mason is coming over!”

How in the world did she see El? Does she have eyes in the back of her head?? Oh my gosh her mom is an alien! “El, have you gotten them?” The question quickly snapped the kid out of her trance, and she hopped back up on the chair. August grabbed a rather dull but mendable knife, and slid behind Elliot. “Wanna help me cut them?” El nodded and smiled as she looked at the plump red fruits. Augs set one of her knees (the last one she’ll have. SORRY SPOILER ALERT!!) on the chair and laid the knife down, grabbing Els hand with tender care. Elliot picked up the knife and August began to lead her hand in a way to cut the berries.

“Sideways, from the top, then sideways again.”

“Sidesways, from the top, and sidesways again”

August smiled, “Good job! You’re getting the hang of it!” Elliot laughed heartily and smiled.

- i n t i m e -

Elliot ran around the island of the kitchen, laughing and trying to wipe the white baking powder off her face. August stomped around the kitchen after grabbing a small plate filled with whipped cream.

“Fee..”

Elliot held her breath

“Fi..”

August took a big step

“Fo..”

Silence

“Fum.”

Peace scattered through the kitchen.. but not for long.

“HERE I COME!”

Elliot got up real fast and laughed. August chased after her, Elliot somehow juking her out. Laughter busted through the house and flour was scattered everywhere. August ran and ran, and.. smack. Face first in the plate of cream and on the floor.

once again. Silence

Elliot rushed to her mothers side “Momma!” She kneeled down. “BRAAA!” August jumped up, blood slightly gushing out of her nose. “AAAH!”

They both laughed till the pain set in. “Lord kid.. you done broke my nose!” She chortled as she stood up, wiping the blood on her apron. Elliot stood still, still kinda crushed that she hurt her own momma. A loud creak entered the kitchen as light from the outside shown in.

“What in Gods name happened.”

Well long story short Mason ended up taking care of August and Elliot cried bc she felt bad but uh yes!!!

My friends who have never experienced flooding, and who are about to deal with it from this storm, please remember:

1. NO. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THAT WATER ON THE ROAD. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING. TURN. AROUND.

2. DO NOT GO WADING THROUGH THE WATER. EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP IT IS. THAT. WATER. IS. CONTAMINATED.

3. IT IS CALLED FLASH FLOODING FOR A REASON. THE WATER RISES AND SURGES IN A FLASH. STAY. HOME.

4. If you're at risk of flooding, raise up any of your belongings now. Put the legs of tall things in buckets. Know where your important documents are.

5. Stay safe.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.
