If you've joined me from the amazing Steven C. Mitchell, https://scmitchell.wordpress.com/, then thank you. Isn't his website fantastic? If you haven't, please jump back and check it out. I'm sure he's written something really unique for this week's blog chat.

Today the fabulous Veronica Forand, http://veronicaforand.com/, has inspired us to create a 100-word piece of flash fiction , using these three words: coffee, lizard and spring. Here is my snippet, I hope you enjoy it.

*******************
She raised the cup of coffee to her lips, and blew a soft breath across the steaming liquid. A sip, a smile, and then a sigh. Delicious.
Shading her eyes, she squinted at the lizard as it curled across the top of a nearby sun-drenched rock. Absorbing the heat from an early morning sun that promised a day of lazy warmth, it lay motionless.
Like the lizard she relaxed, and let her body sink into the padded chaise lounge.
A perfect spring day. One she intended to enjoy at all costs.
The handgun tucked in her waistband would ensure it.
*******************

Thank you for visiting with me, and I hope you stop by next time. Before you go, please hop over to Veronica's blog, http://veronicaforand.com/. She always writes super flash fiction pieces. 

See you next time!

Warmly,
Mikki
