NOVEMBER 2018 - SCAVENGER HUNTPUMPKIN
·Post 33
46/50
AUTUMN - #11 (loc 284, 6%)
His brown eyes are flecked through with red and orange, like an autumn skyline.
BAKE - #10 (loc 750, 24%)
"You can teach him to bake instead," I offered. Shocked gasps and covert gagging noises filled the room.
BIG - #6 (loc 2481, 63%)
"I'd have to say he sure does, big brother. Mighty well-fucked."
BUMPY - #2 (loc 1062, 23%)
She walked toward the slope, almost wincing as a bumpy rock prodded the sole of her foot.
CARVING - #10 (loc 855, 27%)
The pain shot through my body like hot knives, carving up my insides.
CHILDREN - #8 (loc 2110, 54%)
"Well, with their other ten thousand children, what's three more?"
CHOP - #5 (loc 31, 1%)
"That's fascinating, but if you don't put some clothes on I'm going to have to start chopping at things that are protruding."
CHUNK - #2 (loc 825, 18%)
"I don't want them on my ass anymore than I want a feral wolf chewing a chunk out of my wolf's ass."
COOKING - #8 (loc 1373, 35%)
"A burger works. But don't eat too much. I'm cooking us dinner tonight."
DELICIOUS - #11 (loc 3978, 78%)
"Oh, how delicious," Chesh purrs, clawing at the air above Rab's head. "I could just eat you right up."
EAT - #7 (loc 213, 4%)
Devon, an apprentice at their studio, glared at the hellhound. "Eat shit, pooch."
ENORMOUS - #5 (loc 2632, 50%)
"I haven't seen my hooha in months because my stomach is the enormous house for our four-headed son that is going to live inside me for the next ten years."
FACE - #4 (loc 324, 6%)
Basically she was a tiny Goth girl with more hair in her face than Cousin It.
FESTIVE
FIELD - #4 (loc 4504, 85%)
"Does it always hurt like that?" Her face was ashen and she clung tightly to The Kev. "I just squatted in a field and they fell out," Pam informed the room. Her announcement was greeted with appalled silence.
FRUIT - #1 (loc 2293, 78%)
Zach shoveled another spoonful of Fruit Loops cereal with milk into his mouth. "It is not possible!"
GROUND - #14 (loc 351, 2%)
They smacked into the ground and Geryon planted his feet as the impact vibrated through him.
HARVEST - #7 (loc 5255, 91%)
"No. No, he's a sphinx. Sphinxes cannot harvest and deliver souls to hell."
HOLIDAY - #3 (loc 78, 6%)
The holidays I took with my parents to Spain every year.
JACK O' LANTERN
KIDS - #10 (loc 2414, 76%)
"Besides, I'm already married to someone and I have at least sixteen or nine-ish kids."
KITCHEN - #13 (loc 859, 76%)
The three of us are laughing as we stumble up the basement stairs, heading to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat after the marathon screw fest.
LARGE - #5 (loc 1142, 34%)
"I'm annoyingly straight, and I think this guy is hot. Freakishly large, but hot."
MASH - #9 (loc 2685, 67%)
Karaoke had no redeeming qualities what-so-ever. I still loved Morgan. "I think we should sing 'The Monster Mash' this time."
NUTMEG
ORANGE - #2 (loc 2082, 45%)
Upstairs, she quickly changed into a neon-orange bikini and scooped her hair up into a high ponytail.
OVEN
PATCH #6 (loc 1692, 42%)
She had a small hump on her back, gnarled hands, and a black patch over one eye. Good God. That's why Natalia kept calling her O-E-G. One-Eyed Grandma.
PICK - #12 (loc 574, 47%)
"You can stumble over to Zoe's Lounge after work and pick up the sexy mom in the hoodie at the bar."
PIE - #1 (loc 1399, 48%)
As soon as she got to work, Randy, her favorite cutie pie pit bull, had taken one look at her and run the other way.
PUREE - #7 (loc 1666, 29%)
Harper spent the next few hours with Asher-bathing him, dressing him, and then feeding him a slightly early lunch…after which she needed to change him again, since he'd gotten puree all over himself.
ROAST - #11 (loc 396, 9%)
The taste on my tongue morphs from cherry-tart to custard, from pineapple to toffee, and then cycles through roasted freaking turkey and hot buttered toast.
ROOTS - #7 (loc 1881, 33%)
Harper did enjoy her years of traveling with Lucien, but what she needed was roots, not someone who she'd come second to.
ROUND - #5 (loc 1722, 51%)
Conall tried to ignore the guys hugging Miki as she makes her rounds. She was being friendly. They were groping. But when any of them got out of hand, she handled them expertly.
SEASON - #8 (loc 268, 7%)
Irene waited, and she couldn't help but smile when she saw the blooms burst to life on the branches. Out of season, no less.
SEED(S) - #5 (loc 3063, 91%)
"You are making me crazy and I'm sure that's not healthy the demon seed I'm carrying!"
SELECT - #3 (loc 1222, 57%)
"Ask them to stop their nefarious deeds while I select a weapon?"
SHAPE - #4 (loc 1817, 34%)
I tried with all my might to wrench my eyes from the heart-shaped mass of hair on Carl's chest. WTH?
SKIN - #1 (loc 2567, 87%)
Looking down at her crouching form, she saw blood-and-dirt-covered skin. She'd changed back.
SMOOTH - #15 (loc 1057, 55%)
To my surprise, Simon answered instead of smooth-talking Gene.
SNACK - #6 (loc 1071, 27%)
"Puppy? Why don't you call him what he is? A mid-day snack." Her crazy friend was right. Tigers roamed this property. A cute little thing loping through the grass was really just a moving Snickers bar to these people.
SOUP - #11 (loc 2229, 44%)
"Beautiful soup, so rich and green, waiting in a hot tureen," Dee singsongs as he ladles me a bowl and passes it over.
SPROUT - #2 (loc 629, 14%)
Trick fought his desperate attempts to surface, half-surprised he didn't sprout fur.
STEM - #11 (loc 1544, 31%)
"I never saw anybody that looked stupider," a violet chimes in, just before Dee bends down and plucks several of the flowers up by theirs stems.
SUNLIGHT - #11 (loc 3198, 63%)
In the sunlight, I'd almost call them aqua or teal or whatever the fuck that tropical blue-green color is. Sorry, but I played with black Sharpies instead of crayons as a kid.
TREAT - #15 (loc 1376, 71%)
I pumped my wings and grinned, for flying truly was a treat.
VINE - #4 (loc 280, 5%)
Deciding further explanation of a selfie could end in violence I took several as she posed obscenely with a flowering vine.
WEDGE - #10 (loc 2915, 92%)
"Sweet baby Satan in wedge heels and a thong," Jane choked out proudly.
WEIGHT #3 (loc 2020, 92%)
"He's a bit fat to be a stray," I retort. His weight gain over the past few months confirmed to me he has another-if not several more-homes to dine at.
YIELD - #3 (loc 727, 35%)
He's loyal to his kind, but he won't yield his life to control by royalty.
Carryovers
2/2
October
KEG - #7 (loc 188, 4%)
She was pretty sure the one curled around the beer keg, clinging to the funnel, had passed out. Typical
TEXAS - #1 (loc 149, 5%)
"Check it out." Angelina elbowed her friends. "Lesbians. In Texas."
