Heather came to when bilge water sloshed over her face. Coughing and sputtering, she thrashed to get her head above the water. She struck her head against a beam in the narrow compartment. She saw stars in the darkness as she struggled to orient herself. Then her hand touched something that made her #flesh crawl. She reached out and touched another hand. It was cold and dead -- stiff with rigor mortis. Her gorge rose and saliva filled her mouth as she struggled not to vomit. #wss366

"Once upon a time," Jasper's grandma said, picking up one of the crayons on the table, "they called this color #flesh."

Jasper looked dubiously at the crayon. "Really?"

His grandma nodded. "Uh-huh. Even though the color only matched the flesh of some people. And there's all kinds of other fleshes it also doesn't match. The flesh of a green grape, for instance. Or a papaya."

"I'm coloring a sunset," Jasper announced. "It's the color of papaya and strawberry flesh."

Dreams of The Mad Frank: Part 1 The Flag Lady

#FanFic #TheApothecaryDiaries
#Wss366 Flesh #MastoPrompt Inadaquet

The beggar woman sat in a shaded corner. Her cheeks were sallow from her #inadaquet diet of rice, wild grasses, and scraps that people left her. Years of poverty had eaten away at her #flesh until she appeared to be little more than a skeleton under many layers of her tattered robes.

As people walked by, she held out a bowl containing a few stray coins. Accustomed as they were to beggars, her missing arm evoked little sympathy. It was better not to notice beggars.

Her eyes remained dull until children happened by, and then she came alive. From her robes, she would produce bright strings of flags with a dexterity that belied her emaciation. If the parents looked to have money, she produced a dove to delight the child. This might secure her a few more coins, which she would carefully hide to avoid being robbed. The courtesans of Verdigris House and neighboring brothels called her The Flag Lady or just Flag.

Truthfully, she did well at her trade—both of them.

All the time she sought alms, she kept a close watch on “The Mad Frank,” noting anyone who spoke to him. But when Maomao appeared, Flag lowered her head and ceased performing. “Alas, I am too feeble,” she would moan.

In the evening, a man who was half-jokingly referred to as the street steward and his son came by to collect his share. The beggar would perform a few tricks for the son and conclude by saying, “Nothing more.” If anyone had cared to watch closely, the sum she passed the father had little to do with the amount she earned: one, two, three, or four coins. The amount varied not in proportion to her income, but to the number of visitors The Frank had.
