Prompt: 014. milkmaid
1. It was well-known in the area that all of the dairy farmer’s daughters were quite lovely milkmaids. They could be seen doing their chores from dawn to midday.
A. It was well-known in the area that all of the dairy farmer’s daughters were quite lovely milkmaids. They could be seen doing their chores from dawn to midday. But they were forbidden fruit, as their father was known to threaten the life and well-being of any young buck that dared sniff around.
A number of locals had stories to tell of the farmer and his rifle or his gelding knife. There was no one that dared to get close to any of those young women.
They seemed destined to become old maids together.
2. They dressed as a buxom milkmaid and charming shepherd boy the first night of the convention.
A. They dressed as a buxom milkmaid and charming shepherd boy the first night of the convention. When they returned home he demurely allowed himself to be led to bed, the ruffled edge of his petticoat showing when his skirt slipped up his thighs. With the wig and the anachronistic Mary Janes, his knee-sock covered legs looked a mile long and he didn’t hesitate to lock his ankles behind her back and pull her closer.
“Please sir, be gentle with me.” He fluttered dark eyelashes over laughing eyes and pouted his lips outrageously. “It’s my first time.”
3. One bite of the kimchi and she knew it hadn’t been made with crushed red chili peppers. It tasted as though she’d filled her mouth with powdered cayenne; it was overpowering.
A. One bite of the kimchi and she knew it hadn’t been made with crushed red chili peppers. It tasted as though she’d filled her mouth with powdered cayenne; it was overpowering.
After a quick glance around to make sure no one was watching, she spat the mouthful of kimchi and rice into the paper napkin. Then she took a large drink from her glass of water, swishing a little to wash away the flavor.
“Not good?”
She looked up and gave a wry smile. “Pretty obvious, huh?”
“You did look mildly perturbed. It makes me think you’re not going to recommend the kimchi.”
“Yeah, I’d give it a pass. Let’s see how everything else tastes.” She felt bad. This was the only “Korean” restaurant in a hundred miles and she was ruining the evening with her pickiness.
