Prompt: 058. potpourri<\/h1>\n

1. The overwhelming scent of a floral air refresher.<\/h2>\n

A. The overwhelming scent of a floral air refresher made her want to gag. She waved her hands around in front of her face to disperse some of the smell and backed out of the room.<\/p>\n

“Who sprayed all that potpourri? It’s overwhelming!” She began coughing uncontrollably, her throat and lungs burning.<\/p>\n

A. Someone had added sachets of potpourri to the cedar chests of winter clothes before they’d been put away. With every opening lid, another memory of last year’s summer was relived, and the mood in the hall brightened as everyone breathed deep.<\/p>\n

A woman’s voice rose in song and others quickly joined in with the jaunty tune. They could all feel the excitement of a new spring. They’d spent months locked away behind the Iron Gates, hiding from the Kings of Winter. It would be good to be able to breathe the open air again.<\/p>\n
