Prompt: 066. rice<\/h1>\n

1. It was his first attempt at making rice on the stove. How could he have known it would result in a fire?<\/h2>\n

A. It was his first attempt at making rice on the stove. How could he have known it would result in a fire? There was no reason for everyone–including the firefighters–to look at him as though he were an idiot. It wasn’t like he was the one that left the roll of paper towels so close to the open flame.<\/p>\n

He’d been chopping vegetables while the rice simmered, and then there’d been fire climbing up the wall and the smoke detectors were blaring in every room. He’d tried to use the fire extinguisher, but some joker had used it to create a rollerskate rocket and it was empty.<\/p>\n

He’d had no hope of stopping the fire himself.<\/p>\n

2. All they had left were a few strips of dried meat and a cup of uncooked rice. They weren’t going to make it.<\/h2>\n

A. All they had left were a few strips of dried meat and a cup of uncooked rice. They weren’t going to make it. It was something she had to admit, if only to herself.<\/p>\n

They’d left Mattonville too late in the year and without enough supplies. She’d tried to tell her husband that they needed more food as the game would be scarce, but he’d smacked her and told her to shut her mouth. So she had.<\/p>\n

Now her children were going to die because she hadn’t been strong enough to stop their father from being a fool.<\/p>\n

3. Tteokbokki simmered in the electric frying pan. The tube-shaped rice cakes looked and smelled deliciously spicy.<\/h2>\n

A. Tteokbokki simmered in the electric frying pan. The tube-shaped rice cakes looked and smelled deliciously spicy. It made her feel proud of herself.<\/p>\n

She’d soaked the uncooked rice for a day, drained it, then ground it in the coffee mill to make her own Korean-style rice flour. And now she had her own homemade spicy rice cakes that were nearly ready to eat.<\/p>\n

Her stomach gurgled at the smell and her mouth watered. She couldn’t wait for the tteokbokki to be done.<\/p>\n
