| Sue Spitulnik Jan 7 | Mardi Gras Costume thought process...try thinking outside of the box. Something in red. It was January when the college student started planning. She collected multiple plastic milk jugs over the next few weeks to make the desired shapes. She bought white duct tape and the correct type fire-engine red paint. She went to Amazon.com and purchased a long white night shirt. The construction was more challenging than she had expected, but on parade day, it proved worth it. The red stove pipe hat said BIG in white letters, and the raised red button that covered her front read EASY. Note: New Orleans nickname is The Big Easy, and the red Easy button is from a TV commercial for Staples office supply store.
Written in in response to Charli Mills January 2, 2024 at Carrot Ranch Literary, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story using the color red. It can be a descriptor, a setting, a character, or a metaphor. How far can you get in a story by expanding "red"? Go where the prompt leads!
