Maybe she'll grow into it

...child: This is surely more of a threat than a promise. Look at the massive hen's foolish face! It's clearly about two seconds away from flapping around the little girl's village, knocking pans off stoves and pecking all the 'Welcome, hen!' balloons the girl's mother spent a month's wages on to sorry bits. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that thoughtless hen's actions result in a donkey...

Shelter

... the drips run down the dome when things start to warm up. You'll all be excited to know that the heat from the camp stoves will cause melt that will freeze in the cracks once the stoves go off, and in the morning the igloos will be so strong we can stand on them."

Fanfic100 Red vs Blue: Freelancer Alison Tex and Private Leonard L. Church #58 Dinner

... died, the two remaining Blues scrapped the set meal times, making food more of an eat-what-you-find event than anything else. At least it was until Caboose turned up. Four charred stoves and three broken freezers later, they learned that the rookie should never under any circumstances be allowed in the kitchen unsupervised. Ever. After that there was something of a set schedule behind their...

The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday [12/4]

It should have been the perfect day to finish putting up holiday decorations, but Mary had other things to take care of first. Her farm needed to be tended to, there were dishes on her stoves, and she had fish to feed. Sometimes it was a wonder that she got anything done when she wasn't playing on Facebook. Welcome to the Arms Hotel! Today's Special Stewed Butternut Squash with Apples and ...

Summer of 1985

... over my bare legs. I looked over at Brian. His eyes never left the TV. “Hundreds of years ago, they thought the world was flat,” he said quietly. “There was a world without electricity or gas stoves or microwaves or phones. Someone had to dream the car, the plane, the ability to have light during night time, without fire.” He smiled wistfully before turning to look at me. “I want to fly. In the ...

Indoor Natural Gas Explosion

...a hazard, but how long would it take time-wise? A few seconds? A couple of minutes? The story is set 50 years in the future, and we're assuming the gas lines and industrial gas stoves haven't changed significantly from today's. I've Googled: Natural gas leaks, natural gas hazards, calculating vapor pressure, natural gas safety, natural gas psi, natural gas explosions, natural gas fires. Thanks ...

Smelly

The whole night smells of wood smoke. Multiple fireplaces and wood stoves must be blazing. It's very unlikely there'd be a wildfire this time of year, especially after the recent rains. Still, the smell is a disturbing reminder. I'm getting very Internet lazy. I keep going to the same sites over and over and seldom see anything new.
