Seeking solace in my spiritual home - a local boutique hotel - I saw some english writing belonging to one of the bar staff. I asked her if I could see it & embarrassed she immediately hid it under the bar.
What was the writing for? I pursued. It was a homework piece for English class I was told coyly.
Then I found out where she studied & I told her my friend went to the same school & had just gone up to the level above her. As I have become an English homework specialist I asked which one she was doing. "About smell" she informed me.
I know this one I exclaimed - you have to write about a smell & what memory it is linked to. What are you writing about? I probed to her increasing discomfort. "Jasmine fragrance & my childhood garden"
Oh... I was stopped in my tracks.
Was there something the matter? She enquired.
How old are you? I asked for clarification.
20.
My friend is 15 years older than you, when he did this same homework he wrote about the smell of blood & a mine explosion.
She smiled politely & asked me if I would like another beer.
