A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words (Or, Exactly Fifty): The Last Supper of a Tasty Secret

Image by @wakeupkitty, used for the purpose of responding to this Freewriters initiative

What I see: A couple in the kitchen, on a snowy evening in the late 19th century or early 20th century before electricity (candles and a kerosene lamp). He appears to have fallen asleep while looking at some drawings, and he must be really tired to have fallen asleep at the kitchen table. His wife seems very concerned, and she is holding a pencil.

What I feel: They are in a quiet crisis, even though they have plenty. Something has to change.


Her beloved was so tired from work he had fallen asleep, his elbow on some wheat she had not ground yet, his cup of soup getting cold.
She knew it was time to write down the secret recipe of that soup, and in freeing it, freeing it to free them.

I just love how you explain the pictures leaving out no detail. I never saw the lantern or candles untill I read your post

I try to pick up every detail ... believe it or not, the shorter the story -- and I have chosen 50 words for these -- the more detail you need to grasp and convey per word.

I remember the time each time I had served dinner I fell asleep.
