Wednesday Words: Xander and Termite Tents

This is what I found in my closet. I screamed.

Xander viewed the striped termite tent with pride, acknowledging to his crew that this job was awesome.  Their work and skill more than matched company standards and high expectations.

Before starting the poisonous agent, Xander used a microlight drone over the roof, checking for any possible gaps.  “All clear, guys.  We got ‘er done.” 

Termidor© gas seeped slowly into the empty house.

But the house was not quite empty.  From beneath old wardrobe crept three rats, nasty rats.  They perched on a chair and sniffed the air. “Well, now.  That’s something we don’t smell everyday…

Welcome to Wednesday Words!  This meme was created by Delores at Under the Porch Light to encourage writers to "break out of a slump" or to experience a different genre.  Bloggers can use these words in poetry, prose, flash fiction, song---whatever suits. Post the words in your blog any day that week or even the next.

When Delores' computer went wacky, Elephant's Child provided bloggers with all sorts of interesting words (that crazy lady).  River,  followed by Jacqueline, Susan, and Margaret Adamson with friend Sue volunteered to provide word lists, photo prompts, or completing a sentence prompt.

If you would like to participate, check Elephant's Child for words.  You may place your creation in the comment section, or if you wish, at your own site (linking it back to E.C).

If you would like to volunteer to supply words, let Elephant's Child know.  

Phew.
