This week’s #carrotranch prompt is
July 16, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that expresses the phrase, “scream inside your heart.” Who is involved and why is the scream contained? Go where the prompt leads
‘Can I ask you something, Logan?’
‘Would it stop you if I said no?’
‘Do you ever scream inside your heart?’
‘Hmm. I mumble in my stomach a bit if I eat broccoli.’
‘I’m talking about screaming in…’
‘And when you made me do that jog, my buttocks screamed for about a week…’
‘No, listen, I’m serious…’
‘… and my uncle Barney has a heart murmur…. which I suppose might become a scream if he doesn’t stick to that raw radish diet…’
‘Logan…’
‘No.’
‘Never?’
‘If I’m that passionate about something it has to come out.’
‘Me too.’
‘I know.’

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

“I mumble in my stomach a bit if I eat broccoli” Lol. Thanks for the laugh, Geoff.

A raw radish diet could be an unpleasant cure, Geoff. I do think these two are bonding on their journey.

Let screams out, yes… but should these two be let out?

I doubt they’d get early release for good behaviour
