This week’s words to play with: Earthy Jasmine Sulfuric Exhaust Peppermint Acrid (sharp or biting to the taste or smell; bitterly pungent; irritating to the eyes, nose, etc.) Sudor (sweat) Musk Bouquet Incense Coffee Fetor (stench) Antiseptic Redolence (having a pleasant odor, reminiscent) Sunshine
Wayne and Greg the divine representatives of the Heavenly and the Hell-like were meeting in Hell’s Coffee Shop for their weekly meeting. They met in this particular café because without a doubt it sold the best coffee and when you were a divine entity the best was all you desired.
They had had discussions before about the virtues of their respective places of abode. Greg liked the earthy atmosphere of the Archangel Toasted Sandwich Emporium though its coffee was terrible, even the Angels avoided it when they could but it did make the best toasted sandwiches in all eternity. That along with the overwhelming aroma of Jasmine was enough for Wayne to come down with severe hay fever every time he acquiesced to meeting up there.
For Wayne the sulfuric vapors coming from the exhausts of hell’s fires was enough to settle him and make him lust for more. There was nothing better than the acrid smell of sulphur getting up your nose and finding a happy home amongst your smell senses to just make your day.
Greg on the other hand always carried a handkerchief laced with peppermint to ward off the acrid smells which did nothing for his delicate senses. It wasn’t long before Greg found himself and his person oozing sudoriferously from every pore of his angelic person. He hated sweating, he hated even more that when he returned to his heavenly cloud (in heaven one’s house/home was always referred to as one’s cloud) he would need to use bottles of antiseptic just to get the smell out of his wings which were very sensitive to the fetor of slime and repulsiveness that permeated the air.
To Wayne of course it was all very redolent, he all but basked in the bouquet of pungentness, to him it was as if an incense was clearing the air of evil unpleasant odours. For Wayne it was musk that he couldn’t stand. It got up his nose and was the perfect thing to spoil a good coffee. For some reason in heaven everywhere you went there was the smell of musk which he suspected was the heavenly bosses’ way of keeping Wayne and his like out of Heaven. And it worked perfectly.
And so the two heavenly divinities sat as they did so often under a sulfur cloud, enjoying the best coffee and the best sushi oblivious to the sunshine pouring down upon the earth outside, Greg holding his peppermint laced hanky to his nose between sips and Wayne breathing deeply thinking what a lucky angel he had been to find himself in such a desirous place.

Oh goodness hats off to your wonderful imagination. A veritable delight of the sensors (scent-sors) 😊
Lol….thanks Jen, not too smelly I hope…😀
Nope 😉
Wayne and Greg are growing on me! I can imagine that coffee shop. Does it have music? AC/DC by any chance?
I think the music is as various as is the quality of the great food and coffee😀
I love Wayne and Greg, the oppositeness, the peculiar friendship, great use of the words!
Thanks Yves, it was a challenge but Hell’s Coffee Shop seemed a place full of scent. Hope you are doing well.
The perfect place for a Wordle about smell!
I thought so, I’m glad I could get this weeks done as I’ve been out of sorts lately and not been able to write as much I’d like to…
I have missed you and was so happy to see you! You can always submit to the prompts even if the week has passed I am always happy to read. Is it something in particular that has happened or is it a mental/emotional state?
I had some foot surgery which knocked me around a bit but I’m good now….my bandaged foot will be unbandaged on Thursday I am hoping…
I wish you a swift recovery and hope that the foot will be up and running in no time!
So do I…thanks for the well wishes… 🙂
May I asked what happened to the foot?
I had a bone fusion done, big toe joint was fused to the foot bone bit…..the result of years of uric acid build up such that I have little to no movement left in the joint and pain when I walked, hopefully this op will take away the pain…
Ouch I hope so too, my step uncle had that as well (he lived with us) and I remember how it was for him
Here’s to your recovery Michael – and praying that you will be feeling better with each passing day 🙂
Another amazing Wayne and Greg story – set so well and fantastically, love the awesome use of the wordle and the expansion (for us) into their special world; always a delight to discover more about them 😀
Thank you Pat they are very happy to be written about, well Wayne is Greg tends to get a bit stuffy.
LOL 😉
