Saturday Mix Lucky Dip 7th January

Sarah is our host for the MLMM Saturday Mix and we have a whole new load of challenges coming up.
Sarah says:
For this challenge, I will be using “Rory’s Story Cubes” to generate 9 random “ideas” for inclusion in your response. I use story cubes with my students at school and just like the lucky dips from our childhood, you never know what you’re going to get! You need to use a minimum of 5 cubes, or for an extra challenge, try and use all 9. The cubes can be interpreted any way you like and for your response it is your choice to use poetry or prose.Okey dokey then……….
She was running late because she’d got so engrossed in her book, she almost missed the flight!
The story was a mass of chess moves, a whodunnit of the highest order with red herrings, twists and throwaway characters coming out of every chapter. It had been hard to put down and she was waiting to see if her ‘culprit’ was the female of the iffy heritage referred to by her family as The Poison Dwarf.
Racing down to arrivals, she saw her aunt coming out of the line with her small wheeled carry on suitcase. She was now using a walking stick since her stroke the previous year, and her face lit up like a rainbow of smiles when she saw her niece holding a small posy of her favourite flowers in welcome.

My words used for the cube were:
flowers, book, late (clock), chess, rainbow, poison, flight, iffy heritage (DNA), and walking stick.

Hope you enjoyed my tale for this fun challenge!
