I was inspired early in the morning to write two different stories based on this title. The other can be found here.
Deviled Eggs

Title by Ashely Schaaf Botha
The potluck at the VFW was already filling up by the time Ann arrived. Kids were chasing each other outside and a few adults were clustered in small groups, chatting away. Ann grabbed a big covered plastic tub out of the back seat of her car as Mac came over to help.
“These your deviled eggs, Annie?” he said.
“You bet, Mac. Go ahead and grab some of that Tupperware and take it inside.” Ann hadn’t owned an actual piece of Tupperware in years, but every plastic container was called that by most people in these parts.
Mac helped carry in the eggs and as a reward was given an advance egg that he could not resist.
“Best deviled eggs around, as usual.” Mac smiled as he finished chewing up his treat.
