Our amazing homophone hour
Write a Ficlet in which the first and last words are a pair of homophones. The primary criteria for selection will be the thematic appropriateness of the chosen words to the story. In other words, the words should seem natural to the story. Extra homophones in the story are allowed but don't go overboard. "A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms."
