OneWord - "Mercury"
The prompt over at OneWord is “mercury.” A little stream of consciousness. I kinda like it.
Emotions rise and fall like quicksilver in a glass vessel; shocking heat rises in his cheeks, sending the mercury rising.
Her coolness feigns a drop in surface temperature, but it’s all an act. Cool to the touch, but she’s a smoldering match tucked into tinder.
