This week’s quote about a narrow escape from being roasted called to mind all sorts of images, from marshmallows to dragons. Each one has its own flair and shows how differently our imaginations work.

I knew there was going to be marshmallows somewhere there. It was one of the first ideas that popped to my mind as well. :) Excellent works this week!
I think it's a snarking good bunch of entries myself-
Snarking fun! Roberta's Marshmallows were my favorite.
Roberta and Arthur get the biggest chuckles this week. I never in a million years would have thought to make anthropomorphic marshmallows for this one. The cookies crack me up too. "Not the gumdrop buttons!"
I wonder if someday the author of the original book will stumble upon these illustrations of his line and say, "What the hey! That's my snarking line!"
Andy, I clipped these out of dozens prepublication science fiction and fantasy manuscripts over the years. I have completely forgotten which ones they come from, or even what was the context in the original stories. The excerpts are so brief and out-of-context that I presume that the original author, if they chanced on a familiar line, would be surprised at how wide open the interpretations can be.
What a fun activity! I've been a bit out of the loop from interwebland due to moving and it seems I'm a bit late to catch this newest challenge, but I shall certainly have to tackle the next! Some wonderful entries being posted here.
