Writing Prompt #1: Squirrel Brains

I was looking for a name for this blog and I came across this article.

http://www.lifesongadventures.com/2007/10/how-to-brain-tan-a-squirrel/

The author is explaining how to take a squirrel that was hit by a car and turn it into a wee soft furry rug to “honor the animal.” One of the steps given is rubbing the pelt with the included squirrel brains.

Grossed-out, fascinated and ready for your prompt? Find a how-to for something foreign to you (or use this one) and write a scene where the action is important to your main character, whether it’s a center of conflict, a sacred ritual, or a triumph.

And mad props if you’re now really tempted to make a squirrel rug.
