The exercise:

Write about someone or something that is: in high demand.

The exercise:

Let's see what we can do with: demands.

We managed to fill most of the restaurant order this morning, only falling short (for the second consecutive week) with the cherry tomatoes. But we more than made up for that with all the blackberries we got them.

I always wonder if they regret asking for 'all' of our available berries when we show up with so many...

Mine:

"Do the kidnappers have any demands?" The chief of police didn't look up from the paperwork on his desk when he asked the question, as though he were barely interested in the answer.

"Well... yes, they've provided us with a short list of things they'd like in exchange for the Hamilton family," his second-in-command replied with a slight grimace.

"And?"

"They, uh... they want extra sprinkles on their donuts for dessert, which they insist on eating in front of the TV, and to stay up past nine o'clock tonight."
