my 1st fff, again

right people, this is my 1st time running a flash fiction friday so please bear with me if there are glitches still to work out. i actually got some triggers, thank you, please keep them coming so i can keep this coming.
those now joining us, this here post-link is full of (short) examples of how this works, starting with one of my favourite fff's linked in the 1st sentence. the (now slightly edited, so do reread) rules are also @ bottom of this post. and big up jj (sidebar) for getting us here.

this week's trigger is a starter:
it was the smell of cinnamon...

rules of engagement:
you will send in your suggestions for triggers (starter sentences, closers, titles, inclusion clauses, etc.) anytime during the week up to 11.55am friday, trinbago timezone; i will post the new fff trigger by noon friday trinbago timezone.
if your trigger is not chosen and you feel it is too wonderful not to be chosen, you will send it in again the next week.
you will write an anecdote, short story, or novel length prose poem using the trigger provided.
you will add comments and appropriate linkage to the trigger-post indicating your desire to participate and the completion of your story (don't need a blogger/gmail account to comment on my blog).
you may join in at any time prior to the deadline.
you will display your story as a post on your own blog (or fasbook note or whatever, once we can all read it- please make sure we can all access the link to read it, not just those who are your friends on fasbook; there's a way to create public links for that, right?).
you will be done by monday noon trinbago timezone.
write fresh!
walk good.
