From the One-Minute-Writer fiction prompt "toaster:"

Black smoke rose from the ancient toaster, filling the tiny motel room with the pungent odor of charred bread.   Sparks flew from the exposed outlet as she ripped the plug from its grasp, sending a roach scurrying across the counter out of their fiery path.

My eldest has finally flown the coop and my pedophile parents have made contact with her. Consequently, I set some boundaries and SURPRISE!!!: She's pissed. I love motherhood and hate my parents. http://bit.ly/Li41v6
