Right now being discovered was a huge, wild need.
He would be back, her mind said quietly, and relief came comforting like a blanket.
She wanted him to realize her life had wings.

This was written for the Trifextra Challenge for this weekend :)
In explanation, my hubby's away for the weekend, and I'm getting ready to launch my own business as a life coach.
This weekend we are playing another type of word game with you. Below are photos from the 33rd page of one of our very favorite books, Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge. (images here) What we want you to do is to scour the page (click to enlarge), choose 33 words, and reshape those words into a piece of your own. Your piece does not have to tell an entire story. We just want to see what you can do with this particular word bank. Punctuation is up to you. Use whatever you need, whether or not it appears in the photos.
Wow! Very good. A whole coherant story that was interesting. This was a tough prompt. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D Can't beat the story of life :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun, I just grabbed words I liked and put them in Notepad, then started forming sentences with them and ended up with...a piece about my life right now! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you :) One of the classes I'm going to be teaching is Butterfly Wings. We all have energy wings!@ Did you know? I stuck the tip of mine in a light socket first time I realized it... Um, not recommended. :D

DeleteHoly smokes. You guys are nailing these!! Gorgeous words. Good luck with your business. I'm about to do the same, and I know that feeling well. Personally, I just keep telling myself that it's going to work. Willing the universe to give me what I want. . .or something. :-)
