Words on the page jumbled as contamination finally took hold. Her hand trembled, shoulders slumped and brow furrowed as the answers eluded her. She exhaled resignation, too late…and as good as dead.
(33 Words)
After joining the Trifecta Writing Challenge last week for the first time and winning, wow! I thought I’d have a go at this week’s challenge. A photo prompt and a story in just 33 words.
Go and take a look at this week’s entries here.
The Last Krystallos 
Oh, so sad. Well expressed!
Ooh, cool take on the prompt! Love it! 🙂
To die, surrounded by books, isn’t the worst way to go. Too bad she died just before earning the wings that would carry her through life. Wings of an angel now, I suppose. 🙂 Well done and, btw, congratulations on such an award-winning debut! The kudos were well-deserved. 🙂
Grim, but I like it!
Hmm, I read the “contamination” less literally, more like the self-doubt or despair that plagues any writer or scholar. I like that it can be taken various ways. Great job on this piece, and congrats on last week’s win! Hope we see more of you at Trifecta. 🙂
Thanks Christine, and all, 33 words allows for ambiguity!
Ah, that moment when it’s all just too much.
