Reap – Trifextra Week 80

This weekend, the Trifecta team’s Trifextra challenge asks us to write only 33 words, including the word ‘tooth’, but excluding stories of milk-teeth tooth loss. 

Here’s my offering this week. It’s weird, came out of nowhere and I’m not sure what to make of it – are you? Let me know!

And… why not visit here to read all the other brilliant offerings?! Or, take part yourself….

– Reap –

I created a monster out of you.

 I moulded you to my desires.

 I wished. Here you are.

 Like the jagged tooth of a cheap comb, you cut me.

 And

Made

Me

Bleed.

“Mr Riordan – may I call you Aaron?”

“No, you are a mere journalist. You may not.”

“Mister Riordan, your latest installation seems to be yet another spectacular failure!”

She readied herself for the right hook. He was unpredictable at the best of times.

Nothing happened. 

“I’ve lost my edge,” he whispered. “I’m done in. I can’t do this any more…”

“No, no, no!” 

“All I wanted was for one person to look at my Bloke In A Dress – instead, everyone turned away!”

“Mr Riordan – please. People here don’t like what’s different, they can’t cope with it. So they look away. It’s them, not you.”
