Juggernaut – Trifextra Week 77

freyathewriter 14 Comments

 This weekend, the Trifecta team have supplied us with these three words –

– ring

– water

– stage

We need to add another thirty and send back a total of thirty three for their delight and delectation. I assume that they would like something cohesive from us, rather than just a random collection of words – oh the temptation to string together offerings such as dodecahedron and antidisestablishmentarianism, with no punctuation or linkage…

Resist, resist, resist…

I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

– Juggernaut –

The shrill ring shatters your sleep.

Your mouth shrieks for water.

Fearful, knowing.

‘Hello?’

That stage in your life has come.

Too soon; too late to say all that needed to be said.

Process – Trifextra Week 76

This week the Trifecta team have been inspired by recent up close and personal contact with Neil Gaiman, one of my favourite authors. We have been asked to offer our own three words which describe our writing process. Firstly I thought about biscuits. Then tea. Then I got distracted by my desire for both. Then I got serious….I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

DISTILL

DISTORT

DISSEMINATE

Please excuse the strange formatting – I am trying to submit this on my so-called smartphone, on a train, with rubbish connection. I will remove all shouting caps and terrible formatting when I am in front of a real computer. Unless I have spontaneously combusted with frustration before then.

+++ Update: I like tidy. So I have edited the formatting, typos and other glitches that resulted from my smartphone-fest yesterday. Really, I am so anal that I have to resist going way back to the beginning of this blog (well, that was only April this year!) in order to get all the posts in the same font format.

This week, the Trifecta team have taken pity on us, after last week’s prescriptive challenge. This time round, just 33 words, on any theme we like. Ah, freedom (of sorts)!

I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

– Ghost –

This is where my heart splintered.

There – is where healing began.

When I thought I saw you – distance fracturing my certainty –

I understood my wishful thinking.

And the tear rent wide.

Once more.
