The challenge? Write a story in exactly 6 sentences based on Denise’s one word prompt: WIRE. Visit, comment, and write & perhaps post your own on SIX SENTENCE STORIES. The Café is open. Come as you are!
Patience was never my virtue.
Outwardly calm while
Rats stage a rave
In the pit
The very base of my belly,
Desire and nerves beg expression.
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why do I keep waiting?
You emerge from the fairy mound
Head tipped
Half smile sly
Pomegranate held forth
In tapered slender fingers
Memories mist from the underworld.
I forego
Forget all else.

Why wait? Sometimes it’s a lost cause to try stopping.

I love a Six that uses language in a such a manner that the Reader: a) wonders if there are additional rhetoric easter eggs and 2) go back and have as much fun on the re-read as the first time.
fun
