This week's challenge at Trifecta is to use the third definition of the word bitch creatively, in 33-333 words. The third definition of said word is:
3: something that is extremely difficult, objectionable, or unpleasant
I tried to stay away from this overused cliche, but I just kept coming back to it and finally gave in.
(I made my husband read this, he said I can't sleep with him tonight!)

She clutched the pillow
tightly
and waited
for the last sign of
resistance,
before
softly whispering
the words
he had told her
every
time
she
cried:
"Life's a bitch,
and then you die"(I made my husband read this, he said I can't sleep with him tonight!)
Oh,that's sad yet true!Liked what you wrote though & more so 'cos you are trying to fight back & do something instead of being passive or
ReplyDeletecomplaining:-)
I think I kind of like her.
ReplyDeletelol I'd probably sleep with one eye open if my husband had wrote this! haha nicely executed... the suffocating and the writing ;P
ReplyDeleteLife may be a bitch, but what would we do without pillows to clutch?
ReplyDeleteNicely ambiguous! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat was strong..nicely carved...meaning so well layed-out...your husband has a point!
ReplyDeleteVery good!
ReplyDeleteDamn... I don't blame your husband. A lot said in this short piece. Callous disregard for others feelings.
ReplyDeleteI wish well for your sister.
Yikes! So much said in so few words. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOoooh snap you know it's good if you scared the hubby (:
ReplyDeleteOf course now I'm wondering what provoked her to tell him this now. Nice piece.
ReplyDeleteStrong and sad piece for so few words. Wishing your sister the best of outcomes.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful piece of writing. So much atmosphere in so few words.
