Three Word Wednesday






The rules, if you wanna call 'em that, are here.
Today's Words: Breath, Scattered, Tomorrow

Time
She breathed out a long, slow breath. Scattered, loving memories of her family and friends invaded the totality of her consciousness. Tomorrow didn’t matter any more. She flickered....and then she was gone.

I echo what TC said. It's the flickered that catches me.

She breathed out and then was invaded. I had expected she would release. I will think on this.

My breath stunk so bad, all the pigeons in the park scattered when I yelled at them. To hell with them. Rats with wings. NBD, I'll brush my teeth tomorrow.

She let out a long, slow breath after the cum was scattered all over the room and was too tired to clean it up now. She said she'd do it tomorrow.

Off with her head!

Somehow I didn't think of sad things with these words, as did so many others.

Hard to handle, but nice.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

I wrote this short piece because the words of the day reminded me of my experience holding my mother as she left this troubled earth of ours.
