Today’s Music: Gotye – Hearts A Mess
Trifextra challenge:
This weekend, they provide the first 33 words of a story. Entrants have to provide the final 33.
Voting is done by the community, so if you want to, head over to their page and vote. Or just go read the other entries.
Seriously, they get some very talented people!
(*The words in bold are the Trifecta part. The rest is all me…)
“There’s nothing cute about it,” he said. The register of his voice indicated decision more so than discussion.
She disagreed heartily and privately, staring past his head and out the window behind him.
He turned to where she was looking.
Too slowly.
It chomped through the window, leaving nothing of him but twisted glasses and one sock.
She scratched her youngest under it’s maw.
“So Cute.”

The thought of the one sock will probably stick with me for awhile. I also really enjoyed the song and video. What a great video! Funny I was just reading about exclamation marks in my grammer book. It said only use when appropriate. Now I know why learning grammer didn’t stick with me the first time it seems so boring and a little bit confusing at times! ahhh that felt good.

I’m glad the sock will stay with you better than it did with its wearer.
And I feel your pain on the grammar. It’s the apostrophe that will probably do me in, starla…

Your in good company I treat apostrophes like I treat coma’s or is it comas? I like to toss them around like I’m feeding chickens or like grinding pepper. So much to learn so little time. I’m going to continue to plow through my grammer book.
