Six Sentence Sundays 4/8/12

4/8/2012

22 Comments

 
A big thank you to everyone who read and commented last week.  Your words help me to stay focused and inspired.

Last week we met Ellen as she pulled pictures containing her soon to be ex-husband's face from the walls and flung them into a garbage bag.  This week's six sentences come from the same scene.  Ellen has noticed their wedding picture across the room, grabbed a fire poker and taken a running start.



She beat it mercilessly.  “Love!  Honor!  Cherish!”  She took a breath to steady herself for one last blow and muttered, “keep thee only unto, my ass!”  Stepping on the shards for good measure she headed for the master bedroom, ignoring the doorbell’s insistent chiming.

Poor, Ellen! I hope her rage helps some of her hurt. Great six! I wonder who's at the door? Hopefully not her husband. She is holding a fire poker, after all!

Wow, powerful stuff, Kate. Nice job pulling us into her emotions and letting us experience her angst along with her. Well done! Happy Easter Sunday to you. :)

OMG, I died laughing over this! I love that she took a running start before beating the crap out of his picture, and then taking a steadying breath before going back to it. Hilarious!

ROFL! Great pacing and humor. Love that 'my ass' in the midst of it.

(FYI, thanks for leaving a comment on my six last week. Your feedback is really appreciated.)

I feel bad for anyone who steps in her way at this point. I thought tearing down the pictures would calm her, but it seems to have only put her further into a frenzy. The action energy in this is great.

She's one pissed off lady. Enjoyed the scene. Very visual. I could picture it happening.

She is so angry that I felt bad for laughing... but I loved the humor you wove into your emotional six. :)
