Baby tears, torn heart,
Tight cuddle like a death grip.
'Please, Mammy, don't go!'

Challenge 8
This was my brief:
Write a conversation between two people who don't know each other:
This conversation must change both their lives forever.
To be completed by Thursday 6th October
I'm not sure if I've made this too simple or not... :S
‘ I sentence you to 25 years without eligibility for parole. Your crime is one of the most heinous that this court has ever heard. The fear that you must have invoked in those that you were supposed to be caring for gives me reason to believe that you are one of the most cold hearted and evil women I have ever had the misfortune to meet. Society will be better off without you in it. Take her away…’
‘But I didn’t DO anything.' She screamed and then whispered to herself.
'I didn’t DO it…’

Without her...
I have revised the haiku that I posted yesterday. The sentiment and fear are still the same, but this, to me, felt a little more personal and intimate.
No longer her smile
Nor her breath upon my cheek.
How my heart would break.
No longer her smile
Nor her breath upon my cheek.
How my heart would break.

Without her...
This is technically the second part of the 8th Weekly challenge for the A215 Facebook group. Comments and criticisms welcomed.
Write a haiku about your greatest fear.
No longer her smile
Nor the whisper of her breath.
How my heart would break.

6 Word Story
Leading on from the last entry.
I once wrote a 6 word story in the style of Hemingway. The story I came up with was ambiguous and had a number of responses from a number of people with different interpretations.My interpretation was based on an incident from my own life. This is how it went.
"She's beautiful babe, now say goodbye."

Challenge 6 is to write a story in 140 characters. I thought of the late, great Ernest Hemingway's six word story which he once deemed his best work... "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." It's beautiful and poignant. I'm far from Hemingway, but here's a shot! :)
Peeking through tightly squeezed eyes. The result was in. Nothing would ever be the same again. Smiling, she picked up her phone. “Postive!”
