Streamers fluttered the day you arrived. You turned them on completing the class of 1980. We celebrated your life and laid you to rest under a war torn flag today. We’ll miss you.
—————————————————————————–
The Trifextra Challenge is to
Give us 33 words (exactly) that tell us three different uses for one object. But don’t just tell us that a can opener can be used to 1) open cans, 2) open beer bottles and 3) break a window in case of a fire. Tell us a story.
Those sharp editors are so crafty – sharp like the knife in their quote (go and see). Not sure this lives up to the challenge, but it’s where my not-so-sharp mind landed. I chose strips of cloth as my object.
What about YOU????
Flags do that don’t they? Such meaning, such emotion carried in a flag. Great choice!
Very nicley written and moving story. Strips of cloth can mean many things.
A very emotional take on the prompt. I think this piece holds up to the challenge very well.
Very powerful story; you chose three events that represents strips of cloth so well!
I hope this one is fiction. Though I’m sure for someone it’s true. Class of 1980 is still way too young to die now.
You described well three milestones in a lifetime. Thanks for playing along with us again this week. Be sure to come back tomorrow for the new challenge.
