for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Syzygy and the limit just 30 words which is a bit of a challenge for flash fiction writers such as I!
‘Hello, Syzygy darlin’ slurred Bob.
‘You’ve been drinking’ said Suzie.
‘Oh no I haven’t’.
‘Oh yes you have’.
‘Look, three moons all in a row!’
‘Oh yes, you definitely have!’
Syzygy : the straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and earth
A whole new meaning to syzygy!
