Thirty words …

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!

 

hhhh

 

‘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!’

 

gggggggggggggg

 

Syzygy : the straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and earth

    Lol too funny. Great take. I’m sure you would sound drunk if you tired to utter that word for sure.

    More of Keith’s squashing a challenging word, too much to drink or not. Well done.

    When you go that far, you simply cannot hide it. Great use of the word, very clever.

    Hi Keith – no moons last night … and I guess Bob didn’t miss his sleeps – he was zonked. We’ve certainly winds to blow our cobwebs away … stay safe – Hilary

    Haha! I like this inebriated version of syzygy…

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 5, 2020 / 17:37

      It’s a more interesting word after a couple of drinks! Cheers S.S.

        True! There’s the etymology. That’s when the sun and the moon and the stars align.. :p

Thank you for the sweet dreams. Have a wonderful day and take care my friend for I care. hugs
