TRIFEXTRA: 'LOST'
This post is in response to this weekend's Trifecta Trifextra challenge.
Write a story entitled 'Lost' in exactly 33 words. The word 'lost' can only appear in the title, not your 33 words.
LOST
She forced her eyes open. Heavy. With every blink the pain intensified. Agony. Her brain was foggy. Confusion. A kind face, a gentle voice. “The surgery is over. You did just fine.” Relief.
Oh, I remember this feeling. We can never get those hours back, nor would we want to. But, it is SO confusing to wake up and be so confused. Great take.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Thanks for reading. I really liked your take as well!
DeleteHmm. I never would have thought of that! Good imagery!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI can see this especially after an accident.
ReplyDeleteAwww! I was hoping this would fit into the last 7 cures! ;) thanks!
Delete:( And we both just keep these themes alive. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yep, our recent exchange did inspire my thoughts for this. I find that writing about it is a little therapeutic.
DeleteNice take on the prompt. Definitely lost after surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly!
DeleteA different approach. Totally able to relate.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a different approach. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteIt does feel like we're lost when waking from surgery. Didn't think about it that way before...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janna!
DeleteLove what you brought to this.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't have thought to use that imagery for the word.
Thanks, Guapo! Yes, been on my mind lately, so I thought I would write it out. ;)
DeleteOh, this was an excellent take on the prompt. Having recently undergone my first colonoscopy, I remember Lex in the recovery room, smiling and reassuring me that all was well... Good work! Peace, Amy

Thanks, Amy! I really enjoyed your piece as well. ;)
DeleteI was so afraid for her. I liked the way you let us realize what was happening as she did. It made her easy to connect with in such a short space.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you said that! Thanks! ;)
DeleteThat moment of waking up, muddy brained, can be scary and disconcerting.
ReplyDeleteLike so many of the others, I have to say that this was a surprising, but very successful, response to the prompt. It's very apt. Nice job. Thanks for linking up and hopefully see you for the weekday challenge starting on Monday.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'll definitely see you!
DeleteVery true, I can relate.
