There you go with this weeks installment of the Six Sentence Story. I tried something a little different. What’s life without trying something new? Here’s the LINK to go see the stories others have shared. Thanks to Denise for her faithful provision of weekly words and managing all this. You are a gem.
Gripping. Tragic. Sorrowful. So well done, Lisa. The formatting of this piece serves to emphasize the emotion; highlights the implications.
Note: Thank you. I am so appreciative of your weekly participation in SSS; everyone’s participation. So much is offered through our writings. I love the community we are building.

Great format for this SSS. It draws the reader into the emotions of the moment with no room to escape like one might do following a period in a sentence. It is with great relief when we know she escaped and knew enough was enough.

Raw and pungent “your acrid breath of etoh and gall”. Truly ready to make a change.
Made my heart hurt for you.

Ah, one of those ghastly, end-of-the-road arguments. They do leave a bitter taste in one’s mouth.

It’s so sad, and hard to live through.
