Denise, at GirlieontheEdge, venerable hostess of Six Sentence Stories, puts out a prompt word EVERY week. All she asks is that the response is in six sentences, no more no less. And yet, I often fail to appear, as a story often fails to appear. I’m not proud of what I’m presenting this week for the prompt word “lounge”, but I am glad to make an appearance among the Sixarians. Let this serve as proof that Denise is serious when she says you can play along just for fun. Go HERE to link in and read more Sixes.
Dismembering the Prompt by D. Avery
.
I remember they were in the lounge.
O, one of them suddenly made a lunge!
E!, he knifed the other, piercing a lung.
N, he’d seemed a distinguished man of letters, not a lug.
Ug, an ‘ell of a thing— I was quite undone, u know?
.
Gee, u must long for arrest, perhaps in the lounge?
Nice dismembering of the word “lounge” with each letter reporting its perspective on what happened.

Thanks Frank, I amused myself then thought, Why not, it’s six sentences.

You’re very kind. I am hoping to come up with something more serious, but we’ll see how that goes.

I agree with Dale, it’s really quite clever. I definitely enjoyed reading it, and then further enjoyed it knowing how much thought you needed to put into creating this.

Excellent, D. Wordplays and form delight, plus a bit of Cluedo (Clue) or A. Christie (so I imagined). The prompt word takes on a life all of its own.

Thank you. Yes, it did take on a life of its own; I’d considered keeping it behind closed doors, but here it is, catching air. I’m glad it works outside.

Brilliant, D… just brilliant!
And if I may, you have been around the SSS long enough (seen your pen back from when Zoe was hostess) to have second thoughts about experimentation 😉

That is totally my go-to perspective ’round these here parts, here.
Fun Six.
