Windmill in wind

  Danny burst through his apartment door, staggering and dripping from rain.  He stripped down naked, and he wanted to be cold, so cold that every part of his body shivered. Freezing cold.

Danny had flown headfirst into a relationship with Kerry, lovely lovely Kerry. Then he quickly discovered Kerry was superb at creating an intricate windmill of lies

These were so preposterous, linked together with a weaver's skill. Each lie was more elaborate than previous ones. Only Kerry could make her deception an art form.

Yes, Danny wanted to shiver, freeze to escape Kerry's windmill.
 

This is a Wed.Words challenge from Sept. 22, 2013

Thumbing through previous posts shows me where my writing was going. Mostly I re-read the pages, and wonder "What was I thinking?" 

 

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Troubles led her to bow out, but the meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. With Elephant's Child  and other blogger volunteers, Mother Owl's and will find the challenges. Underlined words are of the words available when first posted. Let yourself go.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. My difficulty is using words that were just released. Grant me some forgiveness, greatness cannot be hurried.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. Head on over to play with words

    1. We had a windmill at the bottom of the wheat field. It was very old. Danny didn't think things through.

    2. I enjoy this so much. Writing with a challenge gives me so much pleasure. But then, I have always been like that.

  2. Intriguing, but I could never see shivering and freezing as a way to get over anyone. That would be too much physical pain. For me anyway.
