I Know What I Am
Gillian knew the answer but still asked.
“What is it?”
His face was white, like the skull mandible he held. David answered her, in a hushed tone.
“It’s definitely alien. Just like me.”

This is my 33 word response to this prompt from Trifect Writing challenge. http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/

Here’s a ripping rock tune from Band of Skulls, I Know What I am. It’s sets a tone and sounds great. Play it at skull crushing level.

Um, how do you do it? I’m so impressed that you can write awesome for a prompt and then trump it with a song that fits with the prompt. Good. Damn. Job.
deb, if wordplay and music knowledge could cure cancer, then I’m be worth something to society…instead, I blog.
thank you
Nice.

Heres another idea to tuck away for later. This was fabulous, Lance!

Thanks for linking up to this weekend’s Trifecta Challenge. I think you’re our only alien this week.
Your response is tight–a good balance between dialogue and description. And creepy, too. All that in 33 words. #Nice. Hope to see you back on Monday for the weekday challenge.
I like the play on colors: G is pale like the skull. I can feel David’s sense of loneliness here – and fear – is he next?
I like the way we’re left wondering if he’s paranoid and a little nuts or really an alien!
thanks for “getting” that…definitely what I was aiming for.
