Trifextra: Week Eight.
"Lost" in 33 words, and the inspiration word can only appear in the title. Here goes.

"Lost the thread"
We string life episodes into life history.
Once, three sisters were weaving, measuring, and cutting. They’ve
been buried in science; we know now how the scissors work.
hmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeletedeepness - I like :)
Thanks!
DeleteSomething is buried deep in that one. You've risen my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say more, but 33 words . . . I suppose the deepens is really unfinished business with this bit.
DeleteMakes me think of the Stephen King novel Insomnia, in which the sisters are thwarted.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that one. I'll put it on my list.
DeleteI wish you had more words for this challenge - I'd like to read more about this!

DeleteI wish I did, too. This is a very distiller version of what I wanted to write about.
Delete"Distilled!" Whoops.
DeleteI'm still digesting this one a day later. Very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, DMarsh. Glad you're percolating the piece.
DeleteYes, you leave me wanting more! Is science hindering the making of life history -- the thread of life? So glad to see you back. Thanks to you, I'm hooked on these challenges now!
ReplyDeleteI obviously did not know the The Fates in Greek Mythology, so thank you for teaching me something new, and congratulations on the win!
DeleteThanks for the kind words! The Fates are a neat trio.
DeleteOh, do I ever like this. I 'get' it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteYour use of words is beautiful. Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda! Lovely of you to say.
DeleteThis is amazing! Congrats on first place!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate the good wishes and the compliment.
DeleteOh my gosh; this is brilliant! I'm so glad it won.
