Ha this is my kind of prompt! 😆 I’m currently writing a short story where Death is a character and another from the point of view of Misery personified. Might give your prompt a go, but 52 word count is just terrifying for a rambler like me.
Ooooh that sounds like an awesome story 🙂 is it a short or a novel? Love the idea of misery personified.
Haha it’s a challenge but a good one 😜
Short story! It’s between its third and fourth draft. I’m hoping to send it in for a competition but if it doesn’t win, it’ll end up on my blog I’m sure. It’s called ‘Mr Misery’ because I’m terrible at titles 😆
do it do it do it 😀 you must send it. Let me know how it does too 😀

Hi Sacha.
here’s my effort this week.

Ok, not my kinda thing but that’s precisely why I’m giving it a go:
I have kissed many, bitten still more but it’s the ones I just lick that excite me. I love to watch them blanch and crumple. I shower in the light draining from their eyes and pat their hope about like a cat with a mouse. I live in those I don’t take.
ooooooooh now that is twisted, I adore the image of a cat playing with a mouse. Super entry 😀
Thanks Sacha!
Just found your challenge. I love the idea of 52 Word Flash. Here’s my take on this week’s POV…Death Personified.
