I’m not sure exactly what about this challenge made me giggle internally, but every time I thought of the word snapped I imagined comical entries with funny twists at the end.  I imagined fictional characters telling off the person who made the mistake that broke the camel’s back, I imagined funny dialogues, etc.  My imagination went wild with this word, and I probably should’ve written my own 100 words to give license to my mind that was giddily dancing around the word.

Snapped is a word that can conjure up many things.  A mind that snapped, a sound, a sharp bite…there were many possibilities.  Let’s see what y’all did with the word.

First, Rhoni Renee is my pick of the week with her take on Snapped.  I liked that she went with a different interpretation than what most of us gravitated toward, though everyone as always had their own interesting spin.

The sound flowed from her headphones, winding its way through her. She sighed as unseen colors swirled and pulsated, wrapping around her, cradling her from the stress and worries of the outside world. Nothing mattered at this moment. For now the inbox full of requests was closed; she wouldn’t hear the phone ringing persistently in the background. She relaxed as haunting melodies soothed her thoughts; she settled as her breathing and heart beat began to match the steady bass. And she smiled as her fingers snapped along with the rhythm. For now, all that existed was her and the music.

In other words…

  • The clever Night Blogger. 
  • Don’t mess with the lad mags.
  • Don’t mess with Patsy either!  (Just kidding, it’s fiction folks.)
  • The heart break of abuse.
  • Throw the TV out the window.
  • Secret Agent learning how to “just be”.

For those of you rejoining, YAY!  I’m so happy to see you again (I’m lookin at you Secret Agent Mama).  For those of you that are new, welcome!  And for those of you lurking, visiting, or serendipitously stumbling your way here, speak up, we’d love to hear what you have to say in 100 words.  (If you need a debriefing on the challenge, go here)  This week’s word is from a little gem of a book I found called, “A Short Guide to a Happy Life” (because it really doesn’t take a whole lot of words to lay the groundwork for good living):

Myself

Oh, and Alba picked the word this week.

With love,
