pain (times) 8

an attempt to add 8 lines to Project Monster M*a*s*h

pain (times) 8

 

he stretched his wings so furiously as he

watched the plane go down.

he wore his mask of desperation,

complete with the phony frown.

the tragedy he’s living now gives him

his macabre glow;

he displayed the blade triumphantly just so

everyone would know.

This was part of a collaborative project; I was invited to write 8 lines, any topic. This is what I came up with in a pinch. Not my best writing. Thank you for the read, I should not have even sent out read requests. take care...dan

You must fill me in, Dan...I'm a little lost here.

Kelly, I was invited to send an 8 line write for a collaborative piece with others sending 8 line writes. So I just threw this together very quickly...I didn't really understand what I was supposed to write, so in other words I'M a little lost here also. Thank you for the read. take care...dan

Very strong descriptions in such a short piece. Very nice :)

Don't know if I did this right but it was to be added to BLitZeD's Project Monster M*a*s*h*. There were no instructions on how to add my 8 lines to the piece, so I just winged it. Thank you for your review. take care...dan

Interesting Dan. I have not had time to look. Otto has developed an infection in his incision site, so we have been special ding time on the road to doctors.

This was actually written as an add-on to a collaborative piece called Project Monster M*a*s*h*. I don't know if this will be added to it because there were no posting instructions. I just had to write 8 lines of any kind, something to do. I wish you and especially Otto quick healing and God's speed to total recovery. take care...dan
