This week, the trifecta challenge was to build upon another 33 word challenge I’ve done before. Here’s the one I chose to follow on:
“I’m gonna count to three,” her mother warned. ”One…”
“No way, I’m not gonna… lalalalalalalaLALALALALALA–”
“Three.”
She paused, under the spell of three. She squeezed her eyes shut, crying. “Never.”
“What happened?”
“Hit.”
Her mother’s eyes melted. “Who hit you?”
“Dad.” Her lips trembled, terrified.
“Oh, honey…”
How could he do this? Hit a defenseless child? Her blood boiled.
“It’s gonna be alright…”
He was gonna pay.

What a twist. I was imagining a regular cute little story and it turns into a strong plot suddenly. I like the change.
