Feature Friday - Friday Phrases

Yaayy it's Friday!!!

So, there's something I've really been enjoying the last couple of weeks, on Fridays. It is called Friday Phrases, #FP for short. @FridayPhrases posts the topic for the day on Friday (and I really enjoy that for me, this comes along late on Thursday night and I can ruminate while on my way to sleep), and the challenge is to tell a story/poem/what have you in one tweet, on Friday. There's also a website where they collect their favorites, http://www.friday-phrases.com/, and have information for submissions to a book being worked on. ((Let's all admit there's more I could say, but typed this at like 1 in the morning...so...yeah.))

I'm really enjoying participating, and seeing what all people come up with. It's fun, and gets my gears going a little bit :)

Some faves from today (so far--I'd feature older ones but I'm being a bit lazy with searching back for them):

#FP “How are you?” they ask, unseeing. “Fine,” she forces a smile. She pushes back the thousand screams that threaten to emerge, choking her

On that very hill our last warriors faced the empire. It was a hopeless fight, but those thousand battle cries will echo in eternity. #fp

#FP Her friends were gone and she was alone in the catacombs. The smell of death lingered, so did a thousand screams echoing from long ago.

Her throat unleashes A thousand screams once silenced Arrows dipped in truth #FP #haiku #recovery #nolongersilent

Here are some of my own #FPs that are my faves:

When it's *really* time to talk, that's when she's filled w/ silence. No one'd understand if she bared her soul, so she covers it in gab #fp

The last call to board the plane made her heart quicken with excitement and fear. She hesitated, was she really going through with this? #fp

When she looked at him, she saw red. It was their love, their anger, their joy, their pain, their beginning & their end. #fp @FridayPhrases

Ozone ablaze, she now understood the warnings of old, the end was upon them. #FP

A thousand screams would be more preferable than the angry silence you're forcing me to endure as the world crumbles around us. #fp
