Friday Flash 55

It builds,
It builds.
Waiting for relief.

Momentarily the feeling
ends.
Only to build again.

Greater, greater
As your eyes grow larger.

The tingle.
The twitch.
Waiting,
Waiting.

Look into the light.
The brightest light.

Hold your breath,
Close your eyes,
Here it comes.

The relief,
Eyes shut,
Tighter,
The sound.

Achooo
Achooo

God Bless..

My mind went elsewhere. What does that say about me?

Alice Audrey said...

Hah! I knew it was going to be a sneeze. :)

Fun 55.

Buzzard said...

Okay, since many are taking a crack at something besides a sneeze; leave it to the Buzzard to think about a bowel movement.

three paragraphs in - my eyes were growing larger, wondering, is she really going THERE? than i read the bright light part.


all in all great descriptive piece!

Sherry said...

Perfect description...thanks for stopping by my blog!!

otin said...

Why the hell does looking into the light make you sneeze, anyway!?

Aphrodite's Mortal Friend (ME) said...

Ditto to a few others- I so thought this was about sex!

Susan said...

Great description of a sneeze! Thanks for visiting mine :)

SandyCarlson said...

That was fun and clever and sure had me feeling like I was about to....sneeze.

WhiteSockGirl aka The Fabulous Bitch said...

Once again, brilliant!

I love your Flash 55 series.

Allyson said...

Which is EXACTLY why a sneeze is like an orgasm. It builds, it builds...ah...sweet relief. ;) Also? Neither can be done with your eyes open. It's impossible.

I love how you can get such a clear picture across in just 55 words. That's a gift. Can you teach that to my mother-in-law?

David L Macaulay said...

nice one - having been attacked by two colds over the last few weeks I can relate. When you get to the point when people no longer say 'bless you' at work you know you're in trouble

Debbie said...

Oh, you are a good one! This was great. And as someone who just finally kicked a cold, you nailed this one.
