On this Six Word Saturday, I am using my 6 words to describe another counted activity. A friend of mine used to give me writing challenges to hone my skills....I thought I'd revisit one of them and pass on the activity: write any piece that is exactly 100 words long. That's it. If you accept the challenge, feel free to leave the link to your post in the comments, I'd love to come visit and take a read!!

"End" (100 words)
Once I could again breathe,
I didn't know whether to be angry or ashamed.
I had been hit with every name in the book
And both of his fists...
I'd been thrown into the wall, then onto the bed -
Last vision was him overhead
Before hands unclenched
(Just enough to fit my neck)
And then pressed down.
Time slowed.
He did not --
Holding my gaze
And my breath hostage.
And then it was over.
"I should go," he said,
Taking the stairs
And my pride.
But leaving the ring.
And then an hour later, he came back for that, too.
