One Liners

Click for more one liners
So, I have been watching this link-up for a while, but never participated. I was dead set on contributing last week, but when I sat to write about "The Fight," it all got a little too personal. In other words, I chickened out....

But, I am redeeming myself this week with the "A Great One Liner" prompt.

My one liner:

"I'm at the point where if you give me a box big enough, I'll live in it."

Short, simple, explains my feelings exactly.

    You did a great job. Simple, expressive, and path ways to go many places story wise. Awesome

    Love how simple you have made this, but yet you can go so many ways with a story line. Fantastic job!! :)

    This is really good Nikki and as others have said, a perfect starting point for a continuation if you decide you want to do that.

    I'd love to know what prompted it.

    So much said with one little sentence. Great job!

    For such a short and simple sentence this had a lot of impact with me. My mind wanders of all the possibilities this sentence could lead to. Great job!

    Summing up a feeling very well - desperation, exasperation and acceptance!

    @Sarah Mac My recent homelessness (now remedied by finding a home) prompted this little line. Thanks for the comment.

    This was really well done, you got the brief and delivered a short powerful sentence! I am pleased you decided to join in with us. You can always re-do The Fight exercise at a later date, it was a good one (though it was a little scary). I hope you enjoyed the exercise and will be back for more next week

    Simple, well put. This is a great example of a sentence that makes its point plainly. I think a lot of people get tangled up in words that don't fit. You've done a great job of just saying what you mean.
    Hope you enjoyed WoW. Hope to see you again soon.

    Glad you decided to participate! The simplicity of exactly how you feel made this great!
